To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
In some cases, the physical system be- comes sufficiently adapted to the climate to resist the surrounding deleterious influences, in two or three months. In other cases, a year or more elapses before this desirable point is reached. And in some cases, the physical system and the climate seem to be at variance for several years. In the course of my observations in the treatment of the acclimating fever, I fre- quently noticed that persons who had pre- viously suffered from local inflammatory af...fections were extremely liable to have a recurrence of some or all of the symptoms of the old disorder, in consequence of the previously inflamed organ or tissue being the "weak point" in the system. And in some cases, persons who might have en- joyed tolerable health in the United Stages die very soon after their arrival in Liberia, in consequence of the physical system not being sufficiently vigorous to undergo the necessary change, in order to become adapt- ed to the climate. Hence the impropriety of persons emigrating to Liberia whose constitutions have become much impaired by previous disease, by intemperance, or otherwise.
