To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
There is no meaning that we can understand connected with the adjective "simple" as popularly applied to remedies. The ancient meaning of a ''simple" remedy was, as nearly as may be expressed, an herb or vegetable remedy supposed to have a "simple" or specific curative power over some dis- ease or upon some organ. The bark from which quinine is gained would have been a typical example. But (and this is why we emphasize it) practitioners are not a little both- ered by importunities for some "sim...ple" remedy to do this or that, the meaning being, so far as can be guessed, to ask for a remedy which shall be very potent against the disease or unpleasant symptoms, but entirely devoid of any other effect. All of which is as wise as the seeking for a gunpow- der which shall be of the greatest power in propelling the ball and which shall produce no recoil of the gun. As applied to your case, this means that, while quinine is in many ways— to some more than to others— a remedy of very disagreeable action, yet it and the kindred alkaloids associated with it in Peruvian bark are, far and away, the best remedies we have against malarial fever.
