To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Thus arsenic resembles coca in making the food appear to go far- ther, or to have more effect in feeding or fattening the body ; and, like coca, it gives the remarkable power of climbing hills without breathlessness. Farther, it resembles both coca and opium, and especially the latter, in creating a dis- eased and uncomfortable state of body, when the practice of eating it is interrupted, and in thus becoming through long use a necessity of life. The chemico-physiological action of arsenic in p...roducing these curious effects has not as yet been experimentally ifi- vestigated. The peculiar influence exercised by arsenic upon the skin is the cause of the improved appearance in the complexion of the human subject, and in the outer coat of the horse ; but the physiological nature of this influence, and how arsenic comes to exercise it, we cannot even con- jecture. Among other ways in which it acts chemically upon the system, experiment will probably show that it lessens the natural waste of the body, and especially that it diminishes the quantity of carbonic acid discharged from the lungs in a given time.
