To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
(11) There is in both diseases a lilac tinted cyanosis which shows itself in localities such as the fingers and toes, certain areas on the cheeks and lips. (12) Improvement follows when hygienic changes are made early in the disease. After it has continued a longer time, relative recovery alone can be expected. (13) Both diseases encourage the onset of tuberculosis, dysentery and in some localities malaria. (14) The result in both diseases is a certain inco-ordination of motion, which is termed... by the alienists mannerism. (15) The death rate in the chronic disease, both of beriberi and dementia precox, is small, 2 to 5 per cent. By these analogies we would suggest that the proper attitude toward beriberi, kala-azar, pellagra and the milk-sickness of our prairies is the proper attitude to- ward adolescent insanity. Dementia precox is no dream, it is no inscrutable dispensation of providence, it is no engulfing habit. It is a toxemia of tangible, material origin, which a suitable application of the in- exhaustible cunning of the human mind will bring to light and subjugation.
