To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Many horsemen put the hand to the side. They can certainly count the pulse there, but they can do no- thing more. We must be able to press the artery against some hard body, as the jaw-bone, in order to ascertain the marner in w hich the blood flows through it, and the quantity that flows. When the pulse reaches fifty or fift3'-five, some degree of fever may be apprehended, and proper precaution should be taken. Seventy or seventy-five will indicate a dan- gerous state, and put the owner and th...e surgeon not a little on the alert. Few horses long survive a pulse of one hundred, for, by this excessive action, the energies of nature are speedily worn out. Some things, however, should be taken into account in forming our conclusion from the frequency of the pulse. Exercise, a warm stable, and fear, will wonderfully increase the number of pulsations. When a careless, brutal fellow goes up to a horse, and speaks hastily to him, and handles him roughly, he adds ten beats per minute to the pulse, and will often be misled in the opinion he may form of the state of the animal.
