To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The diphther- itic poison is a most peculiar poison to the cells of the human body, producing areas of cell death not only on the surface of mucous membranes, but also in the deeper parts, in various lymphatic glands at a distance from the local lesion, and in the spleen. The discovery of the diphtheria bacillus is only one new fact in the germ history of disease. It is now pretty well settled that diphtheria begins as a local disease, attacking usually the mucous surfaces of the throat and nos...e, and by the formation of a membrane undermining the tissues in this region and poisoning the whole system. Like many other germs, the germ of diphtheria is in itself not so harmful, but it secretes from its minute body a vio- lent poison which enters the system at the point of DIPHTHERIA, 109 contact, which is usually in the throat or nose, and causes those extremely dangerous symptoms of poisoning and paralysis with which many a mother and nurse is so familiar. Unfortunately, it is prob- able that when once the disease has been recog- nized in a given case the specific poison has in- vaded the whole body, so that nothing can be done but try to sustain the patient and keep the disease from spreading to others.
