What reading level is The Laws of Health, Or, Sequel to "the House I Live In" book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:

The water, in these cases, rushes from the salivary 541. When our food is soft and pelding, and full of moist- ure, as in the case of soft or^soaked bread, or succulent fruits, or well prepared vegetables, comparatively little saliva is needed, and consequently but little is furnished. But the contrary is the fact when the food is hard and dry, as in the case of crack- ers, wafers, bread crusts, etc 542. It hence follows that soft and succulent food can always be eaten more rapidly tiian hard a...nd dry food, unless the saliva is furnished in greater abundance to meet the exigencies of the case, or unless fluids are purposely added. Some rely wholly on their own resources ; but the vast majority of mankind use drink with their food.
543. K we use no drink with our drier and harder food, the result is, at first, that we must eat slowly. Soon, however, we acquire the habit of manufacturing saliva in such quantity as to supply eveiy reasonable demand. If we use drink, little saliva is furnished, and, the salivaiy glands becoming indolent, there is a tendency to furnish still less ; so that the more we drink with our meals the more we may, and in fact the more we must.
