To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The Bairagi having held his head aslant, the small end of the fmmel tube was appHed to his right nostril and one end of the other tube to his left nostril, the latter being lower than the former. Water was now poured, from a vessel with a spout, into the funnel, and came of! in a continuous stream at the end of the other and lower tube — a rather difficult performance this, I should fancy. It remained to plug the left nostril for the night as the other had previously been, for they were stopped... turn about. This operation was accomplished by passing a long wick, or cotton cord, up the nose, and finally introducing its other and knotted end with a little force into the much distended nostril. As the stiffened end of the cord disappeared up the ascetic's nose, a veracious disciple assured us that it had gone straight up into the brain. He repeated this statement many times, and the Bairagi, who heard it, and knew it was not true, did not contradict it. These operations duly accomplished in the public gaze, the holy man was helped back once more into his un- comfortable lodging in the palanquin.
