To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The acts of coughing and sneezing should be made innocuous by the use of the hand- kerchief. Utensils used by consumptives should be separately and properly cleansed and boiled. Kissing by consumptives should be avoided. But while we are thus led by the knowledge which has been gained of the tubercle bacillus to a more precise notion as to what should be done to prevent the spread of the disease, what has the accumulated lore to offer of hope or comfort to those already stricken? In the The Bac...teria of Consumption 97 first place, the physician can now say positively by finding the bacilli in the material discharged from the lungs, in many cases even in very early stages, that the lung is out of order. We now know that consumption is by no means a hopeless disease, especially if it be detected in its early stages. We know that the cells of the body, if they are in a properly active and vigorous condition, have a ten- dency to destroy the germs. In a large pro- portion of cases if the disease be early discovered, the wise physician, by recommend- ing life in the open air, improved conditions of hygiene, proper exercise and food, along the lines which Trudeau has spent so many in- spiring and fruitful years in developing, may hold out to his patient a good hope of ultimate recovery or of prolonged and comfortable life.
