To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Some one now may perhaps put the following question : if plague be inflammatory, how is it that medicines of a heat- ing character, as is the case with the majority of the alexi- pharmics, are used with such great advantage both in the thera- peutics and the prophylaxis of the complaint ? To this I reply, that it is only as an accident that they do good, i. E. By their good effects as diaphoretics ; whereby the particles of inflamed blood are dispersed and eliminated. If (as is often the case) ...the exhibition of these be ineffectual in promoting perspira- tion, their mischievousness is soon proclaimed. The ardour of the blood is aggravated by the superadded heat. To speak one word upon the prophylaxis of plague. I am well aware that the use of hot antidotes is much vaunted. What good they can do still remains to be proved. Certain it is, that the free use of wine, and other strong preservatives, taken at stated hours, and in the way of regimen, has brought the disease upon many persons who, in all probability, would have remained safe and sound otherwise.
