Here is an example paragraph (second paragraph, first chapter, I underlined and bolded what looks like "typos"):
Quote:
They were both men. The one on the right of the nurse was middle-aged; the one on the
left somewhat older. Both were gaunt, both were hollow-e.yed' both had been given up by the doctors-arid "attendants. Yet there was one point of-difference between them. He on the left, the;-older of the two, had an incurable cqmpjaint for which no remedy was possible, while he on the right, though seemingly as ill ,'as his fellow, was less seriously affected, and stood some chance of being saved if only he would arouse from his apathy and exert his will toward living. But nothing had as yet been found to interest him, and he seemed likely to die from sheer inanition. It is through this man's eyes that we must observe the scene which presently took place in this quiet room.

It does get better, but there are a lot of errors that could be fixed by selective global search and replaces (extra spaces at end of sentences before punctuation, extra spaces in contractions, ...).
