8 Few General Remarks and Familiar
Reflections

Persons who read and study much, and
ana write not at all, often find themselves
suffering from a certain inability to
grasp what is on the printed page. Their
minds seem partially palsied- Such a
condition is probably due to disease
called mental dyspepsia, resulting from a
toe liberal feeding of the mind without
allowing it to free itself by some original
work. 1t takes great many facts. a
multitude of impressions, and thousands
of other mems ideas to produce one new
thought, or rather a thought so COM
pounded of the old that it seems new.
But with plethora of study and no out
let the brains become filled and clogged.
Persons who read much should devote
