means the power OF recalling various

complicated association OF ideas that
these bring up. and In the recalling

This also means reasoning and deci-

the alcoholic. and In any brain long
poisoned by alcohol II Is an impossi-

Is also weakened. There is excessive
torgetfulness OF the recent past. and
In some cases Of advanced alcoholism
there Is absolute forgetfulness Of wide
gaps OF years; man may be unable
to remember anything from the last

OF childhood make a deeper impress
