One Result of Over-Fatigue

IN precisely the same way, though not
SO abruptly or spectacularly, many
people suffer from serious impairment of
memory through allowing themselves to
become over-fatigued. Nobody, for that
matter can remember things as readily
or surely when he is tired as when he is
physically vigorous and fresh. This is
fact to be borne we'll in mind by all of us,
and especially by those of us who find the
memory power not so good as could be
wished.
The brain is the basic organ of memory.
To remember well, ones brain must be in
good running order. To be in good run
ming order, the brain must receive an
abundant supply of good, pure blood.
Scientific experiment has proved that
when a person becomesfatiguedc certain SUBJ
stances are generated in his blood. These
substances have a poisonous quality, as
has been demonstrated by injecting blood
taken from a fatigued animal into the
veins of another animal not fatigued.
Within an extraordinarily short time the
second animal displays marked symptoms
of exhaustion, with difficulty of breathing
and increase of heartbeat.
Moreover, in order that the brain shall
work WE'LL it is not enough to keep it as
free as possible from the toxic products of
fatigue. The blood supply circulating
through it must be of character to nour-
ish it. This means that it must contain
certain elements, particularly oxygen and
elements derived from well assimilated

own friends name was also Murphy, but
to him it was always Jack. He had never
correspondent with him before. This was
the first time he was obliged to use Jacks
surname. He could not recall it (1) be-
cause it was directly connected with some
thing unpleasant to him, and (2) he could
not resign himself to give Jack the name
of the man he hated"
Worriers Have the Poorest Memories
NOW, being human, it is impossible for
~ us to eliminate completely forgetful-
ness caused in this way. But it is possible
to react less intensely than many people
do to the unpleasant occurrences of life.
The man who is chronic pessimist, fault
finder, and worrier need not be surprised
if he suffers from a treacherous memory.
His mental attitude reacts unfavorably
on his physiological processes to enfeeble
his brain, both by poisoning it and by de-
priving it of proper nourishment. 1 And,
at the same time, the psychological princi-
pie of repression comes into play, to cause
him to put out of conscious recollection
much that would have no unpleasant asso-
Citations to Others, and accordingly would
be more likely to be remembered by them.
On the other hand, if the disagreeable

emotional control, and
lead a hygienic existence,
he will have little fault to

That can be done effec-
lively in only one way-by

Systematic exercise of
the memory is to be rec
commended, if it is based
on increased use of the
powers Of observation:
some such method as that
practised, for example, by
a well known New York
statesman of other years
Thurlow Weed.
When Weed, who began
his career as a printer, de-
termined to 60 into pol
itics, he realized that he
had a memory weakness
that might be fatal to
his progress. One day he
made up his mind to try
to overcome it.
"When l came home

that night" he told friend, in describ-
ing, the plan he adopted, IL sat down
alone, and spent fifteen minutes trying
silently to recall with accuracy the prin-
cipal events of the day. l could remem-
Der but little at first-not even what
l had for breakfast. After few days
practice l found l could recall more.
Events came back to me more infinitely,
more accurately, and more wildly.
after fortnight or so of this my wife
said: Why don't you relate to me the
events of the day, instead of recalling
them to yourself? 1t would be interest
ing, and my interest would be stimulus
to you
Having great respect for my wifes
opinion, l began habit of oral confession,
as it were, which was continued for nearly
fifty years. am indebted to this
discipline for memory of somewhat
unusual tenacity, and recommend the
practice to all who wish to store up
facts"
Most people could advantageously prac-
tise this exercise from time to time. Its
great merit rests in the fact that it I'M
consciously habituates man to perceive
things wildly and accurately. 1t de-
velops his observational powers, and
inevitably improves his memory.
To be sure, the principle of the OBJ
liviscence of the disagreeabe still obtains.
No memory exercise, however ingenious,
will prevent a man from eventually for
getting-sc far as the power of immediate
conscious recall is concerned-that which
he subconsciously wishes to forget because
of its painful associations in his mind.
Forgetfulness Due to Lack of
Interest
THUS we are brought back to the fun
damental truth that the chief deter
minants of good memory are healthy,
well nourished brain and that pleasurable
mental state known as "being interested
Both must be present to insure good men,
DRY power.
And, it should at once be added, most
people whose memory is poor owe their
memory weakness to lack of interest.
Their brains are sound enough, but they
find the affairs of daily life so dull and UNI
interesting that their power of observation
has become atrophied, with a resultant
atrophy of their ability to remember.
Consider your own case. Your bust
ness, let us say is that of stock broker.
1t is important for you to have good
memory for market conditions in many
industries, the prices of stocks, and so
forth. You find that your memory for
these things is by no means as reliable as
it ought to be.
Do little self-analysis. The chances
are you will discover that matters not con-
nected with your daily work are of much
more interest to you than it is. Market
conditions, stock prices, bore you. Hence
you do not concentrate your attention on
them; you fail to fix them in your mind;
and accordingly you fail to remember them.

more agreeable a thing is
the greater the likelihood
of its being held in con-

has been experimentally
demonst rated, notably
through investiga tions

Brill, a New York neurologist who has
made special study of this phase of the
memory problem, gives the following in
stance:
"a young newspaper man to whom l
explained the new theory concerning the
forgetting of names insisted that this
could not be true, and to prove his as
sertion he related the following incident:
My friend Jack left the city recently,
and the other day l wrote him letter.

member his surname. began with Jack
and for the life of me could not proceed.
After at least five minutes thinking

him to concentrate his mind on the name
Murphy, and tell me all the associations
it evoked. After while he re-

greatly enjoying his novel experience. But,
about five o'clock, an extraordinary thing
occurred. Turning to his companion to
ask question, the Englishman found that
he could no longer speak German. Every
word in that language seemed to have
been blotted out of his memory.
Puzzled and alarmed, he desperately
endeavored to make himself understood
by his astonished guide. 1t was all in
vain. Not word of German could he
recall. Naturally, the inspection tour
came to an abrupt end, the superinten-
dent hurrying his unfortunate guest to the

A physician was summoned. He could

less, he wisely ordered the Englishman to

German as well as ever.

in an extreme degree of a phenomenon
