Notes

a.	Note: Medical: George Smith Lake Preston South Dakota Memory is Elusive --- Capture It Five Year Diary The Mind is a wonderful machine. It needs but be just refreshed and incidents can again be revived in their former clarity. A Line Each Day, whether it be of the weather or of more important substances, will in time to come bring back those vague memories, worth remembering, to almost actual reality. Introduction Five years of your life, in written form, will be your reward for keeping this book faithfully and accurately. You will record your daily habits, your thoughts, and events of importance. As you roundout this chronicle of your doings, you will be able to check back a year from the time you are writing, and see at a glance your activities of a year ago. As you go along you will be able to turn aside the veil of forgetfulness, and see the events of two, three and even four years ago. You will find amusing recollections that will bring chuckles - possibly business affairs whose record will prove valuable, and certainly little precious memories that you will want to keep in the permanent form which this book provides.
