New sanitary conditions, removal from temptations, more favorable surroundings, congenial occupation, improved health, a higher self-respect, a sense of honor and responsibility, and the tenderness and strength of love for wife and children, may be powerful enough as motives to hold you always in the future above its enticements.

But, trusting in these alone, you can never dwell in complete safety.

You need a deeper work of cure than it is possible for you to obtain from any earthly physician.
