That it is not always well to pm your

who has been q slave to his appetite
for stimulants, and has often been
thrown into alcoholic temptations.
After remaining a month I found that
gradually my system and health were
improving. and ! knew by my general
feeling and moral tone that the treat

lants were concerned, / was a free

use of stimulants without having any
