A CHALLENGE

/r 1 ESSRS. CURRIE and Co. challenge the whole
kV.L World to prove a Single instance where their Medici
and Method of Curehave failed of the desired elled. The
pradice of many years in this particular' branch of their pro
tession has not given rise to one unsuccessful case. They con-
tinue to direct their studies to the treatment and cure of cer-
tain. Complaints, and that derangement of the system which
is the consequenceof a destrudive habit. Itis a melancholy
truth, hat the indulgence in th..,s solitary vice brings on those
Deficiencies and Debilities which frequently prevent and
embitter the Matrimonial State and imposes by anticipa:
tion upon its unhappy vidims all the infirmitiei of old age.
To such persons it must be a consoling reffethen to know
that they may bow, by a new and infallible mode of treat-
ment, be restored to health, strength, and manly vigour.---:
Messrs. Currie and Co. being. regular surgeons of the Royal
College, the idea of,empircisrn cannot possibly he attached
to their pradiee, for nothing but a thorough conviction, con.
firmed by many years experience, of the injudicious mode of
treatment adopted by the general Praditioner in the cure .of
Venereal Complaints, and that class,of Debility which inevi,
fahlY results front the indiscretions of could induce
them to deviate from the usual system, and by performing the
most surprising cures, convince the world of the decided su,
periqrity of their mode of treatment.

BUENOS AYRES.

PRESENT STATE OF THAT PROVINCE.

The country which now eonstitetesahQ Province
of Buenos Ayres was formerly subject to the eon-
iron! of the Viceroy of Peru ; but in 1778 it was
erected into a separate GoVernment. It has greatly
benefited-,bv this regulation, and, by the free trade
which Was granted to it in the same year. In 1791
Spanish as well as Foreign Merchants obtained per-
mission to import negro slaves and hardware, and
to export in return the produdions of the country.
This encouragement has Contributed, greatly to.the
advancement of agriculture and the increase of po-
, pulation ; and such is the fertility of the soil, that
if the same wise regulations should continue in force,
Buenos Ayres will probably become in a short time
the granary of South America. In those.regions,
which-are. blessed with a most favourable climate,
Nature alone, if no impediments ; e thrown in
her way, will almost spontaneously produce every
• thing: The Province, in which Buenos Ayres is si-
tuated is of great extent, .every where abounding
•,,with the most fertile cultivated lands; These are in-
tersened in every direOion ,by brooks and -riVers,
which fall into the great River de laTlata. The pas-
ture grounds support Millions of .cows, horses; sheep,
and swine: There is ablindance of salt, and no
want of- convenient pikes where . boats and ships
may- take in a ,cargo of sted flesh for. exportation.
The fishery on the coasts, espeCially of the whale
. seau elf, 'is'eery productive; as is the cliace in
the interior of the country.
.Tr, many di6tricts, cot=
ton, flax, and hemp are.cultivated ; nor is the pro=
vince entirely destitute of gold mines..
In the year 1796 the total value of; the imports
amounted to 2,8.53,944 piastres.. The expotta of
the same year were, coined and uncoined gold,
1,425,701 piastres ; silver, 2,556,304 ; of the re-
maining productions of the Province,' 1,076,877 ;
which-made a total-Of above five millions of pins-
tres. Hides; tallow, and wool were the principal
artialeS of produce.
Durina the war there was a great sta6anatcr of
trade,. and 4 want of all 'Rifts of European mann-
.
fat:tures; particularly linen ; in lieU of which article
tlo-y were obliged to itibsfitute Cottono manufzialured
,1 in the province. There was alSo a great demand for.
spirituous liquors, which could not be siapplied..
Monte Video is the best harbour in the country.
The necessaries of life. are here so extremelycheap,
that it encourages idleneSs. • There are numerous
parties of strollero here, called 'Gauderois, WhO re-
semble the gypsies in "Many things, hut are not
addaaed to thieving. They go about the country
in small -parties, and diVert• the peasants by-singing
love ballads,, acconapanied by the gpitar. ' The pea-
- sants, on their part, give them every thing they can
stand in need of, and the country is so abundant
thatethey want but little. To satisfy their hunger,
they need only .catch one of the cattle that are wild
about' this country.
The usual' Way of travelling frOm Monte. Video
to Buenos _Ayres is by dater; if the Weather be
favourable, a boat' may perform the passage in 24
hours. When it is unfavourable,. they are Soule-
times fourteen days.
'So lately -as forty years 'ago,- Bnenos Ayres was
only the fourth. city of the. vice-royalty of Peru,
and the citizens had no counting-houses.; but now
there is no city in South America, except Lima,
which ranks higher than Buenos Ayres ; and there
are few persons of opulence there, Who have not
villas,-and-who do not cultivate in their gardens all.

'Ayres are reckoned the most agreeable and handsome
in all South America ; and although they do not
equal thou of Lima in magnificence, yet their man-
ner of dressing and decorating themselves is not-less •
pleasing, and evinces a superior taste.
There is .such an abundance' of prdtiisionse and
