A CHALLENGE.

ESSRS..CURRI I awl Co. Surgeons, late in-
J:E. his Majesty's service,' challenge the whole world to
prove a single instance where Their 'Alenicate-and method of
cure have failed of the Arsired effect. The practice of many
years -in this particular branch of their profession, has not

Thee continue to direct their studies to the treatment and
cure of Venereal Complaints, and that derangement of the
system, which is the consequence of the pernicious and waste-
ful-effects of a habit long and most unhappily pursued by the
youth of both sexbs. In the one it will he .found to be the
unfailing source of barrenness; the ether have its ravages

which-if a-ot timely remedied, terminates in impotency, these
are its remote and ultimate effects, while consumption, loss of-

sons languishing under, thedisxualers incident to. such a habit,
their treatment is simple, and has never proved unsuccessful

practice.
In the,. inost obstinate and complicated cases of 'Venereal
Infection, such as obstructions in the urethra, spongy es

weakness, gleets, as also Strictures' whether recent, or of
Jong duration, and which have battled the Skill of other Prac-
titioners,' arc by their present improved plan of treatment,
effectually and permanently cured, without the patient suffer-
ing the excruciating pain and Alarming hemorrhage which
frequently follows the application of the lunar caustic. In
the course of twenty years extensive pract ice in this Metro-
polis, numerous cases of Strictures have been and are daily
.under their care, the total eradication of ayhich is effected by
a safe, certain,-and expeditious mode of practice, superior to
atfyother yet adopted. The weakness, relaxation, and debi-
lity proceeding front this complaint are speedily removed, and
the patient. restored to sound aml vigorous health. But where
the debility has for years existed; a limper perseverance nt
their restorative remedies, after the Stricture has been de-
stroyed, is indispensably requisite to revive the slurabcring
sparks of life and to reanimate they constitution.
Several Noblemen and Gentlemen oft he first ispectability,

moval of -complaints of the Urethra, Strictures, &c. and hav-
ing received a radical and permanent cure, request that re-
ferences. may be given to them, as satisfactory midences'of
the decisive superiority of Messrs. Currie and Co.'s plan of
treatment. Many of these Gentlemen haves had strictures
from 10. to 20 years,_ and had been under the care of Messrs.
Home, Heaviside, and other Surgeons of equal mui 11 nee, who
attempted the cure by the application of the Lunar Caustic,
without suecess.
Messrs. Currie and Co. maybe consulted by either sex with
the greatest delicacy, secrecy, and honour, at their house,
