A CHALLENGE.

ESSRS. CURRIE and Co. Surgeons; at 6 in
his M.ijesty's service, challenge the. whole world to
prove a single instance where their medicine and method of
cure have tailed of the desired effect. The practice of many
years in this particular branch of their , profession, has-nct
given-rise to one unsueces'sfu las •
They continue to dired their studies
.to the treatment and
cure of venereal complaints, and that derangement of the sys-
. tent, which is the consequence of the pernicious and wasteful
effeets of a habit long and most unhappily pursued by the
:.youthni .both sexes. In the one it will be found to be the
utaiding:source of -barrenness; the other have its. ravages- la-
tal ly developed to theM 'by a itistresSing stile of debility,
NyhiCht ifsnot--timely . remedied,: terminates in. impotence.
These are its remote and ultimate etleds, while consump-
lion; ,lossof muscular power,-and Various neiiibuScoMplainta,
usually charaderise the earlier stages of this solitary vice.
0 I-persons languishing un.!er the disorders Indident to such a
habit,- their treatment is simple, and has never. proved unsuc-
cessful in the course of a long,- laborionS, and much extended
:proice. in the most obstinne-and ediripli.cated cases•of ve-
nereal infection, such as obstructions in the urethra, spungY
xcrescences, hard rumors, callous Ulcers,' 'eruptions, semi-
nal weakness, gleets, as also , • • . T
STRICTURES,'
Whether recent or of long duration, and which have bar
fled the skill of other Praditioners, are by their presentitn-
proved planet treatment, ettettaally and permanently cured,
without the Patient suffering - the. excrUciating pain. and
alarming hemorrhage which ti'equently follows the applica-
Itioli of the lunar caustic. 'ln -t,he "course. of twenty years
teNtenSive practice 'in this Metropolis, numerous cases of
Strictures- have been and-are daily under their carer the total.
!eradication of which is effeded by a safe, certain, and expe-
ditious mode-of practice; superior to any other yet adopted-
' The' vveakness, -relaxation, and debility proceeding front this
coii*laint are speedily removed, and .the Patient restored to.
salmi and vigorous health. But where the debility has tot
years existed, a proper perseverance in their restorptive re-
medies, after the Stricture has been destroyed,isindispensa
bly requisite to revive the slumbering sparks-of life and ta
reanimate the constitution.

Several Noble;nenlldbentleren of. the first resneetabi-

To THOMAS TAYLOR, Esq. -
No. 9, New Bridge-Street, Lonoon.
• Honoured Sir, - - Edinburgh, Match tfl, 180 t.
IBEG leave to inform you,, that ever since the
year 1790, I have been affli4led with the Lues Vene-
rea;- which, from its obstinately resisting. every course of
Medicine prescribed by the most eminent of the Faculty
here, and undergoing several severe courses- of salivation,
and twice discharged from the Hospital, with little relief;
would appear to be of the most inveterate-nature. in rho
spring of last year my disdrder had got to sush a head, as
nearly to put a period to my existence—l-had a large ulcer
on the crown of my -bead, one on each arm, and -my le6s
were broke out in a frightful manner ; my right was dread-
fully painful, and had, been in a statc of ulceration tor 01°
last seven years,- my left had also two large nodes on it,
was very much discoloured, and gave me such excrutiat-
ing pain, particularly when warm in bed, as-nearly to de-
prive me of rest ; in this lamentable state, I was recom-
mended by Mr. J. ThoMpson, (who received so great a
cure by them here), to take your. Leake's Patent Pills.
which Lbegan to cis on the 26th of May ; hi the course
of .a.fortnight, I began to receive benefit—in . little more
than a month, the ulcers on my hezd and anus were
• soundly healed—soon after, the sores on my_ legs healed
also ; leaving, however, considerable diseolouration in the
skin, and pain in the bone of the left, Which, by the. Bles-
sing of God, and a little longer perseverance in your tova-
luable Medicine, subsided r the nodes dispersing; the skin
regaining its natural hue, and the nocturnal pains gradually
going oti. 1 thus became, by your liberal advice and Me-
dicine, perfeetly free from all my fdrmer complaints—
have recovered lily fortner spirits and strength, and ain be-
come jolly and fat, in which state navingcontinued
months to -the astonishment of all who knew me,• I am at
a-lossi4i.vhat terms to express. my gratitude., bill. beF, you.
