A CHALLENGE.

CURRI E and Co. Surgeons,- late in
IV A. his Majesty's s:rvice, challenge. the whole world to
prove a single instance where their Med-i Cine and method of.
core hare failed of the desired effect. The practice of many
yearS in this particular branch of their profession, has not
given rise to one unsuccessful case.
- They continue to direct their studieS to the -treatment and
cure of Venereal Complaints, and that derangement of the
system, which is the consequence olthe pernicious anctwaste-
ful affeets of a habit long and roost unhappily pursued 'by the
youth of both sexes. In the one it will he. found to be the
unfailing source Of barrenness; the other hai! its ravages
fatally developed to them by a, distressing state of debility,'
which if not timely retnedied, terminates in impotency; these
are its 'remote and ultimate effects, while consumption, loss of
muscular power, and various nervous confplaints, usually
characterise the earlier stages of this-solitary vice.—Of per-
sons languiAing under the disorders incident to such a habit.,
their treatment is simple, and has never proved yusuccessful
in the course of a lung, laborious, and 'much extehded
practice. • .

In the most obstinate and complicated cases of Venereal
Infection, such as . obstructions in the urethra, spungv ex-
crescences,-hard' tumors, callous ulcers, eruptions, seminal
weakness, gleets, as als6 Strictures, whether , recent or of
loug'ituration, and which have baffled the skill of other Prac-
titioners, are by their present improved plan of treatment,
effectually and., permanently cured, without the-patient seer-,
ing the, excruciating pain -and alarming heniorrhnge which
frequently follows the applicatiOn of the lunar caustic. In
the course'of twenty years extensive practice in this Metro-
polis, numerous cases of Strictures have, been and ane daily
under thiir care; the total -eradication of 'which is effected by'
a safe, certain, and expeditious &node of practice; superier.t.
any other yet iLlopted. The weakuess„relaxation, and debi-
lity proceeding from diis.complaint are speedily reav)ved, and
the patient restored to sound and vigorous health. But where
the' debility has fox years existed, a proper perseverance in
their restorative remedies, after the Stricture has been de-
stroyed, is indispensably requisite to revive the slumbering
sparks of life and to reanimate the constitution.
Several Noblemen and Gentlemen of floe first respectability,
have been Under the care of'Messes. Currie and Co. fin the re-
moral of complaints of the Urethra, Stricture",
,Sce. and hay-.
ing received a radiCal
,and permanent cure, request that re-
fereneeS May be given' to them, as satisfactory evidences of
the decisive superiority of _Messrs. Currie and Co.'s piau of
treatment: Maly, elf these Gentlemen have had strictures
from 10 be eo years, mut had been ender the care of Messrs.
lleaviside, and otherSurgeous of equal eminence, who
attempted the cure by the appli,:ation.of the Lunar Caustic,
without success. . '

MeSsrs. Currie and Co. may be consulted by either sex with
the greatest delicacy, secrecy, and honour, at their house,

JOUftNALi oti‘ A TP.II' TO PARIS.

MR tpiTott,

(Yo. III.)

. .
France, that land of delight, of .boast, of von-
der; that land, of which its children are -never

. tired of speaking in enthusiastic terms of rake ;
• Przence, changed by despotiSm, ruined, deport,-
iated; covered with hostile arms, but greatly blest
1.77 tiazure with the means of resroratkin, is now
before us : and, mixing,'as I shall do, observations
'of every bind together, glancing from politics to
agriculture) and from serious matters to trifles, I
continue the narrative begun in mflaat letter.
On Thursday the 21st, left _Calais a quarter be-
tore G o'clock, and at 7 reaclfed. BuisSon, 2 posts.
The country appears to be finely -cultivated, and
though this northern road
,to Paris runs through
the poorest soil and Ivorst climate of France, it
was yet so rich and beautiful as to attract my ad-
miration, The rising wheat looked extremely
strong ;:vegetation not more advanced than in
the neighbourhood of Londen.• ,
The difference which first. strikes an English-
- pion is the absence of fences. There is no hedge
,or division of any kind, and the whole country is
only one large field, patched out into crops,
or
follows, with- an occasional wood, or the occur-
rence of a few bushes. This detracts much from
the beauty of the landscape. There is a sameness
of appearance, not diversified by a
,single devia-
tion from ploughed land and greensward, which,
in spite of the richness of the one and the fertility
_of the other, fatigues the eye,. and conveys no
pleasurable emotions to the mind.
But the ,want of variety ib the tace-Of the coun-
try is amply- compensated to: a stranger .by the
singidarity and variety which attaches' to the
people. At Buisson our postillion mounted in
the old costume. I imagined,. that, instead of
waking out of the dream in which all 'Europe has
been Occupied for the last, twenty years, and
which, When I left London, I heard persons say-
ing, was just over, - I had again-plunged into that
wonderful state where fancy forgets reason, and
had gone back fifty years into ancient France.—
Thelaige cocked hat, the powdered and ponderous
queue, the ragged tires's, flid, beyond all, the
enormous jack-boots into which this veritable.
Frenchman inserted his puny limbs, restored 'me
to half a century, and I became in an instant the
.companion of the writer's/of that day, whose lu-
enbrations are now almost forgotten. , Away we
went, in a style worthy of the costume of our
driver. Nothing hut cracking and flourishing, but
aintotnetitary cessation of these accomplished ma-
noeuvres, to look. behiad and see how they were
admired by my-tor Anglois. During the remainder
of the journey nearly the same objects presented.
themselves ; and, if the postillions may be taken
as an example of the stability of manners, habits,
and opinions in France, the mighty Revolution,
which has agitated the whole world, hats pro-
duced no alteration in the country of its birth.
'The country people, too, are not altered in their
habits more than the postillions-. We passed the
farmers' wives and daughters on tiliii way to the
market at Boulogne, mounted, as in days of yore,
on the panniers of their asses or little horse, in
tile costume of the paintings of 1714, riding. Sid-
eways, and jogging on with the perfect uniformity
of -last century.

At Mar:vise, the eahriolets• were surrounded
by at least a dozen of beggars—w-ornen,
ren, the lame and the yhei.e. were no
Ronteir among them, yet the objects of charity
weve'so well calculated to excite compassion, that
the frank which had been converted into sous, in
expectation of these applications, Was very qUick-
ly exhausted, and still there were a nuniher of

wretches whose Ivan tlnd meagre looks claimed

sytnpathy and relief. I never witnecsed so muc

misery within so small a compass. I alighted,
and went into a Hut to procure change for an-
oth.n. frank. There sat a wounded soldier, un-
able to come out to solicit relief. Thirty,Con-
seripts‘had been dragged from the little flamlet
of 'Marquise—the whole of its vigorous popula-
tion. He was one of them; the only one who
'bad returned !

. This, I assure you, Sir, isno•overdrawn picture,
As proceed with my journal, I shall have to tell
yoU, that from Calais' to Paris there is scarcely a
young man to be seen.. What _I had heard in
England of the destruction•of the strength and
gt:Anhood of France, in the cruel wars into which
the., ambition of a Demon plunged her, turns out
to mere faint outlines of the horrid truth :
sketch', and a slight sleteli, of the exhaustion of
t co;" rhq filling up of which is too dread-.
ful for belief, even ware there a pencil able to
delineate it on its own dark and forcible colour..
