ADVICE. •
WHEN Professional Nen, eminent for Oda
V and experience, offer their advice, and exert their
abilities, for the cure of a few reigning Diseases, they rise si-
perior to that prejudice which is so Justly excited against the
advertisements of peen, ignorant of the first princjple, and
'uneducated in the practice of physic. - Messrs. CURRIE and
Co. regular Surgeons, sanctioned by every privile-;e to prac-
tice, and by the uniform success wh:ch their mode of treat-
meat for Verret cal; (40114)1:tints has hitherto been attended,
continue with the same assiduity to direct theif studies to the
cure of every species of that baneful poison, as well as the re-
moval of those distressing debilities and deficiencies which
prevent or embitter the matrimonal state. Ins the ,ititiogutl
of human infirmities there are none More afflicting than those
which are the unavoidablb'consequeaces of :tor indulgence in
a certain destructive habit. The unhappy sufferer broods
over his misfortunes, ashamed to seek relief, until he is re-
duced, to such a state of misery as to render life oppressive.
To spell persons it will be a consoling reffection to know that
they may now, by a new and infallible remedy, be restored
to their former constitntional strength and vigour. Weak,
relaxed, and debilitated habits; proceeding either from art
excess of conjugal and illicit pleasure, or from a lung' resi-
dence hot climates; bard drinking, 'the injudicious use of
mercury, &e. are speedily restored to health and strength. ,
It most be a self-evident proposition, that where the ag-

gregate of intellectual capacity is directed to the treatment
and cure of a tee: peculiar complaints, there must be the
greater certainty of success; and as a proof of this pasitiot
their method of cure is so particularly expeditious. as well
as safe, and to evidently superior to the (Ammon practice,
that in some slight cases of infection a perfect restoration is
completed in the short period of three days, and in those of
the utmost inveteracy, where other practitioners have failed,
a proper perseverance in their plan of treatment ensures to
the patient a safe, welt-grounded, and lasting re-estahlish-
ment. By an early application, the patient will escape the
danger and expence of a tedious attendance upon the less ex-
perienced practitianer. In' the most obstinate and compli-
cated cases of .venereal infection, such as obstrot Lions in the
urethra, spungy excrescences,. hard tomoura, callous ulcers,
eruptions, semiiial weakness, gleets, as also STRICTURES,
whether recent or of long durution, and which have baffled
the skill of other practitioners, arc, by their present improved
plan of treatment, effectually and permabieutly cured, with-
out the patient suffering the excruciating pain and alarming
hemorrhage which frequently follows the application of the
lunar caustic. In the course of 20 years extensive practice ill
this metropolis, numerous cases of strictures have been and
are daily under their care, the total eradication of which is
effected by a safe,.eertain, and expeditions mode of practice,
superior to any other yet adopted. The weakness, refaxtv.
Lion, and debility proceeding from this complaint, is speedily
removed, and the patient restot et' to sound a.nd vigorous
health. But where the debility has for years existed, a pro-
per perseverance in their restorative remedies, aftet the
stricture has been destroyed, •is indispensably requisite to
revive the slumbering sparks of life, and to re-animate the
constitution.
Several Noblemen and Gentlemen of the first respectabi-
lity have been under the care of Messrs. Currie and Co. for
the removal of complaints of the Urethra, StrittureS,,&c.;
and having received a radical and permanent cure, reqoest
that rferences may,he made to them, as satisfactory evidences
of the decisive superiority of Messrs. Currie and Co.'s plan
of treatment. Nlany of these Gentlemen have had Strictures
from 10 to ep years, and had been under the care of -Messrs.
Home, Heaviside:, and other Surgeons of. equal 'eminence,
who attempted the cure by the application of the lunar
caustic, without success.
Messrs. Carrie and Co. may be consulted by either Sex,
with the greatest delicacy, secrecy, and hanittir, at their
house, No. 107, Hatton-garden:
Patients it: the Country are requested to state 'the particu-
lars of their ease, age, and general habit•of living, te.e.„ &c.

ted to us, in a fair, impartial, and candid manner,
that we have only been hurried along in the vorr'
tex of this awful time, without losing sight of
that which is a .favourite object with us—a re-
cord and unbiassed description of the literature
•
of an era as remarkable for a profuse harvest in
this respect, as for extraordinary productions of
other kinds.—We seize a moment of comparative
' relaxation from the oilaerwhelming Influx of vo7
luminous foreign pews and Parliamentary discus-
siocs, to bring before the public a recently trans-
-fated Work, possessed of many claims to perma-
nent favour, and most interesting at the present
mornent, from its treating of most of the men
-who are acting so conspicuous a part in the affairs
of a neighbouring country, on Whose success or
failure depends the misery or happiness of the
civilized world.
