A CHALLENGP;.

MESSRS. CURRIE and Co. Surgeons, late in
lus:J%l.jesty's service, challenge the whole world to
prove a single instance where their medicine and method of
cure have tailed of the desired &lid. The practice of many
years in this particular branch of their profession, has not
given rise to one unsuccessful case.
They continue to dired their studies to the treatment and
cure of venereal complaints, and that derangement of the sys-
tem, which is the consequence of the pernicious and wasteful
effeds of a habit long and most unhappily pursued by the
youth of both sexes. In the one it will be found to be the
tinfailing source of barrenness; the other have its ravage' ta_
tally developed to them by a distressing state of debility,
which if not timely remedied, terminates in impotentcy,
these are its remote and ultimate eficls, while consumed
lion, loss of muscular power, and various nervous complaints,
usually eharaderise tha earlier stages of this solitary vice.
Of f persons languishing unier the disorders iricichmt to such a
habiti-their treatment-is simple, and has never proved unsuc.
cessful in the course of a long, laborious, and much extended
practice., In the most obstinate and complicated cases of ve-
nereal infection, such as obstructions in the urethra, spungy
excrescences, hard tumors, callous ulcers, eruptions, semi.
.nal weakness, gleets, as also
STRICTURES,

Whether recent or of long duration, and which have baf-
fled the skill of other Praditionersoire by their present im-
proved plan of treatment, elledually and permanently cured,
without the Patient suffering the excruciating pain and
alarming hemorrhage which frequently follows the applica-
tion of the lunar caustic. In the course of twenty. years
extensive pradice in this Metropolis, numerous cases of
Strictures have been and are daily under their care, the total
eradication of .which is etleded by a safe, certain, and expe-
ditious mode of practice, superior to any other yet adopted.
The weakness, relaxation, and•debility proceeding from this
complaint are speedily removed, and the Patient restored to
sound and vigorous health. But where the debility has for
years existed, a proper perseverance in their restorative re,
medics, after the Stricture has been destroyed, is indispensa-
bly requisite to.. revive the slumbering,sparks of life and to
reanimate the constitution.
Several Noblemen and Gentlemen of the first respeaa,
bility, have been under the care of Messrs. Currie, and Co.
for the removal of c:nriplaints of the Urethra, Strictures, &c.
and having received a radical and permanent Cure, request
that references may be given to them, as satisfactory evi.
dences of the decisive sveriority of Messrs. Currie and Co's.
plan of treatment. Many of these Gentlemen have had stric-
tures.froth 10 to zo years, and had been under the care of
Messrs. Home, Heaviside, and other Surgeons of equal -mi.
~ene, who attempted the cure by the application of the
Lunar Caustic, without success.
Messrs. Currie and Co. may be consulted by ei:her sex
with the greatest delicacy, secrecy, and honour, at their
house, No. 107, Hatton-garden.
Patients in the country are requested to state the particu-
lars of their case, age, and general habit of living, &c. &c.
inclosing a remittance for advice and medicines, when the
sante will be given or sent to any part or the kingdom. '1 o
ensure that secrecy so essential to their undertaking, the post-
age of letters may be added to the account for mcuivines.
