CHALLENGE.

MESSRS. CUR RI E and Co. Surgeons, late in his
Majesty's Service, challenge the whole world to prove a
single instance when. their Medicine and method of cure have
failed of the desired effect. The practice of nuny year.. 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 Complaint and that derangement of the system,
which is the consequence of the pernicious and wasteful effects of a
habit long and most unhappily pursued by the youths of both sexes•
in the one it will be found to be the unfailing source of barren
ness ; the other have its ravages fatally developed to them by a dis-
tressing state of debility, which, if not timely remedied, terminates
in impotence. These are its remote and ultimate effects, while con-
stimptions,loss of muscular power, and various nervous complaints
usually characterise the earlier stages of t his solitary vice. Of per-
sons languishing under the disorders incident to such a habit, their
treatment is simple and has never proved unsuccessful, in the
course of a long, laborious, and much extended practice. In the
nio?t obstinate and complicated cases of venereal infection, such
as obstructions in the urethra, spungy excrescences, hard tu-
mours, callous ulcers, eruptions, seminal weakness, gleets, as also
STRICTURES,
Whether recent or of long duration, anti which have baffled the
skill of other Practitioners ; are by their presont proved plan of
treatment, effectually anti permanently cured, without the patient
suffering the excruciating pain and alarming hemorrhage which
often follows the application of the lunar caustic. In the course of
20 years extensive practice in this metropolis, numerous cases of
Strictures have been and are daily under their care, the total
eradication of which are effected by a safe, certain, and expeai-
Boils mode of practice, superior to any other yet adopted. The
weakness, relaxation, and debility proceeding front this complaint,
is speedily rentuved, and the pa•ient restored to sound and vi-
g•eruus health. But where the debility has for years existed, a
proper perseverance in their re• lora ive remedies, after the Suit--
tur e has born destroyed, is indispensably requisite to revive the
shin; brring sparks of life, and to reanimate the Constitution.
Several Noblemen and Gentlemen, of the first respectability,
have been under the care of Mows. Currie and Co. for the re-
moval of complaints of the Urethra, Strictures, &c. and, having
rece.ved a radical and permanent cure, request that references
may be made to them as satisfactory evidences of the decided su-
periority of Messrs. Curry and Co.'s plan of treattnt nt. Many
of these Gentkmet► have had Strictures from ten to twenty years,
and had been under the care of Messrs. Home and Heavisides,
and other surgeons of opal eminence, who attempted the cure
by the application 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, No. 107.

The patriots suffer the most grievous oppressions.
To name them would be enough to wake almost the
dead to revenge. Women insulted, virgins violated,
and ycutirs slaughtered. I heard myself, a few days
since, of a young man of nineteen, who was shot, and
his body horribly mangled, merely because he refused
to enter into the French service. Thank GOD they
find but few that will. Joseph and all his partizans
are detested in the capital. Would to Meevert
the nation would chew that hatred and take ven-
geance, but at present the enemy is toe& powerful.
—The people, had they but an opportunity, would
rise en masse. A young woman, the daughter of a
peasant, who lived near Alcala, called Juanua, re-
fused to surrender her person to the embraces of a
French Officer. She was supported in her resolution
by her parents. In the middle of the night five trol• diers entered their cottage, killed the father, and car-
ried off the daughter, who, after she had satisfied the
beastly lusts of the monster, was permitted to return
in rags and wretchedness to her mother ! This is not
' a solitary instance. I could tell you many more
equally shocking to humanity. It is impossible to
repeat half of them.
'rhe endeavours of Joseph to raise his militia is
Madrid has succeeded but miserably for him indeed.
The inhabitants groan under his yoke, and would
gladly throw it off. Murders are nightly committed
to the streets, and the most inoffensive are not free
from outrage.

FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE.

BAYONNE, OCTOBER 12.

For some time nothing important has happened
between the French army and that of the Angio-
Spanish. We blow that the French will remain
tranquil in their positions till the reinforcements,
which they expect, will put them in a condition to re-
sume offensive operations. It is certain, that a part
of the troops which are in the South of France, have
received orders to march to Spain, and that others
will follow them. Two batt;lions of chosen troops
of the national guards of the southern country, will
occupy the defiles of the Pyrenees, as well es the for-
tresses of the North of. Spain, of which the French
are masters. Quarters have already been prepared
on the high road from Paris to Bayonne, for a great
number of troops who will arrive shortly in this town.
