IMPORTANT DISCOVERY.
THE Advantage the Public must always derive
from regularly educated professional men directing almost
exclusively their studies to one species ottani*, was never more
clearly demonstrated than by the unexampled success which has
attended the administration of their new remedy, and the extraor-
dinary cures it has performed. For a long series of yeas, Messrs.
Cue lila and Co. Surgeons, formerly in his Mljesty's service, have
made the Venereal Disease the particular object of their invest,-
gallon, and are happy in having discovered a medicine superior to
mercury in the sure of that complaint; it is sufficient to observe
that the effects of this remedy are diametrically opposite tothose
of mercury, for though it completely eradicate* every vestige of
the virus, in its most confirmed stages, yetit does not in the least
injure the constitution ; on the contrary, it enovates the system
in all its natural functions, promotes appetite, and facilitates di-
gestion : thus instead of reducing a strong and vigorous constitu-
tion to the frightful condition that mercury does, it not only pre...
serves that constitution in its primitive state, but restores a weak
and debilitated one to its natural strength and vigour. Number-
less instances are on recent record of the superior efficacy of this
medicine, its inherent and specific virtues acting as a perpetual
corrective to bodily debility, whether proceeding from as excess
of conjugal at illicitplessure, or front the more insidious, though
not less destructive, indulgence of incautious youth of both sexes
in a-certain pernicious habit. Amidst the melancholy variety of
disorders which are the consequence of this solitary vice, there are
none more afflicting than that distressing state of debility and de-
ficiency which prevents or embitters the matrimonial state ; the
unhappy sufferer broods over his misfortune, ashaznedto seek re-
lief, until he is reduced to such a state of weakness as to render
life opptessive. To such persons it must be a consoling reflec-
tion to know, that they may now, by a new infallible mode of
treatment, be restored to that greatest of all human blessings,
Throng, manly and vigorous constitution.
In all cases of debility, deficiency, from whatever cause arising,
as well as in every species of venereal infection, Messrs. Currie
and Co. may be consulted by patients of either sex with the
greatest secrecy, and honour, at their house, No. 107, Batton
Garden. Patients in the country, describing the particulars of
their complaints, by letter post paid, enclosing a Bank note, will
have the necessary medicine and advice seat to any part of the
kingdom. No. 107, HattonGarden.'
