CHALLENGE.

MESSRS. CURRIE and Co. Surgeons, late ;n tie
J. Majesty's Service, challenge the whole world to prove a
single instance where their Medicine and method of cure have
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 it 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 tearer-
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 car -
sumptions, loss of muscular power, and various nervous complaints
usually characterise the earlier stages of this 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
most obstinate and complicated) cases of venereal infection, saris
at obstructions in the urethra, spungy excrescences, hard tt
moors, callous ulcers, eruptions, seminal weakness, sleets, as also
STRICTURES,
Whether recent or of long duratem, and wkich have baffled the
skill of other Practitioners ; are by their present improved plan of
treatment, effectually and 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
en years extensive practice In this metropolis, numerous cases of
Strictures have been and are daily under their are, the total
eradication of which are effected by a safe, certain, and expedi-
tious mode of practlee, superior to any other yet adopted. The
weakness, relaxation, and debility proceeding from this complait,t,
is speedily removed, and the pa,:ent reaored to sound and vis
goroes health. But where the debility has for years existed, a
pro; er perseverance in their restorative remedies, after theStnc-
titre has been.destroyed, is indispensably requisite to revive the
slufabering sparks of life, an to reanimate the Constitution.
Several Noblemen and Gentlemen, of the firs: respectability,
have been under the care of Messrs. Currie and Co. for the re-
moval of complaints of the Urethra, Strictures, &c. and, having
received a radical and permanent cure, request that references
may be made to them as satisfactory evidence, of the decided su-
perionty of Messrs. Currie and Co.'s plan of treatment. Many
of these Gentlemen have had Strictures from ten to twenty years,
and had been under the care of Messrs. Home and Heavi,itles,
and other surgeon of equal eminence, who attempted the cure
by the anitcatioa of the lunar caustic, without ISUCCVS.
