CHALLENGE.

MESSRS. CURRIE and Co. Surgeons, late in hi:.
Majesty's Service, challenge the whole world to prove a
single Instance where. their Medicine and method of cure hive
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 curt
of Venereal Complaints, and that derangement of the system.
which is the consequence of the pernicious and wasteful effects ids
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 art its remote and ultimate effects, while con-
sumptions, loss of muscular power, and various nervous complaints
usually charactqist tie 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, such
as obstructions in the urethra, spongy excrescences, hard tu-
mours, callous ulcers, eruptions, seminal weakness, glests, as aist
STRICTURES,
_ _

Whether recent or of long duration, and which 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
20 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 practice, superior to any other yet adopted. 'fbe
weakness, relaxation, and debility proceeding from this complaint.
is speedily removed, and the patient restored to sound and vi-
gorous health. But where the debility has for years existed, a
proper perseverance in their restorative remedies, after the Stric-
ture has been destroyed, is indispensably reqesisite to revive the
slumbering sparks of life, and to reanimate the Constitution.
Several Noblemen and Gentlemen, of the first 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 evidences of the decided su-
periority of Messrs. Currie and Co.'s plan of treatment. Many
of these Gentlemen have bad Strictures from ten to twenty years,
and had been under the care of Messrs. Home and Heavisides,
and other surgeons of equal 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.
Hatton-Garden. Patients In the country are requested to state
the particulars of their case, age, and general habit of living, &c.
inclosing a remittance for advice and medicines, when the same
will be given or sent to any part of the kingdom.
To ensure that secrecy so essential to their undertaking, tits
postage of Letters may be added to the account for medicines.

Although a very young man, I was reduced to such a stare of
debility, in consequence of a nervous complaint, as scarcely to ir
able to walk, and totally unable to follow my usual employment,
I bad many other disagreeable symptoms, particularly a violent
pain in the stomach, with a great depression and lowness of SFi-
tit% In this miserable situation I had recourse to your Cordi2l
Balm of Gilead, and bought a small bottle from Mr. Smith, sr,
North-Bridge, your Agent In this City, (to whom reference mai
be had) from which I derived so much advantage as to be able in
the course of a few days to resume my employment; since that
time I have taken several bottles more. from which I have also
experienced similar benefit, so much so, that to your medicine,
under theme Pitovzozoor, I look upon as the reservation of
my life. Accept, therefore, dear Sir, of my mast grateful thank.;

ICONSIDER It but an act of justice due to the
merits of your LEAKE's PATENT PILLS, to communicate
to you the following Cure, which has recently been performed by
them. An acquaintance of mine, who by the breaking out dm
old Venereal Complaint (attended by a complication of disordas
arising therefrom) was reduced almost to a skeleton, and 'kw
he had the best medical advice which could be obtained, and tried
a variety of patent medicines, nothing could be procured which
seemed to suit his case, or do him any service; he remained inn
most reduced and pitiable situation for two years, unable to fol-
low Kis profession, and scarcely able to walk or even to stand on
his legs ; in fact, no one who knew him ever supposed it possible
for him to recover. He was advised at last to try your Leake's
Pills—he did so, adhering strictly ao the directions given with -
them—he had not taken more than two boxes, before he farad
an alteration for the better--thhiencouraged Make* proceed am
by taking a few boxes more he found his appetite and Erato
gradually return, and is now as healthy and stout as any mm,
know. You are welcome, Sir, to refer any person to sue for a
confirmation of the above account, if It should be doubted. lam

- IL 13ER'f's VEGE'rAbLE AN'IISCOR-
BUTIC DROPS, in bottles at 225. and a smaller the a
Is. 6d.--The variety of diseases that prevail at this seasen of the
year, generally originating from impurities of the blood, a vitia-
ted stomach, or obstructed perspiration, ft is with the fulletcto-
fidence of success that we strenuously recommend this unrivaled
medicine to public notice, as being a certain preventative and
cure for numerous diseases, particularly the land and sea scurvy
cancers, king's evil, ulcerated sore legs, running wounds in any
part of the body, leprosy, eruptions after the small-pox or ens
sirs, inflammation hi the eyes, St. Anthony's fire,rheumatism sad
rheumatic gout, slow, nervous, and intermitting fevers, and all the
ong train of disorders which attend the scurvy internally.
the following remarkable instance of the wonderful effects of the
VEGETABLE ANTISCORBUTIC DROPS,
In those dreadful diseases termed the Scrophula, was attested
before Sir John Wilmot Prideaux, Rart.chiel of his Maesty's
las-
ticcs of Peace for the County of Devon, 22d of December, 1803
1, Solomon Anning, of Colyton, in the said County, Stone-
mason -was, about libe years ago, seized with a violent pain is
my side and head ; soon after, a humour broke in my neck.
near the collar-bone, and became a desperate wound; In about three
weeks after three more wounds broke out below my ear, and a
large gathering appeared on the other side of my neck, which
caused suck extreme pain I could not gain any rest night or
day. I then took a bottle of Dr. Gilbert's Vegetable Antiscor-
butte Drops, soon after those wounds healed. and the humour
abated, but not pet severing in the medicine a sufficient time,'
violent swelling affected one of my legs, and my knee became se
stiff and enlarged, the faculty deemed it a white swelling, and
treated it as such for a considerable time. I now became a per-
fect cripple, soon after my afflictions were greatly increased by a
powerful inflammatory hetuour, which settled in my eyes and
nearly deprived me of sight • my whole frame now became bur-
thened with this disease; the crutches which I had long used
were ao longer of use, I became confined to my bed. The ht
advice I had from my surgeon was to get myself removed to me
of the,London Infirmaries, this I did not approve of, it appeared
doubtless whether I could undertake the journey. At my wife
request 1 put myself a second time under a coarse of Dr. Gilberts
Vegetable Antiscorhutic Drops, resolving to give them a fair
trial ; the wonderful effects produced a favourable alteration, sad
by the time I had taken seven or eight bottles, 'I became a sound
man, every wound healed, my leg and knee returned to their for-
mer size and strength, having for sever4l months not felt thekass
symptom of the aforesaid complaints, and I enjoy a very goo&
state of health. SOLOMON AN N 1 NGI
