ALDRICH, Agent, Shortland street, Auckland. SEWING- MACHINES MADE BY TOE BRITANNIA COMPANY, COLCHESTER, ENGLAND, combine the best parts of the best Machines (avoiding their defects) with somo recent special improve ments, which no other Machine possesses. Every make of Machine, however far'removed from excellence, professes to be better than any other The task of selecting a Sewing Machine is therefore rather a difficult one, especially if the purchaser has no knowledge of machines, and has no other guide than the representation of various dealers Many people convinced of the advantage to be derived from using a Machine for needlework do not yet possess one because among so many they are unable to satisfy themselves as to which make is the best. A.s a practical maa and an Engineer allow mo to point out some of the advantages of these Machines. They will do all that any other Machine will, and do it belter, including Hemming, Quilting, Felling, Cording, Binding, Braiding. Stitching, &c., &c, with a perfect stitch alike on both sides. They are fitted with an improved break., which prevents the Machine turning the wrong way, and so entangling and breaking the thread. They make less noise than most Machines, and ia the nearest possible approach to noiseless. They are very simple, and will run for years without costing a shilling for repairs. jJEvery Machine is Warranted. Machines let out orrhire, the payment for which goes towards the purchase.

My Dear Sir,—Please to receive my sincere thanks for the relief you have given me in so short a time by the removal of a large and hard plug of matter from each of my ears, which had caused great irri tation for a long time past, and which I believe would ultimately have ended in total deafness. You are aware that in the first place I only saw you with a friend I accompanied, and not with the in tention of consulting you ; hut telling you of the excitement I felt, and asking you if you would kindly look and see if anything were the matter, you told me at once what it was, and prepared me ; for the extraction of the same. It is for this I beg most sincerely to thank you, and subscribe myself your most obliged and grateful friend, JAMES POLLIT.

Rosenthal.—This celebrated oculist and aurist arrived in Dubbo from Orange on Friday last, and since then he has been pretty largely employed. His quarters at the Royal Hotel have been attended by people from all parts of the district, from the Bogan, Castlereagh, and Macquarie. And, as far as an unprofessional person can judge, we can say—and say it boldly-that Mr Rosenthal has effected some wonderful cures. We determined to inquire for ourselves into his cases, and the consequences have been that although at first we were rather sceptical about that great skill that worked such miracles, as it were, on the blind and deaf, we are now thoroughly convinced. Yesterday we saw three of his patients, picked, we may say, promiscuously, from a number under treatment, and we will just note them. The first was a Mrs White, resident at Coonamble. She was almost, indeed, we may say totally, blind, when she came to Mr Rosenthal. Now, she can see per fectly well out of one eye, and the other, though rather weak just at present, promises to be as well as it ever was. Mr Thomas Matthews, of Meri Meri, when he placed himself under the doctor, could not see at all well, and had a cataract on the right eye. The cataract is disappearing, and the sight of the eye ™Proving daily. The left eye is perfectly weU. Mrs Wilds, of Gradgery, Merri Merri, was very deaf—a person had.to shout in her ear to be heard ; she was also,} indeed, we may say totally, blind, when she came to Mr Rosenthal. Now she can see perfectly well out of one eye, and the other, though rather weak just at present, promises to be as as well as it ever was. Mr Thomas Matthews, of Merri Merri, when he placed himself under the Doctor, could not see at all well, and had a cataract on the right eye. The cataract is disappearing, and the sight of the eye improving daily. The left eye is perfectly well. Mrs Wilds, of Gradgery, Merri Merri, was very deaf — a person had to shout in her ear to be heard ; she was also suffering from defective vision ; in fact, as she expressed it in the presence of the writer, " she oould just see daylight." A scum had gathered over both her eyes ; she can now hear fairly, and in a week or so a perfect cure is sure to take place. She can see almost as well as ever she could; but of course the vision is somewhat weak, and the eyes through being under treatment, a good deal inflamed' Mr D. M'Killop, J.P., of Terra BeUa, had every symptom of approaching deaf ness—the hearing of one ear was nearly stopped. Yesterday he underwent an operation performed by Dr Rosenthal, and, after a lapse of seven minutes, the ear regained all its normal properties. It is, in the face of these facts— which we can vouch for ourselves—impossible to question the Doctor's great skill. We have no hesitation in advising all suffering from diseases of thee ye and ear to pay him a visit, for we are con yincedk hati fa cure can be effected he is the man to doit. If it is impossible to do so he will not buoy;, is patient-with false hones—an admirable trait in his character. -Bubbo DtivaUh <UUniraDle OflANGi.TiiursdayEyening.-MrW.Evans.C P.S to the inwko DUpM --"For the benefit of' aub' I so-ibers please &ta*« that lv. ? -»♦* \_*\ -n.u deafness of some yeftrs' $ $%/* - *.'



Medical. "^ Mw I. S. Rosenthal.—Sincr~tMr^_r^ 4 arrival in Orange he has been visited by-mS^M seventy patients suffering from diseases oTnpw ffl\ and ear, and some astonishing cure* w lie 8 effected. Several of these came under on »^ e» and being persons well-known in the dislri-5 M- 5 easily accessible to any person wishing to be iS ,s * * 1 of the truth of the assertion, we may menti^™!l^ Mr Hurkett, of Cargo, has been blind fortw> ! years, and having placed himself under MrE. ci I thal's care is now cured, and declares he s«aj. tinctly. A little girl, aged about ten year. „.dis- 1 Emma Horsely, had been blind since the »» * twelve months. Her eyes now are quite chip? 6 ot* -P capable of performing endless execution on th. 1 ceptible feelings of the other sex when sheTV i" B little older. A case of deafness of twenty S! i standing, declared by the patient to be incuraU. .«.s' : by a skilful operation, cured in five minutes V*' residents may remember the case of Mr Livini My' S who has sought every available remedy for adi*' ' of the eyes. The last time we saw this gennerSß I was led about; yesterday, after being i_JX, *v 1 Rosenthal's care for about a fortnight, the eh_B.fi 1 extraordinary, and predicates a perfect cure W. another lady who had been totally blind fat l„,!£ years, and now sees. It is needless to mir-W oases. We may mention that Mr Kosenthalm!. remains a day or two longer, and, for the inf ormatt™ of up-country readers, may state that under ■_ I circumstance will he proceed further than Dnbhn Western Examiner. ™y I Mr I. S. Rosenthal.—The gentleman Wnf t_ special forte is in the disease of the eye and ear v? been practising in Bourke, and from the notices of ft I Press which preceded him we expected to find < i physician capable of fulfilling the expectation ..(i. 1 tamed. We have not been disappointed. The tell" monials and the favourable newspaper notieesiw.ii fully borne out—they are truthful. We have owwi,« seen three instances where Dr Rosenthal has reslorS sight to the totally blind for years, besides impS yision to many who were suffering from opthalml diseases of months or two yesrs' standing.' w' mention, because he is well known throughout to district, Mr James Horsfall, whose defectivesighthu been radically cured. MissFlafeery, of this town iv has'suffered from deafness for years owing to frfeS from the bite of a dog, had her hearing restored h our presence.
