Every make of Machine, however far'removed from , excellence, professes to be better than any other. i The task of selecting a Sewing Machine is therefore ! rather a difficult one, especially if the purchaser has j no knowledge of machines, and has no other guide j than the representation nt various dealers ■; Many peop'e convinced of the advantage to be J derived from using a Machine for needlework do not yet possess one becauys among so many they are unable to satisfy themsc'ves as to which make is the best. As a practical rau and an Engineer allow ma to point out some •' the advantages of these Machines. They will Stt all that any other Machine will, and do it better, including Hemming, Quilting, Felling, Cording, Binding, Braiding. Stitching, &c, I &a, with a perfect stitcfc alike on both sides. } They are fitted with an improved bp.eak, which ' prevents the Machine turning the wrong way, and so entangling and breaking the thread.

Dear Sir, —I have great pleasure in thanking you on behalf of my wife for the cure you have effected on her eyes, she having suffered great pain for the last four years Also on my own behalf, having suffered very much with weak eyes for about three years.

My eyes are getting on nicely now; and Mrs Free bairn's are getting strong. St. Luke's, July 2S, 1573. 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 fs>r 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. Dear Sir, —I am truly happy to Inform you that I have quite recovered my hearing. When I came to you I was almost deaf for the last two years. Wish ing you every happiness, I remain, dear Sir, Yours ever gratefully, FR. AUGUST HULLER. Witness—F. Badjl/ln. Lobethal,- August 15, 1573. OPINIONS OF THE PRESS. Mr I. S. 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 ssy, 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, cf Meri Meri when he placed himself under the doctor, could not see at all well, and had a cataract on the right eye. rhe cataract is disappearing, and (he sight of the eye improving daily. The left eye is perfectly well Mrs \\ Uds, 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 oue eye, and the other, though rather weak just at present, promises to be as as well as it ever ,vas. 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 • ihe cataract is disappearing, and the sight of the S? c V?P, roving daily. The left eye is pe.fectly well. Mrs Wilds, of Gradgery, Merri Merri, was very d.af ' - a person had to shout in her ear to Le heard • she I was also suffedng from defective vision ; in fact as ' she expressed it in the presence of the writer, "she could just see da}'light." 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 Bella, had every | ! symptom of. approaching deafness—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 theaye and ear to pay him a visit, for we are con ymcedt hat f j a cure can be effected he is the man to doit. If. t is impossible to do so he willnot buoyi is patient with false hopes-au admirable tialt In his character. — Dubbo Dispatch. umlraDle CaANMK.TVnrsday Evening,—MrW Evan<s P Ps to the IjxMo Dispute --"For the benefit of sub-, scubers please btfc* that i*. * * »a ha* £t deafness of aomeyeors' a £&£," "**■
