Wish ing you every happiness, I remain, dear Sir, Yours ever gratefully, FR. AUGUST MULLEB. Witness—F. Babma.n. Lobethul, 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 Began, Castlereagb, and IMacquarie. 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 .Uosenthal. Now, she can see per fectly well oat 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 righfceye. 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.j 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 Mirri when he placed himself under the Doctor, could not see at all well, and had a cataract on the right ey«. 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 shont in her ear to le heard • 3he was also suffering from defective vision ; in fact, as she expressed it in the presence of the writer, "she could 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, w rOlT? Af<?£n Uder *r£ atment> 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 nnifenreßt an operation performed by Dr Rosenthal. and, after «v 3"? Sel? n Bni Mteß,.the ear regained all its normal properties. It is, in the face of these facts winch we can vouch for ourselves—impossible to question the Doctor's great skill. We have no hesitation in advising all suffering from diseases of tSeays and ear to pay him a visit, for we are con yincedk h»tif a cure can be effected he is the man todott._ If it is impossible to do so he will not ouoybis patient wilk falsa hopes-an admirable Ua,t in his character.— lhibbo DitpaUh. < Omhos, TVursday.Evening,— Mr W.

Medical. Ma I. 8. EOSEH7HAI,.—Since this g»ntlemMA H arrival in Orange he has been visited by upwards of I seventy patients suffering from diseases ot theey^Bl arid ear, and rome astonishing ewes have taj?' effected. Several of these came under cur BoSJr and being persona well-known in the district m easily accessible to any person wishing to be convtuM of the truth of the assertion, we may mentionefe* Mr Hurkott. of Cargo, has been blind forthirfoj '■ ysra, and having placed himself tinder Mr BoimT thsl's care is now cured, and declares he sees dS" tmctly. A littls girl, aged about ten yearr nanS , : Emma Horsely, had been blind since th» us n* twolvo months. Her eyes now are quite cured Jl capable of performing endless execution on the mi! ceptible feelings of the other sex when she setiV little older. A case of deafness of twenty jemi standing, declared by theßatient to be incurable *v by a skilful operation, cured in five minutes I{»S • residents may remember the case of Mr Uvinuatbnr who has sought every available remedy fdrndises*! tf of the eyes. Tlie last time we saw this gentlcm&iiht •■■' was led about; yesterday, after being under if! Rosonthal's care for about a fortnight, the chaugeii extraordinary, and predicates a perfect cure. Wu,w ■' ' another lady who had been totally blind for twtsty years, and now sees. It is needless to moltlnC, , cases. We may mention that Mr Rcsenthal cblt '■ remains a day or two longer, and, for the Information :i of up country readers, may state that under an s ' circumstance will he proceed further than Dubbo*. ; -; Western Examiner. Mr I. S. Rosen-thai,.—The gentleman, u]^ special forte is in the disease of the eye and ear' bti been practising in Bourke, and from the notices of th» Press which preceded him we expected to fIM « physician capable of fulfilling the expectation enter ■'■ 'i tainert. We have not been dicappointtd. Thetesti! monials and the favourable newspaper notices tre «iJ fully borne out—they are truthful. We have cmrielrS ' seen three instances where Dr Rosentba! hasrwtored sight to the totally 'ilinti fot yeaTs, besides impro^i vision to many v/ho were suffering from opthalmSe diseases of months or two years' standing.l Ay e mention, because he is well known throughout iMi district, Mr James Horsfall, whose defective stgfthte' been rafiically cv.rr d MissFlngery, of this town, wfo ha»?siif"fered from deafnefs for years owing to frifbt from the bite, of a dog, had her heariDg restored to our presence. A cataract was successfully removed from the eye of a bjackfellow in the service, of "if' M. O'Shannessy, Fsq, Fort Eourke. Mr Stew»rt:;tiia has been blind for about sixieen ycarg, can now '^ almost to rci.il print. A girl named Jones, who lnj been nearly blind for two years, can' now seethe1' smallest object, and plays with other children. '£"''"■'" young lady from Woomba, Willcanr.ia, named &it. ; bam. totally blind from Fome complaint, canaowEee but in every case a sudden influx of light must b| guarded against. The successful treatment stltojiaV1 tlena of Mrs 71. J. Adam's eyes is alone snfiiciHitto ' ; ! establish Dr Bosenthal's reputation as an oculist W. I could enumerate twenty instances of lewu ' well known in this town and district whose Bigh'timt j been removed ; and we think it but a duly on>«ijf part to notice the cases which are known to ra, m& to endorse the public opinion which has been to ': favourably and deserved!v bestowed Mr Bkjler' •' who has had bad c-yes for years, has been complete!? cured, and so have the eyfs of Mrs ReTuoltls. Hehw - fulfilled tvery promise made, snd tffeitert in ever 1 instance some very remarkable cures Dr Koienthi I has also this in his favour—he does not send n«i* . ■■, I the poor, nor does lie exact the least farthiag ft,-,* i tho»e in irdigent circumstances.
