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, oh the blind and deaf, we are now thoroughly convinced;' Yesterday we saw three of his patients picked, we may say, promiscuously, from a numbe under treatment, and ye 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. 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'sto'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 n see at all well, and had a cataract on the right eye. 1 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 -r a person had to shout in her ear to he heard ; she 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, through being under treatment, a good deal inflamed. Mr jD. M'Killop, J.P., of Terra Bella, had every sympton 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 the eye and ear to pay him a visit, for we are con vinced that if si cure can be effected he is the man to do it. If it is impossible to do so" he will1 not buoy his patient with fales hopes—an admirable ait in character. r—Dubb Dispatch; .Obange, Thursday Evening.— Mr W.
