My eyes are getting on nicely now ; and Mrs Free bairn's are getting strong. St. Luke's, July 23,1873. 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 eich 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 yon. and subscribe myself your most obliged and grateful friend, JAMES POLLIT. Dear Sir,—l am truly happy to inform yon 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 MULLKB. Witness—F. Babm-U.. Lobethal, August 15,1373. 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 aU 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 skiß 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 weli out of one eye, and the other, though rather weak just at present, promises to be as weß as it ever was. Mr Thomas Matthews, i,f Meri Meri, when he placed himself under the doctor, could not see at all well, and had a cataract on the riglit 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' b to shout in her ear to be heard ; she was also,i iAdeed, we may say totally, bUnd, 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 daUy. The left eye is peifectly well. Mrs Wilds, of Gradgery, Merri Merri, was very deaf — a person had to shout in her ear to be heard; she was also Buffeting 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 D.. M'Killop, J.P., of Terra BeUa, 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 m. advising all suffering from diseases of the eye:and ear to pay him a visit, for we are con vinced, that if a cure can be effected he is the man to do it. H it is impossible to do so he wfflnot buoy his patient with false hopes—an admirable trait in ;his character.— Dubbo Dispatch. Obanqis Thursday Evening,—Mr W. Evans, C. P.S., to the Dubbo Dispatch :—" For the benefit of sub scribers please state that Mr Rosenthal cured my deafness of some years' standing." Ma L a. Rosknthai..—Since this gentleman'B arrival in Orange he hsia been visited by upwards of seventy .patients suffeiing from diseases ot the eye and ear, and some astonishing cures have been effected.; Several of these came under our notice, and being persons well-known in the distriot, and easily aepes3ible to any person wishing to be convinced '9, » !? o£ the assertion, we may mention a few. Mr Huritett, of Cargo, hag been blind forthirteen years, afad having placed himself under Mr Rosen thal s o|re v now cm.d, and. declwej he seen cU.«



_^^ f"» tinctly. A little girl, aged about ten years, named Emma Horsely, had been blind since the age c t twelve months. Her eyes now are qulie cured, an d capable of performing endless execution on the su__ ceptible feelings of the other sex when she gets a little older. A cisc of deafness of twenty yews' standing, declared by the patient to be incurable, was by a skilful operation, cured in 2ve minutes Many residents may remember the case of Mr Livingstone who has sought every available remedy for a discus of the eyes. The last time we saw this gentleman he was led about; yesterday, after being under Mr ' Rosenthal's care for about a fortnight, the change is extraordinary, and predicates a perfect cure. We saw another lady who had been totaUy blind for twenty years, and now sees. It is needless to multiply " cases. We may mention that Mr Rosenthal only remains a day or two longer, and, for the information of up-country readers, may state that under no circumstance wiH he proceed further than Dubbo.— Weslem Examiner. Mr I. S. Rorevtiial.—The gentleman, whose special forte is in the disease of the eye and ear, has been practising in Bourke, and from the notices of the Press which preceded him we expected to find » physician capable of fulfilling the expectation ester. ' tamed. We have not been disappointed. The testi monials and the favourable newspaper notices art all fully borne out—they are truthful. We have otmelves seen three instances where Dr Rosenthal has restored sight to the totally Mind for years,* besides improved vision to many who were suffering from opthalmie diseases of months or two years' standing. We mention, because he is well known throughout ihis district, Mr James Horsfall, whose defective sight has been radically cured. MissFlsgery, of this town, who has suffered from deafness fer years owing to fright from the bite of a dog, had her hearing restored in our presence. A cataract was successfully removed from the eye of a blackfellow in the service of M M. O'Shannessy, Esq, Fort Bourke. Mr Stewart, who has been blind for about sixteen years, can now see almost to read print. A girl named Jones, who had been nearly blind for two years, can now see the smallest object, and plays with other children. A young lady from Woomba, Willcannia, named East ham, totally blind from some complaint, can now see, ' but in every case a sudden id flax of light must he guarded against. The successful treatment at Began dena of Mrs H. J. Adam's eyes is alone sufficient to establish Dr Rosenthal's reputation as an oculist. "We could enumerate twenty instances of persons well known in this town and district whose sight has been removed ; and we think it but a duty on our part to notice the cases which are known to us, and to endorse the public opinion which has been to favourably and deservedly beslowed Mr Bajley, 7 who has had bad eyes for } ears, has been completely | cured, and so have the eyes of Mn Beynolds. He has ; fulfilled every promise made, and effected in every I instance pome very remarkable cures. Dr RofentlM 1 lias also this in his favour—he does not send away I the poor, nor does he exact the least farthing from I tho«e in indigent circumstances. On the contrary, he j could not have had under his gratuitous treatment 7 I fewer than twelve persons ; and to one woman and I three children suflering from almost total blindness, 1 he supplemented his jervices by raising a subscription I to relieve thoir necessities.— Cinlral Australian and 7 I Bourkt Telegraph.
