Sewing Machines. TAYLOE'S PATENT LOOK STITCH SEWING MACHINES Are, with confidence, recommended to the public not only as containing Important Improvements, but also as being constructed throughout in the most Substantial manner possible. They make the Lock-stitch by means of a shuttle working in an Elliptic Direction in such a position that it is readily accessible, ard where its action can be easily seen. This is acknowledged on all hands to be the most beautifuland noiseless Shuttle movement ever invented. These Machines have obtained distinction at all the Baore recent competitions, and have been awarded FIVE PRIZE MEDALS. , Agent :— T. PEACOCK, OPTICIAN, QTTBBN STREET. NEAB THTB BANK OP Ne"W ZEALAND SEWING- MACHINE S MADE EV THE BRITANNIA COMPANY, COLCHESTER, ENGLAND, combine the best parts of the best Machines (avoiding their defects) with some recent special improve ments, which no other Machine possesses. Every make of Machine, however farlremoved 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. As a practical man and an Engineer allow me to point out some of the advantages of these Machines. They will do all that any other Machine will, and do it tetter, including Hemming, Quilting, Felling, Cording, Binding, Braiding. Stitching, &c, &c., v/ith a perfect stitch alike on both sides. Thoy are fitted with an improved break., which previ. Nts the Machine turning the wrong way, and so entangling and breaking the thread. They make less noise than most Machines, and 13 the nearest possible approach to noiseless. They are very simple, and will run for years without costing a shilling for repairs. Every Machine is Warranted. Machines let out on hire, the payment for which goes towards the purchase. Machines of other makers taken in ex change Repairs properly done.

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 iriend 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. Dew 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 MULLEB. Witness—F. Badman. Lobethal, August 15,1873. OPINIONS OF THE PRESS. Mr I. S. Ko3enthal.—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 Eoyal 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 conseqiiences 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 no\v:thoroughly convinced. Yesterday we saw three of his patients, picked, we may say, promiscuously, from a number tinder 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, i,f 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 ™^ oving daily- The left eve is Perfectly well. Mrs Wilds, of Gradgery, Merri Merri, was very deaf—a person hadtto shout in her ear to be heard ; Bhe was also,S 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 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 e/es 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 iniadvising 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. If it is impossible to do so he will not buoy his patient with false hopes—an admirable trait m his character.— Dubbo Dispatch. Orange, Thursday Evening,—Mr W.Evans CP S to the Dubbo Dispatch:— "For the benefit'of sub' scribers please state that Mr Rosenthal cured mv deafness of some years standing." Ma I. S. Rosenthal.—Since this gentleman's arrival m Orange he has been visited by upwards of seventy patients suffering from diseases ot the eye as d ief' c? ntl S, ome astonishing cures have been effected. Several of these came under our noticp and being persons well-known in the district, and easily accessible to any person wishing to be convinced of the truth of the assertion, we may mention a few Mr Hurkett, of Cargo, has been blind for thirteen years, and having placed himself under Mr JKosen thal s care is now cured, and declares he sees dis-



Medical. |/ tinctly. A little girl, aged about teu years nanwTA. Emma Horsely, had been blind since the' are ' ' twelvemonths. Her eyes now are quite cured »nY ' ' capable of performing endless execution on the sn« ceptible feelings of the other sex when she gets little older. A case of deafness of twenty yej t 3 standing, declared by the patient to be incurable w», " by a skilful operation, cured in five minutes. Mm» residents may remember the case of Mr Livingston who has sought every available remedy fur a diseu of the eyes. The last time we saw this gentleman h ' was led about; yesterday, after being under M» Eosenthal's care for about a fortnight, the chan"ei! extraordinary, and predicates a perfect cure. 'We'saw another lady who had been totally blind for twenty years, and now sees. It is needless to multip). cases. We may mention that Mr Rosenthal only remains a day or two longer, and, for the informatloa of up-country readers, may state that under no circumstance will he proceed further than Dtibbo.- Western Examiner. Mr I. S. Rosentjial.— The ge»tl«nan, W ] los j , special forte is in the disease of the eye »nd tar, t M " been practising in Bourke, and from the notices of th» Press which preceded him we expected to find t physician capable of fulfilling the expectation entw tamed. "We have not been disappointed. Th« ttiti! monials and the favourable newspaper noticas are all fully borne out—they are truthful. We have oum«ly m seen three instances where Dr Rosenthal hu r«sto«4 sight to the totally Mind fot years,* beside* htproved vision to many who were suffering from opthalmic diseases of months or two year*' standing, ty, mention, because he is well known throughout tils district, Mr James Horsfall, whose defective sight has been radically cured. Miss Flsgery, ol thhtown, wW, has suffered from deafness for years owing to frijU from the bite of a dee, had her hearing restored in our presence. A cataract was successfully ttnoYti from the eye of a blackfellow in tb« service of M M. O'Shannessy, Esq. Fort Bourke. Mr Stewart, whj ;„-,■• has been blind for about sixteen years, can now sm almost to reud print. A girl named Joneg, wko h»4 1 been nearly blind for two years, oan now sse u^ 1 smallest object, and playx with other children, i young lady from Woomba, Willcannia, named Eaji. ham. totally blind from some complaint, can now«« 1 but in every case a sudden influx of light must bs 1 guarded against. The successful treatment at Bojm. dena of Mrs H. J. Adam's eyes is alone sufficient to establish Dr Bostnthal's reputation as an oculist. Ye ' could enumerate twenty instance* of persom well known in this town and district whose sight ha been removed ; and we think it but & duty on oai ;■ part to notice the cases which are known to us, and to endorse the public opinion which has been to favourably and deservedly bestowed. Mr Bayley I who has had bad eyes for years, has been compleUlj cured, and so have the eyes of Mr? Reynolds. Hehai < fulfilled every promiso made, and effected in ever/ instance some very remarkable cures. Dr EoMnthil * has also this in his favour—he does not send w»y ■ the poor, nor does he exact the least farthing from those in indigent circumstances. On the contrary, he l could not have had under hi? gratuitous treatttjnt \ fewer than twelve persons ; and to one wosn&n anj thl'ee children suflering from almost total blindnen, he s upplementsd his services by raising a subscription to relieve their necessities.— Central Avtlralian and Bourke Telegraph, December 14,1572.
