Sewing Machines. TAYLOR'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 Look-stitch by means of a shuttle working In an Eli.ipt:c "Dirfci ton in such a position that it is readily accessible, arrt where its achon can be easily seen. This is acknowledged on all hands to be the moat, beautiful and noiseless Shutt'c movement, ever Invented. 1 These Machines have obtained distinction at all the more recent competitions, and have been awarded FIVE ritJZK MEDALS.

BRITANNIA COMPANY, COLCHESTER, ENGLAND, combine the. best parts of the best Machines (avoiding their defects) with some bkotski st-koiAX improve ments, which no other Machine possesses. . Every make of Machine, however far'removed from excellence, professes to be better than any other The task of selecting a Sewing Machine is therefore rather a difficult ore, 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 roan and an Engineer allow mo to point out some of the advantages of these Machines. They will do all that any other Machine will, and do it better, including Hemming, Quilting, Felling, Cording, Binding. Braiding. Stitching, &c, &c., with a perfect stitch alike on both sides. They are fitted with an ismtOVRD break, which prevents the Machine turning the wrong way, and so entangling and breaking the thread. They make Jess noise than most Machines, and is the nearest possible . approach to noiseless. They are. very simple, and ■ will run for years without costing a shilling fnr 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.

You are aware that in the first place I only saw you with a friend 1 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 wa3, 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.

Rosenthal.— This celebrated oculist and aurist arrived in Dubbo from Oranße 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 puts 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 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 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, ii 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 hadtto shout in her ear to be heard ; she was also, j indeed, we may say totally, blind, when she came to Mr RoEenthal. -.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 ispcifectly well. Mrs Wilds, of Gradgery, Merri Merri, was very duaf - 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 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 efur was nearly stopped. Yesterday he underwent jan operationperformed 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 havo no hesitation in 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 tqdoit. If it is impossible to do so he will not i"»°y. h\ s Patient with false hopes—an admirable trhit in his character.— Dubbo Dispatch. \ .ORiNQK. Thursday Evening.—Mr W. Evans, C.P.S to; tho Duhho Dispatch:— "For the benefit of sub scribers please state that Mr Rosenthal cured my deafness of some year!.' standing." Mb. I. S. Rosenthax.— Since this gentleman's arrival in Orange he has been visited by upwards of seventy patients suffering from diseases ot the eye and ear, and some astonishing cures have been effected. Several of these came under our notice, an;d being persons well-known in the district, and eajily accessible to any person wishing to be convinced of (the truth of the assertion, we may mention a few. Mf Hurkett, of Cargo, has been blind for thirteen years, and having placed himself under Mr Rosen thals care it now;cured, and deolareg he sees %.



———— m^—^^»q^^—aggt Medical. - <? tinctly. A little girl, aged about ten years, named 'i Emma Horsely, had been blind since the ago C f twelve months. Her eyes now are quite cureil, and capable of performing endless execution on the mg. ceptible feelings of the other sex when she gets a little older. A c»se of deafness of twenty years' standing, declared by the patient to be incurable, wa» ■-$' by a skilful operation, cured in five minutes. Many residents may remember the case of Mr Livingstone who has sought every available remedy for a diseasa of the eyes. The last time we saw this gentleman h» >£$■: was led about; yesterday, after being under Mi Bosenthal's care for about a fortnight, the change 1» 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 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 will he proceed further than Dubbo — Western Examiner. , ~ | Mr I. S. Rohenthal. —The gentleman, whose special forte is in the disease of the eye and ear, li M j been practising in Bourke, and from the notices of the Press which preceded him we expected to find a physician capable of fulfilling the expectation enter, tamed. We have not been disappointed. Thetesti. it monials and the favourable newspaper notices are all fully borne out—they are truthful. We have ourselves 1 seen three instances where Dx Eosonthal has restored m sight to the totally Mind foi years,'besides improved vision to many who were suffering from opthairalc 1 diseases of months or two -years' standing. We mention, because he is well known throughout,thlg district, Mr James Horsfall, whose defective sight has been radically curfd. MissFlagery, of this town, who 1 has suffered from deafness for 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 Eourke. Mr Stewart; who $ has been blind for about sixteen, years, cannowsee almost to rewl print. A girl named Jones, who had -I been nearly blind for two years, can now see tho smallest object, and plays with other children: A young lady from Woomba, Willcannia, named East bam, totally blind from some complaint, can nowisee, I but in every case a sudden influx of light mast be guarded against. Th« successful treatment at Bogan. dona of Mrs H. J. Adnm's eyes is alone sufficient to establish Dr Rosen thal's reputation as an oculist, jWe could enumerate twenty instances of persons f well known in this town and district whose sight bag been removed ; and we think it but a duty on our ' part to notice tho cases which are known to us, and to endorse the public opinion which has been so | favourably and deservedly bestowed Mt Eayley, who has had bad eyes for years, has been completely cured, and so have the cyps of Mrs Ecynolds. He haa fulfilled every promise made, and effected in every instance some very remarkable cures. Dr Eosonthal lias also this in Ids favour—he does not send away the poor, nor does ho exact tfce least farthing from ';•'.'; thofe in indigent circumstances. On the contrary, he i could not have had under his gratuitous treatment fewer than twelve persons ; and to one woman and three children suffering from almost total' blindness, he supplemented his services by raising a subsdiptlon to relieve their necessities.— Central Australia/I ani Bourke Telegraph, December 11,1872 ; | N.B-—Many hundreds of testimonials, all in a like strain, can bo seen at Mr Bcsentb^ls consnltjnf> jj rooms.
