Sewing Machines. I TATLOE'S PATENT LOOK STITCH SEWING MACHINES Are, with confidence, recommended to the public not only as containing Important Jmiuiovkmknts, but also as being constructed throughout in the most substantial manner possible. They make the Lock-stitch by menus of a shuttle working in an Elliptic Dijucction 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 beautiful and noiseless Shutt'e movement ; ever invented. These Machines have obtained distinction at all the j more recent competitions, and have been awarded VIVE PRIZE MEDALS. I Agent :— T.

Every make of Machine, however fnr'removed from I excellence, professes to be better than any other. The tusk of selecting a Sewing Machine is therefore rather a riift'cult 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 froir using a Machine for needlework do not yet possess one because among so many they are unable to satisfy themselves us to which make is the best. As h practical man and an Engineer allow mo to point out some of the advantages of these Machines. Tliev will do nil 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. Thoy are fitted with an jmi-rovkh btvkak, which prevents the Machine tnrninp the wrong way, and so entangling and breaking the thread.

Rosenthal.—This celebrated oculist and ' au'rist arrived in Dubbo from Orange on Friday last, i 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, Castlereagh, and Macquarie. And, as far .as an unprofessional person can judge, we can say—and say it boldly—that Mx Rosenthal has effected some wonderful cures. We determined to inqnire 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 arid 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 i-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 Gradgeryv Merri Herri, was very deaf—a person had(to shout in her ear to be heard ; sha was ; also.i indeed, we may say totally, blind, when she , came to Mr Rosenthal. Now she can see perfectly well out of one eye. and tho 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 te 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 ear was nearly stopped. Yesterday he underweßt 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,adyising 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 f his patient with false hopes—an admirable ~trait in his character.— Dubbo Dispatch. ;orange, ThursdayKvening,— MrW.

Medical. . 1 , t .*«—~-^^^\+jyi|jf| Mr I. S. llosenthal.—Since *t>iiß gentleinaji arrival in Orange he has been visited by upward* of I seventy patients suffering from diseases of the eye §fi and ear, and some astonishing cures have been * effected. Several of these came under our notice and being persons well-known in the district, and \i ■ easily accessible to any person wishiDg 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 Boson- . |U thal's care is now cured, and doclaros he sees dls- ' tinctly. A little girl, aged about ten years, named ' Emma Horsely, had been blind since the ag« O f • • twelve montlis. Her eyes row are quite cured, a»a capable of performing endless execution on the sns. /' ceptible feelings of the other sex when she gets a •■'■■'■& -'• little older. A c-ise of deafness of twenty y CWs ' . '„ standing, declared by the patient to be incurable, was by a skilful operation, cured in five minutes. Many ;; residents may remember the case of Mr Livingstone if who lias sought every available remedy far a disease 3ft of the eyes. The last time we saw this gentleman h« was led about; yesterday, after being under Mr »15 Rosenthal's care for about a fortnight, the change is " extraordinary, and predicates a perfect cure. We saw another lady who had beep 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 Dnßbo.— Western Emminer. ; ::: gf|fß| Mr I S. RosKNTiiAL.— The gentleman, whose Vt>' special forte is in the disease of the eye and ear, has I been practising in Boorke, and from the notices of the i Press which preceded him we expected to find a :[ 1 phy&ician capable of fulfilling the expectation enter- \ tamed. We have not been disappointed. The testl- ~ V: mnnials and the favourable newspaper notices are al! fully borne out—they are truthful. We have ourselves ; seen three instances where Dr Kosenthal has restored 1 ! sight to the totally Mind foi years,; besides improved I vision to many who were suffering from opthalmic ! diseases of months or two years' standing. W e :;■ M mention, because he is well known throughout this V district, Mr James Florsfall, whose defective, sight hag been radically cured. Miss Flagery, of this town, who t has suffered from deafness for yean 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 blackfollow in tbe service of M. 2: 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 Best- ' ham, totally blind from some complaint, can now gee, I; but in every case a sudden influx of, light must be 1 guarded against. The .successful treatment at Bogan dena of Mrs H: J. Adam's eyes )s alone sufficient to I establish Dr Rosenthal's reputation as an oculist. We 3 I could enumerate twenty instances of persons well known in this town and district whose sight has i been removed ; and we think it but a duty on our .'.,■ ;: part to notice the cases which are known tons, and 3; to endorse the public opinion which has been to favourably and • dtservedlv bestowed. Mr Bayley, • who has had bad eyes for yeans, has been completely cured, and so have the eyes of Mr*, Reynolds. Fe has fulfilled every promise made, and effected in every instance some very remarkablo cures. Dr Eorenthil BE has also this in his favour—he does not send away ■' ft; the poor, nor does he exact tbe least farthing from tho«e in indigent circumstances. On the contrary, he " "' could not have had under his gratuitous treatment 'M fewer than twelve persons; and to one woman «n4i.:.|5 three children suflering from almost total blindness,, he supplemented bis services by raising a subscription to relieve their necessities. — Central Australian and T Bourke Telegraph, Tecember 14,1872 N.B'— Many hundreds of testimonials, all in a like ■&!■ strain, can be seen at Mr Bosenthals consulting i rooms. *:'■'. i Kerosene. rpHE CHEAP HABDWABE HOUSE.
