Sewing Machines. <dSllllll^.l? TAYLOR'S PATENT LOOK STITCH SEWING MACHINES Are, With confidence, recommended to the public not only as containing Isiportant Improvements, but also as being constructed throughout in the most substantial manner possible. They make tho 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 more recent competitions, and have been awarded FIVE PRIZE MEDALS. , Agent :— T. PEACOCK, OPTICIAN, QOKEN STREET, NEAR THU BANK OF NEW ZEALAND S}E"WINQ- MACHINES MADE BY 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 farjremoved from axcellence, 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 mo 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. Asa practical man 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 improved bp.eak, which prevents the Machine turning the wrong way, and so entangling and breaking the thread. They make less 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 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. Needles for various Machines, Oil, Cotton, and Extras. G. W. HE.SL OP, ENGINEER, The Fjttin-q Shop, Vulcan Lane. Q.REATEST OEALLTRIUMPHS. VIENNA UNIVERSAL EXHIBITION.

You are aware that in the first place I only saw you with a iriend 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 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. Dear Sir,—l am truly happy to inform you that I have quite recovered my hearing. AVhen I came to you I was almost deaf for the last two years. AVish ing you every happiness, I remain, dear Sir, Yours ever gratefully, FR. AUGUST MULLER. AVitness—F. Badman. Lobethal, August 15, 1573. 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 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. AYe 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 nowthoroughly I 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 Sirs AVhite, 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, of Merl 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 AVilds, of Gradgery, Merri Merri, was very deaf—a person hadLto shout in her ear to be heard ; she was also,j 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 weU 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 peifectly well. Mrs AVilds, 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 eyes, through being under treatment, a good deal inflamed. Mr D. M'Killop, J.P., of Terra Bella, had every, symptom of approaching deafuess—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. AYe 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 in his character.— Dubbo Dispatch. " Orange, Thursday Evening,—Mr AY. Evans, C.P.S., to the Dubbo Dispatch :—" For the benefit of sub scribers please state that Mr Rosenthal cured my deaflness of some years' standing." M'.t I. S. Rosenthal.—Since this gentleman's arrival in Orange he has been visited by upwards of seventy patients suffering from diseases ol the eye and ear, j and some astonishing cures have been effected. Several of these came under our notice 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 meation a few ,Mr Hurkett, of Cargo, has been blind for thirteen j years, and having placed himself under Mr Rosen thal's care is now cured, an 4 declares he sees d»s-



Medical. i tinctly. A little girl, aged about ten years nam I i Emma Horsely, had been blind since the age i* twelvemonths. Her eyes now arc quite cured ai ;l y capable of performing endless execution on the sii ceptiblc feelings of the other sex when she g e t, little older. A case of deafness of twenty year? standing, declared by the patient to be incurable, w a » by a skilful operation, cured in five minutes. Man residents may remember the case of Mr LivinpstonJ who has sought every available remedy far a diseas* of the nycs. The last time we saw this gentleman U was led about; yesterday, after being under Mj Rosenthal's care for about a fortnight, the changeft extraordinary, and predicates a perfect cure. AVesawV another lady who had been totally blind for twenty! years, and now sees. It is needless to multiply cases. AYe 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. Rosenthal.—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 ____<__ a physician capable of fulfilling the expectation enter, tamed. AYe have not been disappointed. The testi" monials and the favourable newspaper notices are all fully borne out—they are truthful. AYe have ourselves seen three instances where Dr Rosenthal has restored sight to the totally blind foi years," besides improved vision to many who were suffering from opthalmic diseases of months or two years' standing. "\y e mention, because he is well known throughout this district, Mr James Horsfall, whose defective sight hag been radically cured. MissFlagery, of this town, who 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 tbe service of __{_ M, O'Shannessy, Esq, Fort Bourke. Mr Stewart, who' has been blind for about sixteen years, can now see almost to re«d print. A girl named Jonos, who had been nearly blind for two years, can now see the smallest object, and plays with other children. t_ young lady from Woomba, Willcannia, named East ham, totally blind from some complaint, can now see, but in every case a sudden influx of light must be guarded against. The successful treatment at Eogan dena of Mrs 11. 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 so favourably and deservedly bestowed Mr B&yley, who has had bad eyes for years, has been completely cured, and so have"the eyes of Mrs Reynolds. Re has fulfilled every promise made, and effected in every instance some very remarkable cures. Dr Rosenthal has also this in his favour—he does not send away the poor, nor does he exact the least farthing from the»e in ir.digent circumstances. On the contrary, he could net have had under his gratuitous treatment fewer than twelve persons ; and to one woman and three children suflericg from almost total blindness, he supplemented bis services by raising a subscription to relieve their necessities. — Central Australian and Bourke Telajruph, December 14, 1572 N.B-— Many hundreds of testimonials, all in a like strain, can be seen at Mr Bcsenthals consulting rooms.
