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 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. 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, <J 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 Merrl, was very deaf—a person had'oto shout in her ear to be heard j she was also,j indeed, we may say totally, blind, when she came to Mr Eosenthal. Now she ican 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 Merrj, when he placed himself under the Doctor, could not see at all well, and had a cataract on the right eye. The cataract ia disappearing, and the sight of the eye improving daily. The left eye is peifectly well. Mrs Wilds, of Gradgery, Merri Merrl, was very deaf — a person had to shout, in her ear to Le 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 Kad 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 underwent an operation performed by Dr Rosenthal. and, after' a lapse of seven minutes, the ear regained all its normal properties. It is, in tho face of these facts— which we can vouch for ourselves—impossible to question tho Doctor's great skill. We have no hesitation in advising all suffering from diseases of thea ye and ear to pay him a visit, for we are con vincedt hati fa cure can be effected he is the man todoit_ Ifi t is impossible to do so he will not buoy h is patient with fulse hones—an admirable tialt in hu charade*.— Dubbo DUpciUh.

Medical. Ma I. 8. Eobenthai,.—Since this gratlc.*>VL arrival in Orange he has heen visited by upw^aTh seventy patients suffering from diseases oftiie &M and ear, and some astonishing cures .have beet effected. Several of these came under our notice. :i and being persons well-known in the district, anjfs easily accessible to any person wishing to be convinced A 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 Eosen. thal's care is now cured, and declares he sees dis tinctly. A little girl, aged about ten years, mun^S; Emma Horsely, bad been bund since the age of ' twelve months. Her eyes now are quite cured, and" capable of performing endless execution on the sag. ceptible feelings of the other sex when she geti» little older. A case of deafness of twenty yentf standing, declared by the patient to be incurable, was • by a skilful operation, cured in five minutes. MsW: residents may remember the case of Mr Llvinjtetone, who has sought every available remedy for a diseajs of the eyes. The last time we saw this gentleman H» was led about; yesterday, after being under Mr Rosenthal's care for about a fortnight, the change it extraordinary, and pi-eciicates a perfect cure; We aw 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 slate that under no circumstance will he proceed further than Dubbo,: Western Examiner. Mr I. S. Kosektjtal.— The gentlemaD, wlofcV special forte is in the disease of the eye and ear, hia' '*' been practising in Boiirke, and from the notices of the ■ Press which preceded him we expected to find'« physician capable of fulfilling the expectation enter- '"■ tamed. We have not been disappointed. The testt- : monials and the favourable newspaper notices artall fully borne out—they are truthful. We have punefe; seen three instances where Dr Eosenthal lias restored sight to the totally Mind foi years, besides improved vision to many who were suffering from opthalniic I diseases of months or two years' standing. i , ; p\y e :^ mention, because he is well known throughout IM» district, Mr James Horrfall, whose defective sight hw I been radically cured. MissFlagery, of this town, who . hasjsnffered 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 K. M. O'Shannessy, Esq. Fort Bourke. Mr Stewart, who has been blind for about sixteen years, cannow«e« almost to reud print. A girl named Jones, who had : been nearly blind for two years, can now see :th» I smallest object, and plays with other children. A. young lady from Woomba, Willcannia, named E>it>*i' ham, totally blind from some complaint, can now see, but in every case a sudden influx of light must b»r guarded against. The successful treatment at Bogao dena of Mrs 11. J. Adam's eyes is alone sufficient to establish Dr Bosenthal's reputation as an oculist.-^e:! could enumerate twenty instances of persons: well known in this town and district whose sight bit been removed ; and we think it but a duty on'pur part to notice the cases which are known toug,ind - to endorse the public opinion which has been to favourably and descrvedlv bestowed. Mr Bajley, who has had bad eyes for years, has been completely cured, and so have the eyes of Mrs Eeynolds. He his fulfilled every promise made, and effected in every instance some very remarkable cures. Dr Rosenthkl: has also this in his favour—he does not send aw»"r, 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 fewer than twelve persons; and to one woman and three children suffering from almost total blindneis, he supplemented his services by raising a subscription to relieve their necessities. — Central AuefaalumimA Bourke Telegraph, December 14,1872.
