_BS " , g ev _flg Machines. TAYLOR'S PATENT LOCK STITCH SEWING MACHINES Are, with confidence, recommended to the public not only as containing Impobtaxt Tmtoovements, 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 Shutt'e movement ever invented. These Machines have obtained distinction at all the more recent competitions, and have been awarded) FIVE PRIZE MEDALS.ST'"«J?s.?_3£ pS§^%i«£ Agent :— _ T HgfSgJg ""-'/" T.

BY TTITS 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 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 orse 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 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 break, 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 noarest 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. HESLOP. ENGINEER, Thj; FiTTiyq Shop, Vulcan Lane. Q.EEATEST OWFULfSIUMFM. VIENNA UNIVERSAL EXHIBITION.

My eyes are getting on nicely now; and Mrs Free bairn's are getting strong. St. Luke's, July 28,1873. 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 tnded in total deafness. 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 was, and prepared me for the extraction of the same. It is for this I beg most sincerely to thank you. and subsoribe: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. 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 MULLER. Witness—F. Badman. Lobethal, August 15,1873:'' OPINIONS OF TEE 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. 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 nowthoroughlv 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, U 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 eve improving daily. The left eye is perfectly well. Mrs Wilds, of Oradgery, 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 Rosenthal, Now she can see perfectly well out of one eye, and the other, though rather weak ]ust 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 peifectly 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 sue 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 ;i 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 the face'of these facts— which we can vouch for ourselves—lmpossible to question the Doctor's great .skill. We have no hesitation in'advising 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.— Duhbo Dispatch. Okange, Thursday Evening.— Mr W.Evans CPS to, the Dubho Dispatch:—"Far the benefit'of sub sonbers please state that Mr Rosenthal rared my 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 stiffering from diseases ot the eye ■.and ear, and some astonishing euros 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 convkiced ft", 0 the assertion, we may mention a few Mr Hurkett,|.of Cargo, has been blind for thirteen years, and hiving placed himself under Mr Rosen, thai s care ia now cured, and declares he sees dis-



Medical. tinctly. A littlo girl, nged about ten years nr' "' Emma Uorsely. had been blind since the' jifci twelvemonths. Her eyes now are quite iraj^'f" capable of performing endless execution on ft*/■ ceptible feelings of the othor sex when %.\. X ' ; little older. A case of deafness of twenty vcf* ;/: standing, declared by the patient to be incur.bV *'s ■" by a skilful operation, cured in five minuti ■ \i v residents may remember the case of Mr Li,u. s - ■? who has sought every available remedy for a disw 5 I of the eyes. The last time we saw this gentleman h i was led about; yesterday, after being under w I Rosenthal's care for about a fortnight, the chanc.i extraordinary, and predicates a perfect cure. "WW1 ' another lady who had been totally blind for W H years, and now sees. It is needless to nvalliSl cases. We may mention that Mr Rosenthal o£v ; remains a day or two longer, and, for the informatin of up-country readers, may state that underT circumstance will he proceed further than Dubw 0 Western Ewaminer. '" Mr I. S. Kosektiiai..—The gentleman",! 'MzSm special forte is in the disease of the eye and ear h been practising in Bourke, and from the notices of tV Press which preceded him we expected to find' • physician capable of fulfilling the expectation mt» tamed. "We have not been disappointed. Ti le t 'TV monials and the favourable newspaper notices are«li fully borne out—they are truthful. We have ourseW '■'*■ seen three instances where Dr Rosenthal has restored sight to the totally Mind for years,; besides improve : vision to many who were suffering from opthahj, diseases of months or two years' standing. '% m mention, because he is well known throughout thi! district, Mr James Horsfa.ll, whose defective sighiif been radically cured. MissFlagery, of this town, »l I has suffered from deafness for years owing to fnVlt from the bite of a deg, had her hearing restored H I our presence. A cataract was successfully Ternoved from the eye of a blackfellow in the service of ij <": M, O'Shannessy, Esq. l'ort Bourke. Air Stewart, »]» §i lias been blind for about sixteen years, can now s« almost to reud print. A girl named Jone?. who h>l been nearly blind for two years, can now see \U ! smallest object, and plays with other children. » W young lady from Woomba, Willcannia, named Bait, I ham, totally blind from some complaint, can now set but in every case a sudden influx of light must*k> guarded against. Th 9 successful treatment at Bogau. I dena of Mrs H. J. Adam's eyes is alone sufficient to I establish Dr Rosenthal's reputation as an oculistW( L: could enumerate twenty instances of porsouj well known in this town and district whose Bight la I been removed ; and we think it but a duty on on W part to notice the case 3 which are known to v?, aj p to endorse the public opinion which bas been so favourably and deservedly bestowed. Mr Bajl» ft who has had bad eyes for yearn, has been complete)! ' cured, and so have the eyes of Mra Reynolds, fleliu H fulfilled every promise made, and effected .In; evert f instance some very remarkable cures. Dr Eosentifl '' ' has also this in his favour—he does not Fend airjj [ : the poor, nor does he exact the least farthing froa : those in indigent circumstances. On the contrary, fc{ I could not have had under his gratuitous treatment • fewer than twelve persons ; and to one woman and three children suflering from almost total blindnea if he supplemented his services by raising a subscription ! to relieve thoir necessities.— Central Audralianani ?*> Bourke Telegraph, December 14, 1572.
