Having suffered for many years past with weak
ness of the eyes, and that defect of vision which
suits from tao constant and intense use Of these
sensitive organs, were led to make trial of To-
biass and improved discovery for the eyes, whose
name heads this article. We saw them recommend
and therefore had less hesitation in making the ex
pertinent. We are more than pleased with the arti-
Gle. We read with less fatigue with these lens than
any we had ever tried before; and see more dis
tincty with them Without meaning to disparage the
claims of others, who have made improvements in
Spectacle Lens, we deem it but just to make the
above statement. Mr. Tobias resides on Seventh
street. opposite the National lntelligencer office

After most careful examination OF Mr. J. Tobias's
Glasses enabled TO testify that their hardness,
clearness, polishing, and exact optical shape render
them particularly recommendable 10 those whose

In the experience Of even two years, j have found
great difficulty in obtaining Spectacles that ex-

About five years ago, obtained from Mr.. Tobias,
in Washington pair Of Glasses for the Spectacles
which used and found them Of great assistance to
my decaying vision; and my opinion Of him is, that
he is skilful in the preparation of Glasses for eyes
not too far gone to be benefited by such aid.
