Mr.. j. TOBIAS Dear Sir-I am happy to saw
that the Spectacles which obtained from you last
week are entirely satisfactory. From an inequal-
lty In the visual range Of my eyes, have hereto
lore found great dirculty in getting glasses Of the
state that by the aid of your opometer, this dim
Guilty has been happily obviated that the glasses
you furnished me are decidedly the best adapted

Very respectfully, y e nk.Nr

From natural defects and the unequal range Of
ny eyes, have been compelled to use glasses for
several years. | have tried different opticians
without obtaining glasses perfectly fitted to nv
eyes. -Four months since Mr Tobias made TWO
pairs especially for me, which have found to
serve me perfectly. BY the use Of his optometer
he is enabled to adapt Glasses infinitely to the eye
l most chee1utly recommend Mr.. Tobias to all
having occasion to use glasses, and bear nv test.
Hony as to his skin as an optician.
