.ToBIAsCopIc SPECTACLE LENS
Having suffered for many years past with weak
Of the eyes, and that defect Of vision which re-
suits from too constant and intense use Of these
sensitive organs we were led to make trial of To-
bass new and improved discovery for the eyes whose
name heads this article We saw them recommend
ed by sundry gentlemen of Virginia, whom we know,
and therefore had less hesitation in making the ex-
pertinent. We are more than pleased with the arti-
Gle. We read with less atigue with these lens than
any we had ever tried before and we see more dis
tincy 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 Intelligencer Office"
| WASHINGTON. August g. 1855.
Having been for years under the necessity Of hav-
ing two sets Of glasses for use in the daylight,
Tobias, which answered both purposes have used
his for several months, and find them excellent.

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

such auxiliaries. / consider, moreover Mr.. Tobias
fully qualified 70 determine the focus Of the eye both

In the experience Of even two years, have found
great difficulty in obtaining Spectaces that ex-
convenience Mr.. Tobias seems TO have removed for
the present by the substitution for me Of better and
more suitable Glasses. They clear, chrysta-ke,
and d comfortable TO my eyes wonlu commend him
to those who, from age or other ipfrmty, require
artificial aid in this way. J. J. SIMKINS,M b.
