W aToBIAsCoPIc SPECTACLE LENS
Having suffered for many years past with weak
of the eyes, and that defect of vision which re-
suits from t~o constant and intense nsc Of these
sensitive organs, 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-
cle We read with less fatigue with these lens than
any we had ever tried before and we SEQ more dis
tnctly with them. Without meaning todisparage the
claims Of others, who have made improvements in
Spectacle Lens, we deem IL but just to make the
above statement. Mr., Tobias resides on Seventh
street opposite the National Intelligencer Office

Having been for years under the necessity OF bav-
ing two sets of glusses-one for use in the daylight
and one for amplight--I procured one set from Mr..

In the experience Of even two years. / have found
great difficulty IN obtaining Spectncles that were ex-
