ness Of the eyes, and that defect Of vision which
suits from too constant and intense use of these
sensitive organs, we were led to make trial of To-
bass and improved discovery for the eyes, whose
name heads this article We saw them recommend

After most careful examination 81 Mr. j. Tobias's
Glasses, am enabled to testify that their hardness
cearness, polishing, and exact optical shape render
them particularly recommendable TO those whose
merely optical impairment Of the eyes are In want of
such auxiliaries. / consider, moreover, Mr. Tobias
fully qualified to determine the focus Of the eye both
by his optical knowledge and experience, and by
means Of his optometer. In addition, can further
tients with Glasses, to their and my satisfaction.
