Having suffered for many years past with weak
ness of the eyes, and that defect Of vision which re-
suits from tao constant and intense use of these
sensitive organs, we were led to make trial To
bass new and improved discovery for tho 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 fatigue With these lens than
any we had ever tried before; and we see more dis
tincty with them Without meaning to dsparage the
claims of others, who have made improvements in
Spectacle Lens, deem il but Just to make the
above statement Mr. Tobias resides on Seventh

| In the experience of even two years, have found
great difficulty in obtaining Specaces that were ex-
actly adapted 10 the weakness of my sight This in
convenience Mr.. Tobias seems 10 have removed for
the present by the substitution for of better and
more suitable Glasses. They are clear chrysta-ke,
| and comfortable 70 my eyes. Iwould commend him
70 those who from. age or other in6rmity require
artificial aid in this way. J. j. S1AiKINS, M. d..
