ness 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-
biass new and improved discovery for the eyes whose
name heads this article. We saw them recommend

and therefore had less hesitation In making the ex-
pertinent. We are more than pleased with the arti-

tinctly with them. Without meaning to dsparage the
claims of others, who have made improvements in
Spectacle Lens, we deem it but just to make the
