| Having suffered for many years past with weak
ness of the eyes, and that defect of vision which
| suits from tso constant and intense use Of these
sensitive organs, were led to make trial of To-
bass and improved discovery for the eyes, whose
4 name heads this article. We saw them recommend
1 ed by sundry gentlemen Of Virginia, whom we know,
and therefore had less hesitation in making the
/ 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
nctly with them. Without meaning to disparage 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

| After most careful examination of Mr. j. Tobias's
Glasses, am enabled to testify that their hardness
clearness polishing and exact optical shape, render

merely optical impairment of the eyes in want of
such auxiliaries i 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
state that Mr.. Tobias has supplied some of my pa
/ tients with Glasses TO their and my satisfaction.
