ity in the visual range OF my eyes, have hereto

From natural defects and the unequal range of
ny eyes, have been compelled to use glasses for
several years. 1 have tried different opticians
without obtaining glasses perfectly ftted to my
eyes. -Four months since Mr. Tobies made two
pairs especially for me, which have found to
serve me perfectly. BY the use Of his optometer
he Is enabled to adapt Glasses infinitely to the eye
l most cheeduty recommend Mr.. Tobias to all
hsvtng occasion TO useglasses, and bear my testi-
aony as to his skill as an optician.
