without obtaining glasses perfectly ftted TO my
eyes. -Four months since Mr.. Tobias made two
pairs especially for me, which have found to
serve me perfectly. BY the use Of his optometer

l most cheerfutly recommend Mr.. Tobias to all
having occasion to slasses, and bear my testi-
ZSony as 70 his skill as an optician.
