that the Spectacles which obtained from you last
week are entirely satisfactory. From an Unequal
ity in the visual range Of my eyes, l have heseto-
fore found great difficulty in getting glasses of the
state that, by the aid Of your optometer, this diff
Guilty has been happily Obviated that the glasses
you furnished me are decidedly the best adapted
70 my eyes Of any have ever yet used.
Very respectfully, yours,

From natural defects and the unequal range of
my eyes, / have been compelled to use glasses for
several years. | have tried different opicians
without obtaining glasses perfectly fitted 10 my
eyes. Four months since Mr.. Tobias made two
pairs especially for me, which have found TO
serve me perfectly. BY the use o. his optometeT
he is enabled to adapt Glasses minutely to the eye
| most cheerfuuy recommend Mr.: Tobias to all
having occasion to use glasses, and bear my tes,i
mony as TO his skill as an optician.
