"T0BIAsCoPIc SPECTACLE LENS.
Having suffered for many years past with weak
of the eyes, and that defect of vision which re-
suits from a too constant and intense use of these
sensitive organs, were led TO make a trial of To-
bass and improved discovery for the eyes, whose
name heads this article. We saw them recommend
ed by sundry gentlemen of Virginia whom we know,
anu therefore 0esltatlOn IN mixing tne eN-
perimort. We are more than pleased with the nrti-
Gle. We read with less fatigue with these lens than
any we had ever tried before; and see more dis
tinctly with them. Without meaning TO dsparage 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
street. opposite the National Intelligencer Office"
WASHINGTON, August 6, 1885.
Having been for years under the necessity of hav-
ing two sets of glasses-one for use in the daylight
and one for lamplight-l procured one set from Mr..
Tobias, which answered both purposes. ] have used
his for several months and find them excellent.

In the experience Of even two years, have found
great difficulty in obtaining Spectacles that
actly adapted 10 the weakness OF my sigis. This in
convenience Mr.. Tobias seems 10 have removed for
the present by the substitution for Of better and
more suitable Glasses. They clear, chrystal-like
and comfortable TO my eyes, would commend him

artificial aid in this way. J. J. SIMKINS, NJ. ID.
