After most careful examination Of Mr. j. Tobias's
Glasses, am enabled to testify that their hardness,
cearness, polishing, and exact optical shape, render
them particularly recominendabe TO those whose
merely optical impairment of the eyes are in want of
such auxlaries. consider, moreover, Mr.. Tobias
fully qualified to determine the focus of the eye both
by his optical knowledge and experience, and by
mea ms Of his optometer. In addition I can further
state that Mr. Tobias has supplied some Of my pa.
tents with Glasses, to their and my satisfaction.
