that the Spectacles which obtained from you last
week are entirely satisfactory. From an Unequal
ity in the visual range Of my eyes, have hereto

state that, by the aid Of your optometer this di-
Guilty has been happily obviated so that the glasses
you furnished me are decidedly the best adapted

ny eyes, have been compelled to use glasses for
several years. / have tried different opticians
without obtaining glasses perfectly fitted to nv
eyes. -Four months since Mr.. Tobias made two
pairs especially for me, which have found 70
serve me perfectly. BY the use Of bis optouister
he is enabled to adapt Glasses infinitely to the eve
/ most cheerfutly recommend Mr.. Tobias to all
having occasion TO eglasses, and bear nv test.
Mony as to his skill as an optician.
