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

In The experience of even two years. have found
great difficulty in obtaining Specaces that were ex-

About Ave years ago, obtained from Mr.. Tobias,
in Washington, pair of Glasses for the Spectaeles
which used, and found them of great assistance TO
my decaying vision and my opinion of him is, that
