selected to his superio Spectaces and Glasses
fully ground by himself to true spherical accuracy,
and brilliant transparency, suited precisely and ben
eiciay to the wearer according to the concayity
convexity OF tho eye. Very numerous are the Ill
ELECTS caused to the precious organs OF sight from
the commencement of using glasses in not being pre-
cisely suited, by the use OF an OptOmeter; ana the
,ractice Of many years enables him TO measure the
focal disease of the eyes, and such glasses that are
absolutely required will be furnished with precision
and satisfaction. '~aI

piled with such that will improve their sight.

After most careful examination of Mr. Tobias's
Glasses am enabled to testify that their hardness,
cl ;rness polishing nd exact optical shape, render
them particularly recomrnendable TO those whose
merely optical impairment OF the eyes are in want OF
uch auxilares. l consider, moreover MIR. Tobias
ally qualified to determine the focus of the eye both
bv his opticai knowledge and experience and by
means of his optometer. In addition, can further
state that Mr.. Tobias has supplied some of my pa
tients with Classes 70 their and nay satisfaction.
