tla.e edi.or)
Paving suffered for many years past with weak
ness of the eyes, and that defect of vision which re-
suits from too constant and intense use OF these
sensitive organs we were led to make trial OF To-
bias new and discovery for the eyes, whose
name heads this article. We saw them recommend
ed by suodry gentlemen OF Virginia, whom we know,
pertinent We are more than pleased with the art-
Gle. We read with less fatigue with these lens than
ny we had ever tried before; and we see more dis
.inctly with them. Without meaning to disparage the
claims of Others who have made improvements in
Spectacle Lens we deem it but just to make the
above statement. Mr.. Tobias resides on Seventh
street. opposite the National Intelligencer office"

NORFOLK, Va, July ~, 1854
In the experien, of even two years, have found
great difficulty in Obtaining Spectacles that were ex
acty adapted to the weakness Of my sight. This In
convenience Mr.: Tobias seems TO have removed for
the present by the substitution for of better and
more suitable Glasses. They clear, chrystallike,
and comfortable to my eyes, would commend him
to those who, from age or other infirmity require
artificial aid in this way. ]. J.SIMKINS M. ID.

PETERSBURG, October 21 1854
About FIVE years ago, obtained from Mr. Tobias,
IN ashington pair of Glasses for the Spectacles
which used and found them OF great assistance TO
nv decaying vision; and my opinion of hun is that
he is sklfuI in the preparation Of glasses for eyes
not too far gone to be benefited by such aid.
