eyes so impaired to require the use OF 6asses,
would recommend Mr, John Tobias as suitable per-
son from whom to obtain such Glasses they may
1euuire as he has suited me with pair OF Spectacies
for far and sight. Ny sight has been impaired
very much by service OF years IN the Post Once
DEPARTMENT which berth required me to be on duty
from Ii o'clock at night till after day during which
line used but one light.

April, 1854.
Nfier most careful examination OF Mr.. j. Tobiass
Glasses, am enabled to testify that their hardness,
ri rness polishing nd exact optical shape, render
them particularly re ~ommendable TO those whose
merely optical impairment Of the eyes are IN want OF
uch auxiliaries | consider, moreover Mr.. Tobias
nly qualified to determine the focus of the eye both
by his opticai knowledge and experience, aud by
means of his optometer. In addition, can further
state that Mv. Tobias has supplied some OF my pa
ticnts WA Glasses to their and my satisfaction.

suts from too slant and intense use of these
sensitive organs, we were led to make trial oil To-
biass and improved discovery tor the eyes, whose
name beas this article We saw them recommend
ed by slndry gentlemen of Virginia, whom we know,
and hei sfore had less hesitation in making the ex-
pertinent We are more than pleased with the artl-
Gle We read with less fatigue with these lens than
nv we had ever tried before; and we see more dis
iuctly with them. Without meaning to dlsparage the
claims Of others, who have made Improvements IN
Spectacle Lens we deem 1T but J.ist TO make the
