Having suffered for many years past with weak.
of the eyes, and that defect of vision which
suits from too constant and intense use Of these
sensitive organs we were led to make trial Of To-
biass and improved discovery for the eyes, whose
name heads this article We saw them recommend
ed by sundry gentlemen Of Virginia whom we know,
and therefore had less hesitation in making the ex-
pertinent We are more than pleased with the arti-
Gle. We read with less fatigue with these lens than
any had ever tried before; and see more dis
tinctly 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"

After most careful examination of Mr. j. Tobias's

cearness polishing and exact optical shape, render

by his optical knowledge and experience, and by
means OF his optometer. In addition, can further

In the experience of even two years, have found
great difficulty in obtaining Spectacles that
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, chrystal-ke,
and comfortable to my eyes, would commend him
to those who, from age other infirmity require
artificial aid in this way. J. j. SIMKINS, M. d.
Sra: The pair Of Spectacles you furnished me yes
terday particularly satisfactory to me. They are
very decidedly the best possess, and the owner
of eight or nine pairs carefully selected in different
places, and from opticians recommended to me on
account Of their professional standing in France Eng

with your remarks and directions on the treatment
Of the eyes for the purpose of preserving and mpro
