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

In the experienr of even two years, have found
great difficulty in Obtaining Spectaces that were ex-
actly adapted To the weakness Of my sight This in
convenience Mr. Tobias seems to have removed for
the present by the substitution for me of better and
more suitable Glasses. They clear chrystallike,
and comfortable to my eyes. Iwould commend him
to those who, from age or other intrmity require
artificial aid in this way. ]. ]. SIMKINS, M. ID.
