suits from too constant and intense use of these
sensitive organs, were led to make trial Of To.
bass and improved discovery for the eyes, whose
name heads this article. We saw them recommend

In.thc experience of even two years have found
great d hculty in obtaining Spcctacles that were ex

convenience Mr. Tobias seems to have removed for
the present by the substitution for me OF better and
more suitable Glasses They are clear, chrysta-l like
and comfortable to my eyes. Iwould commend him
to those who, from age or other nfrmty, require
artificial aid in this way. j. j, SIMKINS, M. b.
