"Having suffered for many years past with weak

suits from too constant and intense use OF these
sensitive organs, we were led to make trial OF To-

name heads this article. We saw them recommend

To persons who have have had the sight of their
eyes impaired as to require the use OF GLASSES,
would recommend Mr.. John Tobias suitable per
son from whom to obtain such Glasses as they may
require as he has suited with pair of Spectaces
for far and near sight My sight has been impaired
very much by service of years in the Post Office
Department which berth required me to be on duty
from IL o'clock at night till after day. during which

April, 1854.
After most careful examination of Mr. j. Tobias's
Glasses am enabled to testify that their hardness
clearness, polishing and exact optical shape, render
them particularly recommendable to those whose
merely optical impairment of the eyes are in want OF
such auxilaries / consider, moreover, Mr.. Tobias
fully qualified to determine the focus of the eye, both
by his optical knowledge and experience, and by
means Of his optometer. In addition, can further
state that Mr.. Tobias has supplied some of my pa
tents with Glasses, to their and my satisfaction.

In the experience of even two years. have found
great difficulty in obtaining Spectaces that
actly 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-like
and comfortable to my eyes, would commend him
to those who, from age or other intrmity, require
artificial aid in this way. J. ]. SIMKINS, M. ID.

PETERSBURG, October 81, 1854.
About FIVE years ago, / obtained from Mr.. Tobias,
in Washington, pair of Glasses for the Spectacles
which used, and found them of great assistance to
my decaying vision; and my opinion of him is, that
he is sktul in the preparation of Glasses for eyes
not too far gone TO be benefited by such aid.
