In the experience of even two years. have found
great difficulty in obtaining Specacles that were
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

About FIVE years ago. l 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 skltu in the preparation of Glasses for eyes
not too far gone to be benefited by such aid
