"ToBIAsCOPIC SPECTACLE LENS.
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-
bass new 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
pertinent. We are more than pleased with the art
Gle. We read with less fatigue with these lens than
any we had ever tried before; and we see more dis
tincty with them. Without meaning to dsparage the
claims of others, who have made improvements in
Spectacle Lens We deem il but just to make the
above statement Mr.. Tobias resides on Seventh

After most careful examination Of Mr. J. Tobass
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 in want OF
such auxiaries. 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 Spectacles 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 chrystallike,
and comfortable to my eyes. would commend him

artificial aid in this way. j. J. 'SlMklNS, M. ID. n

About five years ago, ! obtained from Mr.. Tobias,
in Washington, q 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 skul in the preparation of Glasses for eyes
not too far gone TO be benefited by such aid.
