Having suffered for many years past with weak
of the eyes, and that defect of vision which re-
suits from too constant and intense use of these
sensitive organs, we were led to make trial of To-
biass 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 arti-
Gle. We read with less fatigue with these lens than
any we had ever tried before and we see more dis
tnctly with them. Without meaning to disparage the
claims of others, who have made improvements in
Spectacle Lens, we deem it but just to make the
above statement Mr.. Tobias resides on Seventh
street, opposite the National Integencer office"

artificial aid in this way. j. j. SIMKINS, M. b. Y
