To persons who have have had the sight of their
eyes impaired as to require the of GLASSES,
would recommend Mr.. John Tobias a suitable per-
son from whom to obtain such Glasses as they may
require, he has suited me 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
lime used but one light.

After most careful examination of Mr. j. Tobias's
Glasses, am enabled to testify that their hardness,
c .rness polishing, ind exact optical shape render
them particularly recommendable TO those whose

iuch auxiliaries l consider, moreover, Mr. Tobias
FULLY qualified to determine the focus of the eye both

state that Mr.. Tobias has supplied some of my pa

"Eaying suffered for many years past with weak
ness 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 and improved discovery for the eyes, whose
name beads this article. We saw them recommend

and theI efore 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

In the experien Of even two years, have found
great difficulty in Obtaining Spectaces that were en-
actly adapted TO the weakness of my sight This in
convenience Mr. Tobias seems to have removed for

artificial aid in this way. j. J.SIMKINS M. ID.

About FIVE years ago, obtained from Mr. Tobias
tn Washington, pair of Glasses for the Specaoles
which used and found them of great assistance 10
my decaying vision; and my opinion of hIm is that
he is skliu in the preparation of glasses for eyes
not too far gone TO be benefited by such aid.
