\ 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 recominendable 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 eve both

means of his optometer. In addition, lean further
state that Mr.. Tobias has supplied some of my pa.
uents with Glasses, to their and my satisfaction.

In the experience of even two years. have found
great difficulty in obtaining Spectaces that were ex-
actly adapted to the weakness of my sight This In
