"Haying suffered for many years past with weak

suits from too constant and intense use OF these
sensitive organs, were led TO make trial OF To-
bass new and improved discovery for the eyes, whose

After most careful examination of Mr.. J. Tobiass
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 are in want OF
such atixlaries. | consider, moreover, MIR. Tobias
fully qualified to determine the focus of the eye both
by his optical knowledge and experience and by
mea ms Of his optomcter. In addition, can further
state that Mr.. Tobias has supplied some OF my pa
tients with Glasses to their and my satisfaction.

| In the experience of even two years. have found
great difficulty in obtaining Specaces that were ex
acy adapted to the weakness of my sight. This in

the present by the substitution for of better and
more suitable Glasses They are clear, chrysal-like
| and comfortable to my eyes, would commend him
to those who, from age or other infrmity, require
artificial aid in this way. J. ]. SIMKINS, M. d.
