| In the experience of even two years, have found
great difficulty in obtaining Spectacles that were ex
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, chrysta-ike,
and comfortable to my eyes, would commend him
artificial aid in this way. ]. J. SIMKINS, NJ. b.
