suits from too constant and intense use OF these
sensitive organs, we were led to make trial OF To-
bass and improved discovery for the eyes, whose
name heads this article. We saw them recommend

After most careful examination of Mr. j. Tobias's
Glasses, am enabled to testify that their hardness
cearness polishing and exact optical shape, render
merely optical impairment of the eyes in want of
such auxiliaries | consider, moreover, Mr.. Tobias
fully qualified to determine the focus of the eye both
by his optical knowledge and experience, and by
mea ms of his optometer. In addition, can further
state that Mr.. Tobias has supplied some of my pa
tients with Glasses to their and my satisfaction.

the present by the substitution for me of better and
more suitable Glasses. They clear, chrystalke,
and comfortable to my eyes. would commend him

artificial aid in this way. J. j. SIMKlNS,pAs ID.
