require he has suited 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 II o'clock at night till after day, during which
zine used but one light. ~ Hl

niea as of his optometer. In addition can further
state that Mr.. Tobias has supplied some Of my pa.
