From natural defects and the unequal range Of
my eyes, have been compelled to use glasses for
several years. l have tried different opticians
without obtaining glasses perfectly fitted to my
eyes Four months since Mr. Tobias made two
pairs especially for me, which have found to
serve me perfectly. By the use Of his optometer
he Is enab ed to adapt Glasses infinitely to the eye.
| most cheeIfuly recommend Mr.. Tobias to all
having occasion to use glasses and bear my testi-
mOny as to his skill as an optician.
