Having suffered for many years past with weak
ness OF the eyes, and that defect of vision which re-
suits from too constant and intense use of these
sensitive organs, were led to make trial of To.

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
clearness, polishing and exact optical shape, render
them particularly recommendable to those whose

such auxaries. consider, moreover, Mr.. Tobias
fully qualified to determine the focus of the eye both
by his optical knowledge and experience, and by
means of his optometer. In addition I can further
state that Mr.. Tobias has supplied some of my pa
tients with Glasses, to their and my satisfaction.
