Having suffered for many years past with weak
of the eyes, and that defect of vision which re-
suits from too constant and intense use of these
sensitive organs, we were led to make trial of To
biass new and improved discovery for the eyes, whose
name heads this article We saw them recommend
ed by sundry gentlemen of Virginia, whom we know,
and therefore had less hesitation In making the ex
pertinent. We are more than pleased with the arti-
Gle. We read with less fatigue with these lens than
any we had ever tried before and we see more dis

claims Of others, who have made improvements in

above statement Mr.. Tobias resides on Seventh

Glasses, am enabled to testify that their har dness
clearness, polishing and exact optical shape render
them particularly recommendable to those whose

fully qualified TO determine the focus of the eve both
by his optical knowledge and experience and by
means OF hs'optometer. In addition I can further
state that Mr.. Tobias has supplied some of my pa
nentS with Glasses to their and my satisfaction
