In the experience of even two years, have found
great difficulty IN obtaining Spectacles that

convenience Mr.. Tobias seems to have removed for
the present by the substitution for of better and
more suitable Glasses. They clear chrystallke,

About five years ago, obtained from Mr.. Tobias
in Washington pair of Glasses for the Spectacles
