WILMINGTON, N c., June is, 1854.
To persons who have have had the sight of their
eyes so impaired as to require the use Of q diasses
would recommend Mr.. John Tobias as a suitable per
son from whom to obtain such Glasses as they NAV
require as he has suited me 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
Limo used but one light.

April, 1854.
After most careful examination Of Mr. J. Tobias's
Glasses, am enabled to testify that their hardness
cearness, polishing and exact optical shape render
them particularly reeommendable to those whose
merely optical impairment of the eyes are in want OF
such auxliaries consider, moreover, Mr. Tobias
fully qualified to determine the focus of the eye both
by his optical knowledge and experience, and by
state that Mr.. Tobias has supplied some of my pa.
hents with Glasses, to their and my satisfaction.

Qate editoro
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 we were led to make trial of To-
bas new ana 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 tried before; and we see more dis
hncty with them. Without meaning to dsparage the
claims of others, who have made improvements in
Spectacle Lens we deem it but just to make the
above statement. Mr.. Tobias resides on Seventh
street. opposite the National Intellgencer office"

From an examination of Mr.. Tobass Glasses, and
from his observations and remarks am convinced

In the experience OF even two years. have found
great difficulty in obtaining Specaces that were ex
actly adapted TO the weakness of my sight This in
convenience Mr. Tobias seems to have removed for
the present by the substitution for me of better and
more suitable Glasses. They are clear chrystal-like
and comfortable to my eyes. would commend him
TO those who, from age or other infrmity, require
artificial aid in this way. ]. ]. SIMKINS, M. b.
