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

above statement. Mr.. Tobias resides on Seventh

After most careful examination of Mr.. j. Tobass
Glasses, am enabled to testify that their hardness,
cearness, polishing and exact optical shape, render
them particularly recommendable to those whose
merely optical impairment of the eyes are in want OF
such auIiliaries 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
tents with Glasses, to their and my satisfaction.

In the experience of even two years, have found
great difficulty in obtaining Spectacles 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 of better and
suitable Glasses. They clear, chrystal-like

PETERSBURG, October 81, 1854
About FIVE years ago, obtained from Mr.. Tobias,
in Washington, pair of Glasses for the Spectacles
which used, and found them of great assistance to
my decaying vision; and my opinion of him is, that
he is sklful in the preparation of Glasses for eyes
not too far gone to be benefited by such aid.
