After most careful examination of Mr. j. Tobias's
Glasses, am enabled 10 testify that their hardness
cl rness, polishing, nd exact optical shape, render
them particularly reaommendabe to those whose
merely optical mpa rment of the eyes are in want OF
uch auxaries. / consider, moreover, MIR. Tobias
ally qualified to determine the focus of the eye, both
by his optca knowledge and experience, aud by
means of his optometer. In addition can further
state that Mr.. Tobias has supplied some of my pa-
,ients VIA Glasses, to their and my satisfaction.
