"ToBIAsCoPIc SPECTACLE LENS
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, led to make trial of To-
bass and improved discovery for the eyes, whose
name heads this article. We saw them recommend
and therefore had less hesitation in making the ex-
pertinent. We 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
tincty with them Without meaning to disparage 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 Intelligencer office"
WASHINGTON, August s, 1855.
Having been for years under the necessity of hav-
ing two sets of gasses-one for in the daylight,
and one for lamplght-I procured set from Mr..
Tobias which answered both purposes. have used
his for several months, and find them excellent.

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 recommendable to those whose
merely optical impairment of the eyes are in want Of
such auxaries. | consider, moreover, Mr.. Tobias
fully qualified to determine the focus of the eye, both
by his optical knowledge and experience, and by
means OF his optometer In addition can further
state that MIR. Tobias has supplied some of my pa
tients with Glasses, to their and my satisfaction.

In the experience of even two years, have found
great difficulty in obtaining Spectacles that were
acty 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
more suitable Glasses. They are clear, chrysta-lke,
and comfortable to my eyes. Iwoud commend him
| TO those who, from age or other infrmtv require
artificial aid in this way. ]. j. SIMKINS, M. b.

eyes so impaired to require the use of Glasses
would recommend Mr.. John Tobias as a suitable per-
son from whom to obtain such Glasses they may
require, he has suited me with pair of Spectacles
for far and sight. My sight has been impaired
very much by service of years in the Post Office

from II O'CLOCK at night till after day, during which
time used but one light.

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 decaypg vision; and my opinion of him is, that
he is skiltu in the preparation of Glasses for eyes
not too far gone TO be benefited by such aid.
