suits from too constant and intense use of these
sensitive organs we were led TO make trial of To-
biass and improved discovery for the eyes, whose
name heads this article. We them recommend

them particularly recommendable to those whose

such auxiaries I consider moreover Mr. Tobias
fully qualified to determine the focus of the eye both
by his optical knowledge and experience, and by
mea ns OF his optomeer. In addition, can further

tients with Glasses, to their and my satisfaction.

About five years ago, obtained from Mr. Tobias
In Washington, pair of Glasses for the Spectaces
which used, and found them of great assistance to
| my decaying vision; and my opinion of him is that
he is skul in the preparation of Glasses for eyes
not too far gone to be benefited by such aid.
