"ToBIASGoPIC SPECTACLE LENS
Having suffered for many years past with weak
of the eyes, and that defect of vision which
suits from too constant and intense 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,
pertinent. We are more than pleased with the arti-
Gle. We read with less fatigue with these lens than
any had ever tried before; and we see more dis
tinctly 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 Inteligencer office"

After most careful examination of Mr. j. Tobias's
Glasses am enabled to testify that their hardness,
clearness polishing and exact optical shape, render
them particularly recommendable to those whose
merely optical impairment of the eyes 10 want OF
such auxiliaries. consider, moreover, Mr.. Tobias
fully qualified to determine the focus Of the eye, both
by his optical knowledge and experiences, and by
mea ms of his optometer. In addition, can further
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 Spectaces 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, chrystaik
and comfortable to my eyes, would commend HIM
to those who, from age or other infrmity, require
artificial aid in this way. J. J. SIhiKINS, M. ID.

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 skul in the preparation of Glasses for eyes
not too far gone to be benefited by such aid. 9l
