From natural defects and the unequal range Of
my eyes, have been compelled to use glasses for
several years. | have tried different opticians
without obtaining glasses perfectly fitted to my
eyes. Four months since Mr.. Tobias made two
pairs especially for me, which have found to
serve NE perfectly. Bv the use Of his pptometer
he is enah ed TO adapt Glasses infinitely the eve
| most cheeIfuly recommend Mr. Tobias to all
having occasion IN use glasses and bear my tcsti-
nony az to his skin as an optician.
