"P aying suffered for many years past with weak
ness of the eyes, and that defect OF vision which re-
cults 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 saw them recommend
ed by sundry gentlemen OF Virginia, whom we know,
and ther elore had less hesitation in making the ex-
perimea. We are more than pleased with the arti-
cle We read with less fatigue with these lens than
eny we had tried before; and we see more dis
inctsy with them. Without meaning to dsparage the
claims vi Others who have made improvements In
sneetscle Lens, we deem it but Just to make the
above statement. Mr. Tobias resides on Seventh
street. opposite the National intelligencer Office.
