:" "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, we were led TO make trial OF To-
bass and improved discovery for the eyes, whose
Il
cd by sundry gentlemen Of Virginia, whom we know,
and therefore had less hesitation in making the ex-
| pertinent. We are 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"

ing two sets of glassesone for use in the daylight

After most careful examination of Mr.. j. Tobias's
Glasses, 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 are in want OF
such auxiliaries. / 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 Mr. 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 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 Of better and
suitable Glasses. They are clear chrystallike
and comfortable to my eyes, would commend him
TO those who from age or other intirInIty, require
artificial aid in this way. J. ]. SIMKINs, M. D.
