WILMINGTON, N G., June Is, 1854. .
To persons who have have had the sight of their
eyes SO impaired as to require the use of Glasses
would recommend Mr.. John Tobias as q suitable per-
son from whom to obtain such Glasses as they may
require he has suited me with pair of Spectacles
for far and sight. Ny sight has been impaired
very much by service of years in the Post Office
Department. which berth required me to be on duty
from o'clock at night till after day, during which
time used but one light.
BROOKLYN ORTHoPARDIc INsrIrurIoN,
After most careful examination of Mr.. ]. Tobiass
Glasses am enabled to testify that their hardness,
cearness polishing and exact optical shape, render
them particularly recommendable to those whose
merely optical impairment of the eyes in want Of
such auxlliaries. / consider, moreover, Mr.. Tobias
fully qualified to determine the focus of the eye both
by his optical knowledge and experience, and by
nlea 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.

"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-
bias new 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 therefore had less hesitation in making the
pertinent. We are more than pleased with the arti-
cie 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 il but just TO make the
above statement Mr.. Tobias resides on Seventh
street, opposite the National Intelhgencer Office"

NoRroLK, VA July 81 1854.
In the experience of even two years, have found
great difficulty in obtaining Spectacles 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
more suitable Glasses They are clear, chrystallike,
and comfortable to my eyes. Iwould commend him
to those who from age or other infrmity require
artificial aid in this way. j. J. SIMKINS, M. ID.

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 skltul in the preparation Of Glasses for eyes
not too far gone TO be benefited by such aid.
