(late edtor:)
"Having suffered for many years past with weak
ness of the eyes, and that defect Of vision which
suits from too constant and intense use Of these
sensitive organs, we're led to make trial of To-
bass 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 ex-
pertinent. We are more than pleased with the arti-
cle We read with less fatigue with these lens than
any we had ever tried before; and see more dis
tnctly 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"

From an examination Of Mr.. Tobias's Glasses, and
from his observations and remarks, am convinced
that he is a skilful optician

In the experience of even two years, / have found
greatdifculty in obtaining Spectacles that were ex-
acty 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, chrystallke,
and comfortable to my eyes, would commend him
to those who, from age or other in6rmity, require
artificial aid in this way. J. J. SIMKINS, M. b.

very decidedly the best possess and am the owner
of eight or nine pairs, carefully selected in different
places, and from opticians recommended to me on
