"ToBIAsCoPIC SPECTACLE LENS.
| Having suffered for many years past with weak
ness of the eyes, and that defect of vision which re-
suits from a too constant and inense 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 therefore had less hesitation in making the ex-
| pertinent. We are more than pleased with the artl-
Gle. We read with less fatigue with these lens than
| any we had ever tried before and see more dis
nctly 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 MIR. Tobias resides Seventh

Having been for years under the necessity of hav-
ing two sets of glasses-one for use in the daylight
and one for amplight--I procured one set from Mr..
Tobias, which answered both purposes. have used
his for several months, ard find them excellent.

In the experience of even two years, have found
great difficulty 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 clear, chrysta-like,

artificial aid in this way. ID. SIMKINS, M. ID.

PETERSBURG October 81, 1854.
About FIVE years ago, I obtained from Mr. Tobias,
in Washington, pair of Glasses for the Spectacles
which used, and found them of great assistance to
my decaying vision and my opinion Of him is, that
he is skilul in the preparation of Glasses for eyes
not too far gone to be benefited by such aid.
