"Having suffered for many years past with weak
of the eyes, and that defect of vision which re-
suits from too constant and intense use of these
sensitive organs, led TO make trial of To-
bias 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
tinctly with them. Without meaning to dsparage 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"

After most careful examination of Mr. j. Tobias's

byhs optical knowledge and experience, and by

NORFOLK, 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 haveremoved for
the present by the substitution for of better and
more suitable Glasses. They are clear, chrystalke
and comfortable to my eyes. would commend him

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

PETERSBURG, October 81 1854.
About five years ago, 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 sklful in the preparation of Glasses eyes
not too far gone to be benefited by such aid.
