great difficulty in Obtaining Spectaees that were
actly adapted to the weakness of my sight. This In

and comfortable to my eyes would commend him

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 skiliulin the preparation of glasses for eyes
not too far gone to be benefited by such aid.
