Copy of q. testimonial which appeared in the Daily
Amerlsan Organ, May 81, 1856, from Judge v. Ellis
Having suffered for many years past with weak
results from too constant and intense use of these
sensitive organs, we were led to make trial of To-
bass new and improved discovery for the eyes,
commended by sundry gentlemen Of Virginia, whom
we know, and therefore had less hesitation in max
ing the experiment We are more than pleased with
the article. We read with less fatigue with these
more, distinctly with them. Without meaning to
disparage the claims of others who have made i'm.
provements in Spectacle Lens deem it but just to
make the above statement. Mr.. Tobias resides on

In the experience Of even two years, have found
great difficulty in obtaining Spectacies that were
exactly adapted to the weakness of my sight This
inconvenience Mr.. Tobias seems to have removed
for the present by the substitution for me of better
and more suitable Glasses They are clear, crystal
like, and comfort able to my eyes. Il would COM
mend him to those who, from age or other infrmty,
require artificial aid in this way.

About i've years ago, obtained from Mr. Tobias,
