Having suffered for many years past with weak
ness OF the eyes, and that defect of vision which
results from too constant and intense use of these
sensitive organs, we were led to make trial of To-
biass new and improved discovery for the eyes,
whose name heads this article. We saw them re-
commended by sundry gentlemen Of Virginia, whom
we know and therefore had less hesitation in max
than pleased w
the article. We read with less fatigue with these
lens than any we had ever tried before and we see
more distinctly with them. Without meaning to
disparage the claims of others who have made inn
make the above statement Mr.. Tobias resides on

In the experience Of even two years, have found
great difficulty in obtaining Spectacles that were
exactly adapted 10 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 1 would COM

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 sklfn in the preparation Of glasses for
eyes not too far gone to be benefited by such aid.
