After most careful examination of Mr. j. Tobias's
Glasses am enabled to testify that their hardness
cearness polishing, and exact optical shape, render
them particularly recommendable to those whose
merely optical impairment of the eyes are in want
of such auxiliares | consider moreover, Mr. Tobias
fully qualified TO determine the focus of the eye both
by his optical knowledge and experience, and by
means OF his optometer. In addition, can further
state that Mr.. Tobias has supplied some of my pa
tientswith Glasses their and my entire satisfaction

Copy ola testimonial which appeared in the Daily
American Organ, May q, 1885, from Judge V. Ellis,
late editor:)
Having suffered for many years past with weak
ness of the eyes, and that defect Of vision which
results from too constant and intense of these
sensitive organs, we were led to make trial of To-
bass new and improved discovery for the eyes,
whose name heads this article. We saw them re-
commended by sundry gentlemen of Virginia whom
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
lens than any we had ever tried before and see
more distinctly with them. Without meaning 10
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
