4" 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-
bias's new and improved discovery for the eyes,
whose name heads this article We saw them re-
comnended by snndry 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
lens than any we had ever tried before and we see
more distinctly with them Without meaning to
dsparage the claims OF others who have made inn
provements in Spectacle Lens deem it but just to
make the above statement Mr.. Tobias resides on

In Washington, pair Of Glasses for the Spectacles
which used, and found them Of great assistance
10 my decaying vision and my opinion of him is
that he is skifu in the preparation Of glasses for
eyes not too far gone TO be benefited by such aid.
