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-
bias's new and improved discovery for the eyes,
whose name heads this article We saw them re.
by sundry gentlemen of Virginia. whom
we know, and therefore had less hesitation in max
ing the experiment. We are more than pleased with
inc Bructe. we re0Q WIN less Iaugue with these
lens than anyw had ever tried before; and we see
more distinctly with them. Without meaning to
disparage the claims Of others who have made i'm
proveents in Spectacle Lens, we deem 1t but just to
make the above statement. Mr.. Tobias resides on

his for several months, and find them excellent.
