Copy of a testimonial which appeared in the Daily
American Organ, May u, 1862 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 use of these
sensitive organs 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
we know, and therefore had less hesitation in maxi
ing the experiment. We are more than pleased with
the article. We read with less fatigne with these
lens than anywe had ever tried before and we see
more distinctly with them. Without meaning to
disparage the claims of others who have made in-
provcments in Spectacle Lens we deem il but lust 10
make the above statement. Mr.. Tobias resides on
