+ Copy of testimonial which appeared in the Daily
American Organ, May 81, 1855, from Judge v. Ellis,
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, 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 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
disparage the claims of others who have made inn
make the above statement. Mr. Tobias resides on
Seventh street opposite the National lntelhgencer
