To persons who have had the sight of their ewes so
impaired as to require the use OF Glasses, would
recommend Mr.. John Tobias as a suitable person
from whom TO obtain such Glasses as they may re-
quire, he has suited me with pair of Spectacles
for far end sight. NV sight has been impaired
very much by service of years in the Post Office
Department, which berth required me to be on duty
from IL O'Clock at night till after day. during which
time used but enc light. w. A. WALKER.

raj years have tried different opticians without
obtaining glasses perfectly fitted to eyes, -Four
months since Mr.. Tobias made two pairs especially
for me, which have found to serve me perfectly.
