"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 10 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 anywe had ever tried before and we see
more distinctly with them. Without meaning 10
disparage the claims of others who have made inn
provements in Spectacle Lens deem il but just TO
make the above statement Mr.. Tobias resides on
