pOMMON SENSE AND COMFORT. Gas Stoves. I — I i COOKING by GAS is Easier, Cheaper, and I far more Economical than by Wood or Coal, , and suitable for tho Cottage, Mansion, or Hotel. The superior flavour, the retention of the animal juices in tho Meat, and the pretention j of waste, are plainly shown on the first trial. The loss of weight by GAS COOKING is reduced to about one-fourth of that of tho com mon modes of Roasting or Baking, for whereas a Joint of Meat of eleven pounds loses never less than three pounds at an Open Fire, or four pounds in an Oven, the loss by tho Gas Roaster is only one pound. If you have common sense, buy one. If you want comfort, buy one. GAS STOVES, for Boiling, Steaming, Broil ing, Stewing, or Frying, from 3s.
