/COMMON SENSE AND COMFORT. Gas Stoves. \ ] COOKING by GAS is Easier, Cheaper, and far more Economical than by Wood or Coal, and suitable for the Cottage, Mansion, or Hotel. The superior flavour, tho retention of the animal juices in the Meat, and the prevention of waste, arc plainly shown on the first trial. The loss of weight by GAS COOKING is reduced to about one-fourth of that of the 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 the 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.
