COMMON SENSE AND COMFORT. GrAS STOVES. nifji COOKING by GAS is Easier, Cheaper, and far more Economical than by Wood or Coal, and suitable for tho Cottage, Mansion, or Hotel. Tho superior flavour, the retention of the animal juices in tho Moat, and the prevention 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 the com mon modes of Boasting 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 sonso, buy one. If you want comfort, buy one. AS STOVES, for Boiling, Steaming, Broil ng. Stewing, or Frying, from 3s.
