SENSE AND COMFORT. (jTAS b'TOVES. COOKING by GAS is Easier, Cheaper, and far more Economical than by Wood or Coal, and suitable for the Cottage, Mansion, or Hotol. The superior flavour, the retention of the animal juices in the Meat, and the prevention of Avasto, arc plainly shoAvn 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.loint 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 yon want comfort, buy one. AS STOVES, for Boiling, Steaming, Broil ng, SteAving, or Frying, from 3s.
