COMMON SENSE AND COMFORT. Gtas 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, the retention. of the animal juices in the Meat, 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 Roasting or Baking, for whereas a Joint of Meat of eleven pounds loses never less than three pounds at an Open Fire, or Com pounds in an Oven, the loss by the Gas Roaster is cnly one pound. If you have common sense, buy one. If you want comfort, buy one. AS STOVES, for Boiling, Stoamm;;', Broil ng, Slewing, or Frying, from 3s.
