Somerset, Pa., March 5. 1846 ly. - STEATTB'S PiLTZlTT FLAME ENCIRCLED OVEN COOKING STOVE. FTHIS Stove combines all that is val- ' JL uable in existing Cooking Stoves I with ceriaiti improvements peculiar to itself, his constructed upon a new and entirely distinct principle truly philo sophical, so as to pass the flue entirely round the oven, thus making it enveloped or flame encircled, without impairing the necessary draught of the stove. This method of thus passing twice round, once over and once under the oven, is the secret of its great economy in the use of fuel, while the enlargement of the air chamber affords increased space for the rarefaction of air and compensates for the usual disadvantages of a circular draught. It bakes, toasis, and boils, easier and belter than any Stove yet of fered to the public with the advantage over most of them of saving one half the fuel. It is superior to the "Queen of the West," "Buck's Patent," "Eclipse" or Hathaway s Patent," for the follow ing reasons: In these Stoves the upper side of the oven is dependant for heal and can have from no other source than what radiates through the plate on which the fire is made. If the ashes be lifted clean, too much heat will radiate and burn the bread on the upper side, if too much ashes be left, the bread will not bake on the upper side. Of this defect all good cooks complain. This Siuve is entirely free of this objection, the oven always heating exactly ahke lop and bottom, and ends. Many buy the Premium or step stove and others'of similar model. These Stoves consume much fuel, for first the fire chamber is too deep, the pots &c, are too high a hove the fire. Second when using the oven, all the heat which passes off under the oven being one half, never comes in contact with the boiling utensils, passesoff into the pipe and is lost. Also our Stove is so arranged with a batik or elevation in the fire chamber as to ensure the use of the flame upon the forward part of the Stove first, and it then passes back afterward heating all alike whereas Stoves like the Uathawav, having one vest chamber, allow too wide a range for the flame without suffcienl concen tration. We manufacture two sires of this Stove at theEagle Foundry in BerlinSom erset rotiiuy, Pa. For the larger size mo6t of the pots commonly used in the kitchen will answer. ' Always on hand, a complete assort mrntof PLOUGHS, with PLOUGH CASTINGS of great variety. HOL LOW WARE of superior material and finish, comprising eveiy thing in that line. CAS TINGS on hand, and nuide to order, on the mst reasonable terms. HOUSER& BERKEY. lWlituOci. 13 1846.3m. JOB PRINTING, NF.iLY AND EXPEDITIOUSLY ArxEcriEr at this oitice. John A.

THE object of this establishment' is to supply a want greatly felt by re spectable travellers on our western high; ways by residents, without family, la ken sick and by patients from the sur rounding towns and country who resort to this place for relief from surgical and other diseases. Such have often suffered from the want of the various comforts and attentions so necessary and agreeable to the sick, and from careless and un faithful nurses; and been subjected to heavy and unreasonable charges. Invalids will here be provided with constant, faithful and comfortable atten dance, snd at a rate much below the usu al charges. While the'eare of both physicians will be extended to every variety of disease, it is intended by Dr. Speer, to give spe cial attention to ALL SURGICAL DISEASES, PARTICULARLY TO DISEASES OF THE EYE. ' To these branches of his profession he has given a large share of his atten ion for the last twenty-five years, and he will continue to devote to them the experience acquired by a coustant prac tice duting that lime. The Hotel for Invalids is not an exper iment. Its establishment is suggested not only as necessary to supply an evi dent want in this city, in the entire ab sence of any special provision for the sick, but is warranted also by the success of similar institutions at Cincinnati and New Orleans- the former under the care of Drs. Taliaferro, Marshall and Stradet the latiei1 under that of Dr. Stone. The building selected for the purpose is situated attheccrner of. Federal and Robinson streets, in Allegheny city, ad joining - the city of Pittsburgh. It i commodious and roomy, an J furnished with all accommodations necessary for he sick. . ' . ' Applications for admission to be mad to the subscribers, a.t their office on Penn street, Pittsburgh, or ai the establishment. C7"No contagious diseases will be adj mined. J. R, SPEER. M. D J. S.
