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

HOTEL, fr INVALIDS
AT PITTSBURGH.
Drs, Spcer and ZSuhn.
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
