FLAME ENCIRCLED OVEN
COOKING STOVE.
FTSFMllS Stove combines all that is val
3 uable in existing Cooking Stoves
with certain improvements peculiar to
itself. It is constructed upon a new and
entirely distinct principle truly philo
snphical, so as to pass the flue entirely
round the oven, thus making it enveloped
or JJamc encircled, without impairing the
necessary draught of the tune. 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, loasis, and boils,
easjer and better than any Stove )et 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," "Hurt's Patent," "Eclipse"
or Hathaway s Patent," for the follow
ing reasous: In these Stoves the upper
side of tbc oven is dependant for heal
end can have from no oilier source than
what radiates through the plate on which
the fire is made. If the ashes be lifted
clean, too much heat w ill radiate and
burn the bread on the upper
fide, if too much ashes be left, the bread
will not bake on the upper side. Of this
defect all good cooks complain. This
Stove is entirely free of this objection,
the oven always heating exactly alike
lop and bottom, and ends. Mwy 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-
bove the lire. Second when using the j
oven, all the heal which passes off under
the oven being one ha'f, never conies in
contact with the boiling utensils, passesofi"
into the pipe and is lost. Also our Stove
is so arranged with a bank 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
bfterward heating all alike whereas
Stoves like the Hathaway, having one
iest chamber, allow too wide a range
for the flame without suffcicnt concen
tration. Wc manufacture two 6izcs of ibis
Sioveat theEagle Foundry in BerlinSom
rrset county, Pa. For the larger size
most of the pots commonly used in the
Vivcben will answer.
Always on hand, a complete ssort

HOTEL for Iff VALBUS
AT PITTSBURGH.
Drs, Speer and Hulm.
riTMIE object of this establishment is
Jl. to supply a want greatly fell by re-
spectable travellers on our western highS
ways by residents, without family, ta
ken sick and by patients from the sur
rounding towns and country who rcscrt
to this place for relief Irom surgical and
other diseases. Such have often suffered
from the want of the various comforts
and attentions so necessary and agreeabla
to the sick, and from careless and un
faithful nurses; and been subjected to
heavy and unreasonable charge.
Invalids will here be provided with
constant, faithful and comfortable atten
dance, snd at a rate much below the nsn
al charges. " "
While the care of both physicians will
be extended to every variety of disease,
it is intended by Dr. Speer, lo give spe
cial attention .to
ALL SURGICAL DISEASES,
PARTICULARLY TO
DISEASES. OF THE EYE.
To these branches of his profession
he lias given a large share of his atten
ion for the last twenty-five years, and!
he will continue to devote to them ths
experience acquired by a constant prac
lice during that time.
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 ihc entire ab
sence of any special provision for iho
sick, but is warranted also by the success
of similar institutions al Cincinnati and
New Orleans the former under the care
of Drs. Taliaferro, Marshall and Slradtr
the latter under that of Dr. Sione.
The building selected for the purpoa
is situated at the ccrner of Federal and
Robinson streets, in Allegheny city, ad
joining the city of Piu.-lursh. It is
commodious and roomy, a:i ! furnished
with all accommodations necessary for
he sick.
Applications for admission la be mada
to the subscribers, at their ofiice on Pern
