THE VESTA

PATENT STOVE,

70s. plain.
That a Madeira climate in England may be produced by the
VESTA STOVE, plants of the most tender kind requiring
warmth have proved ; in sick rooms it has been found invalu-
able, producing one even degree of temperature throughout the
day and night. The Vesta Stove has no doors, and as there
is not any fire in contact with the outer case, warmth is ob-
tained without any of the unpleasant effects complained of in
the use of others. The fire can be kept alight the whole season,
and the part containing the fire is not open during the time it
is replenished with fuel. The fuel passes from the Hod into
the Stove without being seen, preventing entirely any escape
of the noxious vapours, and that annoyance from dust which,
in feeding other stoves, arises from Vie fuel being removed
from the Hod into the Stove, or what is worse, into a funnel
to convey it into the stove. The ashes are removed without
causing any dirt or dust ; no raking out with portable rakers,
or the hands, being necessary ; ;.nd during their removal from
the interior of the Stove they are not visible. The cost for
fuel (cinders, coke, or Welch coal) will be about twopence for
twenty-four hours, during which time the stove will not require
attention.
, The VESTA STOVES are perfectly free from all liability
to explosions and such unpleasant consequences as have been
met with in the use of Arnott's. A variety of sizes and patterns
are made with ascending and descending flues, in iron and
earthenware, suitable for warming apartments of every descrip-
tion, Churches, Ships' Cabins, &c.
The Stoves may be seen in use at RIPPON and BURTON'S
/Warehouses, Wells-street, Oxford-street. A List of Prices
a number of references and testimonials will be sent in
answer to a post-paid application.

‘‘ Pauci taciturn dolorem continebant."—Liv.
A. S Manhood approaches, the human form, coun-
tenance, voice, and the whole intellectual character,
rapidly undergo a revolution. Love is the end and sum of life,
creating image after image of ideal perfection. But in the
tresent state of society, pure and virtuous enjoyment is often
Postponed and obstructed, till the excess of youthful impetuosity
Impels to a course of wild and injurious indulgence, and the
blind becomes painfully harassed by alterations of fear, disgust,
and passion. In this state relief is perhaps sought from the
zrlexperienced, perhaps from the ignorant ; in either case at the
!zpense of health; that being only palliated which should have
been effectually cured. Here we propose to step in and rescue
toe victim of unwise indulgence from the pangs of remorse,
disappointed hope, and disease; and we pledge ourselves to
eradicate every taint of syphilitic poison, and to restore to its
Wonted energy every relaxation of the generative economy,
hether from this or other causes, whereby the dignity of man-
400d shall have become impaired; equally contemning unfeel-
'cgempyricism, which with reckless ignorance destroys where
tt should restore ; and, on the other hand, that unworthy
principle" whose proud selfishness increases the embarrass-
itcent of the afflicted. All classes of society, not excepting the
4Sglo-Indian, but more especially such as are about to enter
"Its matrimonial life, are included in the limits of this address,
and to all we confidently offer the result of many years suc-
cessful practice.
• Daily attendance is given for personal consultation • and im-
rcediate answers are returned to country letters, which must

'World, however distant.—No difficulty can occur, as the Medi-
'sine will be securely packed, and carefully protected from ob-
servation. GOSS and Co., (31. R. C., Surgeons),
