HART'S PATENT ECONOMISING GAS
BURNER, the great desideratumof the age to all con-
sumers of Gas. By its use the objections to the introduction
of Gas into private dwellings are removed, inasmuch as every
particle of gas, on reaching the orifice of the burner, is fairly
consumed, and thus the diffusion of those noxious vapours so
injurious to health, and destructive to works of art, bindings
of books, &c., is entirely prevented.
The burner can be fitted by the most inexperienced hand to
any chandelier or bracket.
May be had at the Depot, 69, Fleet-street, E.C., price Two
Shillings each : one sent on receipt of 30 postage stamps.
