! Health and Economy a great desideratum.
| The advantages which the DoRIc FIREPLACE
possesses over all other Stoves, and other contIi
vances for burning coal, are numerous. The COM
mon lire place or crate, is the worst among them
all 1t is deplorabIe to witness The enormous loss
Of heat caused by rush Of cold air from every
hole, crack and crevice by door and window; in
this way three lourths Of the heat passes up the
chimney, and is a total loss. If recourse he had
to stove, II Is neNt 10 impossible TO regulate the
quantity OF fuel SO as TO have medium heat; you
must raise it TO red heat or dc without a fire
there is no way by which a moderate heat can
be had in a stove in barning the anthracite coal.
Besides This, the air, passing over the heated iron
plates, becomes yltlaled and unfit TO he received
by the lungs; The Doric Fire Place supplies the
defects Of The former, and removes the objections
TO the latter. II presents classic font. an en,ab-
lature supported by Doric columns, whence il de-
rives lis name. II ventilates while it warns. They
are easily kept clean, without the daily labor of
brigh,ning, ms is the case where brass is used
~ he sty e is simple and elegant. and consumes
but a small quantity Of coal" They are various
in form and size, and are made 10 suit Steam
boats, Churches, Public Offices, Stores, Halls,
Sitting Rooms and PdriOrS.
The incessant supply of fresh cold air which
circuates between the lining s the outside, makes
the iron nearly indesructlbe, and consequently
they will last for great many years uninjured.
! In support Of these positions adducc The fol-
lowing testimonials.
Il We the subscribers, residents of Boston, New
Bedford, and the vicnites having used and pro-
we'd to our satisfaction the Doric Fire Place, re-
commend it TO the public for the following rea-
sons, viz
"a ,,a co 4,
buslon of the coal.
i 2d-Becduse it snres the heat produced by
that combustion, and converts it to use, by difus-
ing j; equally and pleasantly through the room.
4 3d--Because it secures Tie room from the eDIs
of a smoking chimney, without recourse TO the
bad alternative OF an open door or Window.
II 4th Because it combines and in itself uni;es all
the principal advantages Of both the usual modes
! Of Communicating heat by radiaiion,-as in
I common fire places, and by transmission as in
close Stoves securing the benefits OF both, with
out the evils Of either. Ii Uayms while il Uenti-
! iateS th' room.
5lh-Recau'e it is so far portable that it can
be set into common Fire Place, and again reno
we'd from it without injury to the anbs-so that
it may be used by tenant without becoming a

Of parts is such that the iron plates are ndestructi-
bic by the heat, and Vii! i.o.eio.c last indefinite
