This may certify lhatl have used in my family
the air-tight Stove invented by Rev. Isaac Orr,
and found it fully to answer the description given
of 1t by him, arL 10 consume during a winter,
while the weather is cold to need fire in
dining room, only cord ofwoud The room
was SO warm during tho day and night, that plants
iourished and grew quite as we'll as if they had
been in green house. IF could get no other
Air tight Stove, would not take Fifty Dollars for
Iit-so highly do | va Tie 1t If proper attention Is
paid to The door and damper, will venture to say,
it will be found the most comfoi table, convenient,
and economical Of any stove in use. l have had
the stove above referred to in use about seven
years. (Sgned> SAMUEL KIDDER.

About the first Of February last, obtained one
of Orrs Air tight Stoves, and placed it in a

were not listed During that part of the year in
which a fire Is necessary, fire has been. kept in
the stove night and day All the wood that it has

been only what could bring in my arms at

for if the door is left up, it will burn so rapidly

which will puff out with great violence. Another
thing must be attended to - the doors Of the

apartment except its own. 1t takes about three
minutes to fill it, which is done on going to bed

On the whole, it is my opinion, that, properly
manufactured, and properly managed, no stove is
so cheap, economical safs, and pleasant, the

rooms, aud sick chambers. One cord of sound,
dry, hard maple wood, will nearly supply

BRANDON, Nov. %, 1899
M Spautding Dear Sir,-I have used for a
few weeks the "Air-Tlg ht Stove as manufactured
by you, and should be unwilngto dispense with
1t for any consideration. single arm-iull Of wood
put in at night or in the morning, lasts twenty four
hours, with no further care, except perhaps an
Casionul slight movement of the door, may
wish to raise or lower the temperature -; and in
instance a single supply of fuel lasted forty-eght
hours. L have found it an excellent article for
Sick room, producing miid and equal temperature,
night and day. | am confident that no convenient
ces heretofore possessed can compare with this in
cases of pulmonary affection, substitute for
moval to southern climate during win
! ter seasons.

four doors and three windows, and (ihe house old)
plenty of cracks and crevices. single armful of
wood has sufliced for the coolest "a hours thus far
in the season and without touching the stove in
the meantime, the thermometer at the back part OF

point for 10 to IL hours together. The stove is
large, and is managed according to the directionS
! NoTIc TO PURcHAsERs 1t is best to observe
strictly the Patentoe's directions ill you clearly
see good cause to vary from them. They are tho
result of the experience Of several years.

so fast The heat is wanted. Be to put in

deal left when you replensh it at night
