From DR.. Samuel kiddeT, Of ChdriestoIcn Ms.
This may certify that 1 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, and TO consume during a winter,
while the weather is cold as TO need fire in a
dining room, only one cord ofwood The room
was warm during the day and night, that plants
hourished and grew quite as well as IT they had
been in green house. If could get no other
Air -tg ht Stove, would not take Fifty Dollars for
it,-so highly do value 1t If proper attention is
paid to The door and damper, will venture to say
it will be found the most comfortable, convenient,
and economical Of any stove in / have had
the stove above referred 10 in use about seven
years. (Signedl SAMUEL kIDDER.

On the whole, it is my opinion, that, properly
manufactured, and properly managed no stove is
tight, for studies sleeping apartments, sitting
rooms, and sick chambers. One cord of sound,
dry, hard maple wood, will nearly supply
during the coolest winter, unless IL is very large,
and open and exposed to currents of fresh air from

this cost.

Mr. Spauiding Dear Sir,-I have used for a
few weeks the "Ar-Ti ght Stove as manufactured
by you, and should be unwilling to dispense with
1t for any consideration. single arm-iull ofwood
put in at night in the morning, lasts twenty four
hours, with no further care, except perhaps oc-
casional slight movement of the door, as we may
wish to raise or lower the temperature and in
instance single supply of fuel lasted forty-eight
hours have found it excellent article for
sick room, producing mild and equal tenperature
night and day am confident that convenient
ces heretofore possessed can compare with this in
cases of pulmonary affection, substitute for re-
niova to a southern climate during our severe win
ter seasons.

four doors and three windows, and (the house old)
plenty of cracks and crevces. single armful of
wood has suficed for The coolest "a hours thus far
in the season Z; and without touching the stove in
the meantime, the thermometer at the back part OF
the room is kept within half degree of the same
point for 10 to - hours together. The stove is
large. and is managed according to the directions
NoTIcE TO PURCHASERS. 1t is best to observe
strictly the Patentees directions till you clear IN
see good cause to vary from them. They are the
result of the experience Of several years.
Be sure to put in plenty of wood at a time Af-
ter it is in and charred, ii need be consumed on
SO fast the heat is wanted Be sure to put in e.
nough to last through the day, and have good
deal left when you replenish it at night.
