IL ventor (Dr Kidder) of this economical and
useful instrument deserves the thanks Of the gas
consuming community The saving effected by
the use of it will be found fully IS per cent. in ev
cry persons gas bill. 1t can be so adjusted as to
supply the gas at any desired pressure less than
that OF the street, and when once adjusted, the
Regulator viii continue TO supply the gas at that
pressure uniformly without requiring further care
or attention, and independent of all the fuctua-
tons of the street pressure. An additional advan-
tage obtained by this Regulator is light of more
agreeable qualify, in place of the blush white
color of the ordinary gas light, occasioned by the
high pressure al which the gas is consumed. As
evidence Of its practical utility, is in OPP

stores in New York city, who all bear favorable
testimony to its value. II has also received the
united commentators of the press.

challenge the admiration of foreign criticism, is
success of which the publishers are proud.

greater favor They still believe rs they said at
