SIr. Fessende.v — Sir, 1 have, for the last six months, made 

 use oi your quart I^amp Boiler. It is the most convenient, 

 cleanly, e.xpcdilious and economical method I have ever made 

 use of for preparing Infusions. Syrups, or Ointments. I have 

 made several e.xperiments and found that in ten minutes it w-ili 

 boil one quart ol water. The quantity of alcohol consumed is 

 but 1 oz., the expense, 1 cent, i consider your apparatus, nov. 

 I have liecome accustomed to it, as almost indispensable. It 

 may be, I think, also very ustiful in a nursery, a sick chamber. 

 or for culinary purposes. Your gallon boiler I have also used, 

 and find it to answer equally well, where larger quantities ate 

 to be hcateil. 



"Your obedient servant, 



" JOSEPH KIDDER, Druggist. 

 '•• Boston, Feb, 26, 1C27." 



"Mr. Fr,ssF.Ni5EN — We the subscribers fully accord will, 

 Mr Kidder, in his opinion of the utility, cheapness and despatch 

 attending the use ot your Lamp Boiler, for tlie purposes he ha^ 

 mentioned. Signed, Reed & Howard; Ebenezer Wight ;

 Brewer and Brothers ; Gregg and Hollis, Edward Thorn- 

 dike; James Fowle; and a numof.-r of others, including nearly 

 all the Druggists in Boston. 



The undersigned has had in use for several weeks, Blr 

 Thomas G. Fessenden's " Lamp Boiler." It is so constructed 

 Ihat little if any of the heat of the lamp crni possibly escape, un- 

 less it be through the fluid in the boiler ; atid if alcohol be used 

 in the lamp, the contents of the boiler w-ill rise to the boiling 

 point quicker than in any other apjiaralus which has as yet 

 come to the observation of the undersigned. The apparatus 

 is neatly constructed, and combines economy and utility. It is 

 ofinfuiite advantage in the formation of syrups, decoctions and 

 infusions ; and the princi)»le can be so applied as to be of grent 

 service in ihe laboratory, as well as in the apothecarv's shop.

. It was observed by Count Kumford, in one of his Economical 

 Ess.iys, that, " It is a curious fact, but is nevertheless most cer- 

 tain, "that, in some cases, spirits of wine is cheaper, -when cm- 

 ployed as fuel, even than wood." This assertion will apply 

 with more force, when alchohol is burnt in this apparatus, than 

 in am" method of consuming it described by Count Humford, or 

 known at the time hu wrote. The boiler is constructed so as to con- 

 fine n current of hot ail and tlame toils bottom aiid sides, agaius [ 

 which it is forcibly driven, forming an air furnace in miniature.
