PURE WATER.

THE ROYALuFILTERS,
Sole. Office 163, STRAND; LONDON, opposite the New
Church.

To purify Foul Water like that supplied to the Inhabitants of the
principal Cities and Towns in England, replete with every species
of offal and myriads of animalculm, and to convert it forthwith
into an enlivening wholesome and chrystaline beverage like the
Mountain Spring, is one of the most difficult problems of science
Witio'i thousands in every age and country have attempted in vain,
having produced at best a vapid sickening beverage, till the happy
electro-chymical invention of ROBINS'S ROYAL FILTERS
appeared. This has justly been characterized by one of the
highest practical authorities, as " The only effectual and whole-
some mode of filtration ;" as a proof of the fidelity of this re-
mark, it will be sufficient to observe, that during the prevalence of
the fatal fever that has lately pervaded the Metropolis, not a public
establishment or private residence in which the Royal Filters had
been adopted was visited by the scourge; the advantages of the
discovery has already raised up a host of humble imitators, but it
will be found that all other apparatus are imperfect in action, sub-
ject to constant disarrangement, and in many cases render the use
of the water dangerous to health. It is only necessary to add, that
the Royal Filters are protected: by her Majesty's Letters Patent;
that they have been adopted in all the Royal Residences, the
various branches of the Public Service, her Majesty's Navy, and
the mansions and residences of more than 180,000 families through-
out the Kingdom. To render the invention of general benefit, it
has been proposed to the Patentee by the most influential Members
of the College of Physicians to reduce the prices in order to render
them available to all branches of the community, and accordingly
the following scale is submitted to public attention.

C kUTION.

The Patentee of Robins's Royal Filters having discovered that
various persons have manufactured and vended certain machines
denominated Filters, professing to clear and purify water, placing on
the same, "By her Majesty's Letters Patent" " Patent Royal
Filter," or other words to a similar effect, hereby announces his in-
tention of suing without further notice for the full penalties agree-
able to the late Act of Parliament against all parties so offending,
either as Makers or Vendors, to which he requests the attention of
Country Agents, who may otherwise suffer by vending the piratical
imitations of certain unprincipled and ignorant adventurers ; and
the Patentee earnestly cautions purchasers not to confound the
Royal Filter with any other apparatus ; and in order to guard
against all piracies, to remark that the words
ROYAL FILTER, ROBINS, PATENTEE, LONDON,
are placed on each, that they can be obtained of his agents in all
Towns throughout the Kingdom, and at the
OFFICE, 163, STRAND, LONDON, NEAR SOMERSET-
HOUSE,

wheze the Testimonials of all the most eminent authorities in the
world of science and medicine may be obtained gratis.

FUMERS, 28, Lombard-street, feel it their duty to in-

Persons, with whom they have no connection whatever, directly or
indirectly, are making improper use of Mr. Price's name, by

the Partnership formerly existing between Mr. Price and Mr.
Gosnell was dissolved in 1831, and that they received legal notice
from Mr. Price's solicitor to discontinue the use of his name.

'IA/TESS ItS. S. and B. SOLOMONS, Opticians
...,_VJEL and Aurists, late of Solomon's Terrace, during a profes-
sional experience of thirty years, have had ample opportunities
of verifying that the Organs of Sight and hearing are sympa-
thetically related to each other in such a peculiar manner, that
when the former becomes imperfect, the sense of hearing be-
comes rapidly dull ; this fact is admitted by Scientific Authori-
ties, and must be observable by many thousands of individuals
thus circumstanced, which is deserving the Public's most serious
attention. The Messrs. Solomons, with a view to remedy such an
affection, and after they have devoted their whole lives to this inte-
resting branch o fscience, have succeeded in effecting for imperfect
vision a most scientific improvement in the manufacture of a Trans-
parency for SPECTACLES, and a Preventive and Cure in certain
cases of deafness, and where skill and art has no avail they have in-
vented an OPERATIVE VOICE CONDUCTOR upon a very
small construction, scarcely perceptible, it requires no holding, and
the individual immediately becomes one of the party in the general
conversation. By this important discovery, not only is defectivet
vision brought to nature, but the sense of hearing is restored to is,
original acuteness; those lenses are so constructed and adapted to
weak and imperfect eyesight, upon such scientific principles, com-
bined with the long extensive experience of the Messrs. Solornons,
which will be found to effect such an extent of relief to those af-
flicted with defective vision and dulness of hearing that will far ex-
ceed their utmost and most sanguine expectations. On placing those
lenses before imperfect vision either by day or candle light every
object becomes clear and distinct, and the most minute particle seen
with exact distinctness. The Messrs. Solomons have in their pos-
session, WITIIOUT ONE ExezenoN, Spectacles, and Ear instru-
ments of every kind which are offered to the public by other indivi-

It will be seen by this return that while the total consumption of
Wine has remained nearly stationary, that of French Wine has
steadily and progressively increased, the year ending sth January,
1838, showing the enormous increase of 62 per cent. over that
ending sth January, 1836; this large increase is chiefly attribut-
able to 11asdeu, as is fully proved by the Custom House reports,
and shows, beyond a doubt, that this Wine is well adapted both to
the palate and constitution of English consumers : it must also be
borne in mind that this increase has taken place notwithstanding
Masdeu has never yet (except to a very small extent) been intro-
duced in that ripe and matured state_which age in bottle can alone
impart, for 111asch•u, like all other red wines, requires age, both in
wood and bottle, to render it perfect and fit for the table.
With this view the Proprietors of the Gray's-inn Wine Esta-
blishment (anticipating these results from the intrinsic quality of
the Wine) caused 2,500 dozen to be put in bottle in the year 1835,
and have since annually increasedtheir stock, so that they might be
in the same position with this as with the other Wines in which
they deal, and be enabled to keep up a constant supply of matured
and old bottled Wine. It is now in brilliant condition, with a firm
may be moved without the slightest injury ; and the nobi-
