LONDON AND GENERAL W ATER
PURIFYING COMPANY (Limited).
PATENT CISTERN FILTER, charged solely with animal
charcoal. The latest patented Filter in general use, and requir-
ing, when once fixed, no attention whatever. Patronised and
used by her Majesty the Queen at Osborne, by H.R.H. the Duke
of Cambridge, the elite of the Medical Profession, and at the
Fusilier Guards', Middlesex, St. George's, German, and London
Hospitals, and at the Regent's Park and Tower Barracks, and
numerous institutions, breweries, &c.
Professor Frankland, F.R.S., in hia analysis of the waters for
December, 1865, in the report to the Registrar-General, states,
"With regard to the filtration of this water (New River) through
animal charcoal, it will be observed that, although the total daily
domestic supply of a house on Haverstock Hill has passed
through the same filter for seven months, the animal charcoal
still retains practically unimpaired its power of abstracting or-
ganic impurities."
•," The above Filter was supplied by this Company.
The Filters may be seen in operation, and full particulars ob-
tained on application to the Secretary, at the Offices,
157, STRAND, LONDON, W.C. (FOUR DOORS FROM
