BY HIS MAJESTY'S LETTERS PATENT.
THE ROYAL FILTER FOR CISTERNS.

IN submitting the above invaluable Discovery
to the attention of the Public, the Proprietors feel it
incumbent on them to enumerate a few of its leading
characteristics. The prevailing opinion of the impurity,
and consequent insalubrity of the Water supplied to the
Inhabitants of this City, is so well founded, and so amply
borne out by the numerous Testimonials of the most
Eminent of the Metropolitan_ Faculty, and by the recent
communications made by the Commissioners appointed
by Parliament, that any comment in this place would
appear like questioning the national common sense. This
mode of Filtration not only clarifies, but purifies, the
most turbid, fetid, stagnant to endering it of a
crystalline brilliancy, and at e most effectually
destroying both SMELL an STE. Its adaptation to
Cisterns enhances its valuab e qualities, by obviating the
trouble of repeatedly charging it as 'heretofore, and
ensures an. effectual preventive against the possibility of
employing any other Water then that which has passed the
Filter, either for Culinary operations or in fact for any
domestic purposes. The rapidity of the process of Filtra •
tien, stands censpicuous amongst its advantages. The
Proprietors do not (as hitherto has been usual in advertising
Filters) state the precise number of Gallons capable of being
produced; but are enabled confidently to assert that so fast
as the Water is supplied 'at the top of the Filter, so fast
will it discharge itself from the bottom in a highly purified
state.—lts moderate Price, (from Three Guineas upwards,
but rarely exceeding Six, in proportion to the dimensions
of Cisterns) by rendering it attainable to all Housekeepers,
confers a real blessing on Society, by at once removing the
sauce of a multitude of Diseases, which are justly attri-
butable to the noxious particles contained is the Water.
The Prospectus may be had, and Filters, in full opera-
tion, may be inspected, at the Office of the Patentees,
George Robins and others, No. 69, Strand, opposite the
Adelphi Theatre, where Orders ate requested to be
addressed.
