URE WATER, FOR HOUSES AND SHIPS.
THE ROYAL FILTERS,
Sole Office, 163, STRAND, LONDON, opposite the New
Church.

T° 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 animalculze, and to
convert it forthwith into an enlivening wholesome and chrys-
talline beverage like the Mountain Spring, is one of the most
difficult problems of science which 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 characterised by one of the highest
practical authorities, as " THE ONLY EFFECTUAL AND
WHOLESOME MODE OF FILTRATION ;" as a proof of the
fidelity of this remark, it will be sufficient to observe, that
during the prevalence of the fatal fever that has lately per-
vaded 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, subject
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 throughout 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 avail-
able to all branches of the Community, and accordingly the
following scale is submitted to public attention.
