GEORGE ROBINS'S ROYAL FILTER
fiOR ClB'll/IINS, AND PORTABLE FILTERS.
HE Season of the Year is approaching when
3 1Q PRblie Will hare additional reason to congrandate
'l''l4" "Nn this important and national invention. So
‘ty attempts have been made to mislead the good folks of the
tn.ll.°Pelie, by pretending to cure the erring evil of had water,
.:",t the leak pretension, that we were amongst the
).^7 who remained sceptical as to the pretensions of the
~.13Yal Filter, until we were led to seek ocular dernonstra-
'4l Iby having one fixed up is a large cistern, and we have
no sort of h
woo in pronouncing it QUPPE COM-
-1111; "id in giving it OUR IniQUALIVIED PRA LAC.
HAIM'S of the highest professional talent in the Metro-
..4l have given the strongest teetimony, that they stay be
lered, in the metropolitan eity of London as an ab-
-114
" GrA-eend," bat we will illustrate their opinions
' 'tabitern hoes and proof,/ as strong as Moly Writ; and
let no examine the state of the water, as now drank
the thousand and ten thousand persons who hare not
t availed themselves of this Filter, and ear rcatler,3 will
'4' in mind, that this evidence is supplied from evidence
lavt sworn en ale BRITISH HOUSE OF PARLIAMENT.
The following eminent sod learned men in their Tom-
'4% have given evidence, of which the following is no-
"satily a short extract, viz. :
,Nr Henry lialford, Dr. Hooper, Mr. Keefe, Mr.
Nates, Dr. Turner, Dra. Hama, Yates, Kerrison, Some r-
'l, Johnson, and Paris, &e. &e,---they pronounce the wa-
r %at into their laotseee to be a filthy fluid, it h eaturated
lit decayed vegetable matters, and other eubetances pre-
-44.41 to b°alth ; that such matters in the stomach greatly
tribute to the production of that este of FAULTY DI-
tHION and HAIPURITT of ELOOD ; that it is so FILTHY
1111 TEE, M to be unfit for the breakfast table nd
%Unary parposes and that it arida AO mush to the other
It'h°ltioree constitnente of breed, as to render every
‘l.injuriono to the health of thoneands ; that the water
tato the westerns during the hot weather frequently
ttie Q./tem etrram; and they have no rionht that the
4iatiell nee of it WITHOUT FILTERING is capable of
iwo-
del4tvrions eirerts ; that the Thames water is ex-
:"lY bed, foul, dirty, and unwholesome, from the
quantity of FILTHY 3IATTERB CONTINUALLY POUR-
INTO IT FROM NUMEROUS CAMERA; and Dr. Ker-
maim/ HE tirquaintesi with a foot, the perusal of
,1611 will exeite the some disgest in the mind of the
