GEORGE ROBINS'S ROYAL FILTER FOR
CISTERNS,
And Portable Filters of all Dimensions.
I3Y HIS MAJESTY'S LETTERS PATENT.
THE prevailing opinion of the impurity of the
Water supplied to the Inhabitants of this City, is
It'en founded, and so amply borne out by the numerous
p mitnonials of the most Eminent of the Metropolitan
Lit " tY, that any comment in this place would appear
questioning the national common sense. We will
therefore confine our observations to the evidence given by
lir. huts JouxsoN and Dr. KERRISON, in their exa-
nliattion in the House of Commons.
Dig3r• hams JOHNSON, the author of the " Treatise on
es ti on ," pronounces the water to be disgusting to the
fight, and the effluvia to affect the senses.
:, And he thus concludes—" We sneer," says the doctor,
1141 the delicacy of the Hindoo, who slakes his thirst at
b 4200 tank where hie neighbour is sacrificing to Cloacina ;
" What shall we say to the delicate citizens of Westmin-
:l", ,Who MI their tanks and stomachs with water from
see Thames, at that very spot into which a hundred thou-
elOaCte, containing EVERY SPECIES or FILTH AND
hi UNUTTERABLE Turmas, are daily dihgorging their
„°,1% and abominable contents. It is absolutely ago-
bZig, that in these days of refinement, and in a Metro-
W."' whose inhabitants pride themselves on delicacy and
~.:-,4llliness, a practice should obtain, at which posterity
shudder, if they can credit it."
m......_i`"`"' br''XlK USON makes us acquainted with a fact, the
`-')foirliieh will excite the same disgust in the mind
of the reader, as we ourselves feel in narrating it. On in.
rWestin g
t the Thames near the landing at Chelsea Hospital,
lays he saw " the foul and black stream from the Rene-
48h sewer, passing between the Company's steam-engine
rd the Dolphin, loaded with no small portion of UNDIVIDED
uCOATING /FILTH FROM PRIVIES;" from which he con-
ses, that " a considerable quantity of human exere-
", in a subdivided and undecomposed state, actually
Posed into our cisterns."
th This mode of Filtration not only clarifies, but purifies,
e Most turbid, fetid, stagnant water, rendering it of a
epatalline brilliancy, and at the same time most effectually
e",.,_rotr6Ying both SMELL and TASTE. Its adaptation to
t L• enhances its valuable qualities, by obviating the
%._""nule of repeatedly charging it as heretofore, and
Zrolt an effectual preventive against tie possibility of
Turing any other Water than that which has passed the
either for Culinary operations, or in fact for any
ti elmcpoees. The rapidity of tie process of Filtra-
pltXtands conspicuous amongst its advantages. The Pro-
urdoes nOt state the precise number of Gallons capable of
d 1 Produced ; but is enabled confidently to assert that so
IsijiaB the Water is supplied at the top of the Filter, so fast
t4' it discharge itself from the bottom in a highly purified
bl,tte---Its moderate Price, (from Three Guineas upwards,
tar tar* exceeding Six, in proportion to the dimensions
toriejaterns) by rendering it attainable to all Honsekeepers,
f6ra a real blessing on Society, by at once removing the
14,6,..6t,f a multitude of Diseases, which are justly attri-
-71.01e to the noxious particles contained in the Water.
" Itconmusodate Private Families who desire to have
t 7table Filters, it is respectfully suggested th it they are
