GEORGE ROBINS'S ROYAL FILTER
FOR CISTERNS, AND PORTABLE FILTERS.
THE Seavoit of the Year is approaching when
-it- the public will have additional reason to congratulate
tbetacelvea upon this important and national invention. So
litany attecapts have been made to mit.lead the good folks of the
Ifetrupolis,hy pretending to core the crying evil of had
without the least pretension, that we were amongst the
tuitzy who remained sceptical as to the pretensions of the
Royal Filter, until we were led•to seek ocular demonstra-
tion by baying one fixed up in a large cistern, and we have
Atrar no Soli, of hesitation in pronouncing it QULTE com--
P„Li"a, and in giving it out UNQUALIFIED PRAISE.
14N names of the highest professional talent in the Metro-
Polit have given the strangest testimony, that they laity be.
‘'''',42i4bsre'cli in the metropolitan city of London as an ab-
""le " God-send," but we will illustrate their opinions
by stubborn facts and proofs as strong as Holy Writ; and
I'l4 let us examine the state of the water, as now drunk
by the thousand and ten thousand persons who have not
yet availed themselves of this Filter, and eur tenders will
beer in mind, that this evidence is supplied from evidence
tiren•last SOBSO/1 in the tainsH HOUSE OF PARLIAMENT.
The following eminent and learned men in their voca-
tions bays given evidence, of which the following is ne-
cessarily a short extraot, viz. :
Slr Henry llaleord, Dr. Hooper, Mr. Kwate, Mr.
'6otitas, Dr. Turner, Drs. Hume, Yates, Kerrison, Sotner
Johnson, and Paris, &c. &c.--they pronounce the
4t sant into their houses to be a filthy fluid, it is saturated
jWith decayed vegetable matters, and other substances pre-
odicial to health ; that such matters in the stomach greatly
soutribute to the production of that state of FAULTY DI-
Q-E4170N and norvapar of BLooD ; that it is 80 FILTIIY
and IMPURE, as to be unfit for the breakfast table ;and
Set' culinary purposes, and that it adds so much to the other
ttawbolesoine censtittunte of bread, as to render every
140411 injurious to the health of thousands ; that the water
tto, t into the eisterns during the hot weather frequently
'ecedne esetrz PCBRID; and they have no doubt that the
eottinued use of it lvEsnoUT FILTERING is capable of pre-
dieing deleterious effects ; that the Thames water is ex-
tveiney bed, feel, dirty, and unwholesome, from the
greet quantity of .71LTily MATTERS CONTINUALLY FOUR-
INTO rr YILOM NUILIIRODy sENVERB ; and Dr. Ker-
risen makes us auquainted with a fact, the perusal of
which will excite the same disgust in the mind of the
reader, as wo ourselves feel in narrating it. On in-
specting the 'Thames near the lending at Chelsea Hospital,
be saw " the foul and black stream from the Ranelagli
tswer, passing between time Company's steam-engine and
Ike Dolphin, LOADED wren NO SMALL P.)1121011 or UNDI-

eoneludes, that " A CONSIDERABLE Q.U...NTITY or HUMAN
iIICRRMIINT, IN A SUBDIVIDED AND UNDEcontrosED
Prase, ACTUALLY FASSEB II:To OUR elsItERNs."
Dr. Somerville, the physician to Cheloeu Hospital, states
thcj water to be very impure. " The tide," he says,

Dr. James Johnson, the author of the " Treatise on In-

'STATURE is a mysterious treasury. It poe.
sews innumerable blessings for human kind, and
produces an anthlote for every disorder incident to the
human frame.—This treasury, with all its invaluable riches,
is the proper study of Medical Seie.iee ; and it requires the
most laborious research to discover and develope all its
various mysteries.

Fur twenty years has our successful experience been
directed to the treatment of a certain class of diseases, and
we pledge ourselves to t e removal of Syphilis, from its in-
cipient symptoms to the remotest stages, characterised by
every doubt and whatever malignancy. The intricate
and much-neglected diseases of Urethra have been carefully
and studiously considered, and have also those delicate and
important sympathies which refer to the Female Sex. The
infirmities of virility bare been especially noticed, whether
as arising from the debilitating tyranny of a tropical atmos-
phere—the natural bias of constitutien—the imprudence of
gaily—or the more alarming results of a propensity to
practices " which shun the light;" the progress of which
is marked by gradual dereliction cf the animal powers.
To all Who are thus circumstanced, and more especially to
such as are aspirants for connubial pleasures, we earnestly
recommend our Commentaries, let, ti,e "2Egis of Lit ,"
for the one Sex ; or, 2d, " flpr'eitina," exclusively ad-
dressed to Females ; the perusal of which must prove bene-
ficial to their moral happiness. These books may be had

Charts finely engraved. 16s. half-bound.
These Charts are constructed to teach History with
' the same facility that Maps do Geography. The difficulty
of giving a connected view of the history of different na-

in a simple and efficacious manner. The chronology of
Archbishop U,ller is adopted as the basis of the work.
