°(:)IIGE ROBINS'S ROYAL FILTER 1,011

CISTERNS,
„ And Portable Filters of all Dimensions.
tu.tsY HIS MAJESTY'S LETTERS PATENT.
1:11E prevailing opinion ofthe impurity of the
,„
Water supplied to the Inhabitants of this City, is
W 441 founded, and so amply borne out by the numerous
Testimonials of the most Eminent of the Metropolitan
Abash
Lk Y., that any comment in this place would appear
the questioning the national common sense. We will
zlfore confine our observations to the evidence given by
miq• joies Josussost and Dr. KERRISON, in their exa-
ation in the House of Commons.
James JOHNSON, the author of die " Treatise on
Indigestion," pronounces the water to be disguatine:to the
60; and the effluvia to affect the senses.
And he thus concludes—" We sneer," says the doctor,
"at the delicacy of the Hindoo, who slakes Lis thirst at
the same tank where his neighbour is sacrificing to Cloacina ;
but what shall we say to the delicate citizens
of Westmin-
ster, who fill their tanks and stomachs with water from
the Thames, at that very spot into which a hundred then-
Sand &ace, containing AVERY mons or FILTH AND
3LL UNUTTERABLE THINGS, are daily di,gorging their
hideous and abominable contents. It is absolutely asto-
*siting, that in these days of refinement, and in a Metro-
kB whose inhabitant pride themselves on delicacy and
•loatiliness, a practice should obtain, at which posterity
Will shudder, if they can credit it."
Dr. KERRIE/1Y makes us acquainted with a fact, the
lie.ressl of which will excite the same disgust in the mind
'" the reader, as we ourselves feel in narrating it. Ou in-
-I°lttiog the Thames near the landing at Chelsea Hospital,
he s• ays he saw " the foul and black stream from the Rane-
ggh sewer, passing between the Company's steam-engine
rd the Dolphin, loaded with no small portion of ortnivinen
4,142,4444 a FI LT M FROM ratviEs;" from which lie con-
Th""'", that "a considerable quantity of human excre-
-226", in a subdivided and unclecomposed state, actually
.-"sseet into our cisterns."
th' this mode of Filtration not only clarifies, but purifies,
e most turbid, fetid, stagnant water, rendering it of a
l:4line brilliancy, and at the same time most effectually
i., °ring both SMELL and TASTE. Its adaptation to
tr'rlist‘bi_s enhances its valuable qualities, by obviating the
mares le of repeatedly charging it as heretofore, and
an effeetual preventive against the possibility of
1:11'1'744g any other Water than that which has passed the
d 0
t 7; either for Culinary operations, er in fact for any
ti47"tio purposes. The rapidity of the process of Filtra-
. o,atenda conspicuous amongst its advantages. The Pro-

%lifers a real blessing on Society, by at once removing the

%table to the nexiouit particles contained in the Water.
To accommodate Privates Families who desire to have
