GEORGE ROBINS'S ROYAL FILTER
FOR CISTERNS, AND PORTABLE FILTERS.
THE Season or the Year is approaching whe..
the public have additional reason to congratulate
the the
upon this important and national invention. So
M,..aoy attempts have been roade to mislead the good folks of the
Metropolis, by pretending to cure the crying evil of had water,
without the lea,t pretc Ision, that we were amongst the
n'"ey who remained sceptical as to the pretensions of the
Royal Filter, until we were led to seek ocular dernonst ra-
tint' by having one fixed up in a large cistern, and we have
pow nu ,net of hesitation in pronouncing it QUITE coat-
"B' and in givine. it OUR I7NQUALIFIED PRAISE.
The names of the highest professional talent in the Metro-
polis have given the strongest tc_3itiniony, that they play be
considered, in the metropolitan city of London as an ab-
:*nlote " God send," but we will illustrate their opinions
,°Ytehborn fac'n and proofs as strong as Holy Writ
"1111
filet let ns examine the state of the water, as now drank
by the thousand and ten thousand persons who have not
yet availed themselves of this Filter,P and ear readers will
bear in mind, that this evidence is supplied from evidence
given last season it, the BRITISH HOUSE OF PARLIAMENT.
t' Thefollowing eminent and learned men in their voca-
°"
Tav° given evidence, of which the following is ne-
cessarily a short extract viz.
Sir Henry Halford, Dr. Hooper, Mr. Keate, Mr.
Thema; Dr. Turn-r, Drs. Hume, Yates, Kerrison, Somer-
vt int, Johnson, and Paris, &e. &c.—they pronounce the wa-
er sent into their holoea to he a filthy it is saturated
with decayed vegetable matters, and other substances pre-
indivild to health ; that such matters in the stomach greatly
"'tribute to the production of that state of FAULTY DI-
"iSTION and IMPURITY of BLOOD; that it is SO FILTMY
:44 IMPuRr, as to be unfit for the breakfast table and
tilt vnlinary purposes, and that it adds so lunch to the other
tlowholesoine conatitnents of bread, as to render every
44%1 injorions to the health of thousands ; that the water
rnt into the cisterns doting the hot weather frequently
ems ntllTlt PUTRID ; and they have no doubt that the
ei"tioned nee of it WITHOUT FILTERING is capable of pro-
deleterions elTert3 ; that the Thames water is ex-
'rernelY had, foul, dirty, and unwholesome, from the
grisat quantity of FILTHY MATTERS CONTINUALLY point-
"; rr FROM NUMEROUS SEWERS; and Dr. Ker-
R}°e tnalctsa ns acquainted with a fact, the Tr usal of
Witch will excite the same disgust in the Mind of the
re'ader, as we onrselves feel in narrating it. On in-
?"tiog the Thamem near the landing at Chelsea Hospital,

irer, pet-eing between the Company's eteam-engine and

"'naiades, that " A COESIDEItABLE QUANTITY Or HUMAN
i'l.,e4"R", IN A SUBDIVIDED AND UNDF:COMPOSED
8—l1,) ACTUALLY PASSES INTO our. CISTERNS."
br. Somerville, the physician to Chelsea Hospital, states
ci'tt Water to be very impure. " The title," he says,
