MIL GEORGE ROBINS'S ROYAL FILTER FOR
CISTERNS.
' PORTABLE CISTERNS AND PORTABLE FILTERS OF
ALL DIMENSIONS.
BY HIS MAJESTY'S LETTERS PATENT.
THE prevailing opinion of the Impurity
of the Water supplied to the Inhabitants of this
City, is so well founded, and so amply borne out by the
numerous testimonials of the most eminent of the Metro-
politan Faculty, that any comment in this place would
appear like questioning the national common sense. We
will therefore confine our observations to the evidence
given by Dr. JAMES JOHNSON, and Dr. KERRISON, in
their examination in the House of Commons.
Dr. JAMES JOHNSON, the author of the "Treatise on
) Indigestion," pronounces the water to be disgusting to the
sight, and the effluvia to affect the senses."
And he thus concludes—" We sneer," says the doctor,
" at the delicacy of the Hindoo, who slakes his 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 thou-
sand cloacae, containing EVERY SPECIES OF FILTH AND
ALL UNUTTERABLE THINGS, are daily disgorging their
hideous and abominable contents. It is absolutely asto-
nishing, that in these days of refinement, and in a Metro-
polis whose inhabitants pride themselves on delicacy and
cleanliness, a practice should obtain, at which posterity
will shudder, if they can credit it."
Dr. X ERRISON makes us acquainted with a fact, the
Perusal of which will excite the same disgust in the mind
of the reader, as we ourselves feel ;n narrating it. On in-
specting the Thames near the landing at Chelsea Hospital,
ihe says he saw " the foul and black stream from the Rene-
'ugh sewer, passing between the Company's steam-engine
. and the Dolphin, loaded with no small portion of UNDIVIDED
FLOATING FILTH FROM PRIVIES;” from which he con-
eledes, that "a considerable quantity of human excre-
-112014 in a subdivided and undecomposed state, actually
Passes into our cisterns."
This mode of Filtration not only clarifies, but purifies,
the most turbid, fetid, stagnant water, rendering it of a
crystalline brilliancy, and at the same time most effectually
destroying both SMELL and TASTE. Its adaptation to
Cisterns enhances its valuable qualities, by obviating the
trouble of repeatedly charging it as heretofore, and insures
.t* effectual preventive against the possibility of employing
any other water than that which has passed the Filter,
either for Culinary operations, or in fact for any domestic
IIZP°4Os. The rapidity of the process of Filtration stands
"Picuoue amongst its advantages. The Proprietor does
not
Produced,
the precise number of Gallons capable of being
Willwater but is enabled confidently to assert, that so fast
Wice water is supplied at the top of the Filter, so fast
it dischar e itself from the bottom in a highly puri-
fied state. g
Its
- Moderate Price (from Three Guineas upwards, but
tply exceeding
Six, in proportion to the dimensions of
"Sterns), by rendering it attainable to all Housekeepers,
lifers a real blessing on Society, by at once removing the
b "es of a multitude of diseases, which are justly atiri-
et424 to the noxious particles contained ill the water.
40 accommodate Private Families who desire to have
toportable Filters, it is respectfully suggested that they are
be had of all dimensions, at the Office, in the Strand,
rand are forwarded to all parts of England.
