tt ORGB ROBINS'S ROYAL FILTER
tbR CISTERNS, AND PORTABLE FILTERS.
H E Season of the Year is approaching when
the public Will have additional reason to congratulate
themselves upon this important and national invention. So
many attempts have been nude to mislead the good folks of the
Merropolie,by pretending to cure the crying evil of bad water,
Withentt the least pretension, that we were amongst the
teary who remained sceptical as to the pretensions of the
Royal Filter, until we were led to seek ocular demonstra-
tion by having one fixed up in a largo cistern, and we have
.
now no aort,4/..laesitiatioa, ,in-prettouncing •QuiTst co st-
Ptirit, Ind in giving it one. UNQUALIFIED PRAISE.
'The names of the highest professional talent in the Metro-
polis have given the strongest testimony, that they may be
considered, in the metropolitan city of London as an ab-
'solute e, nod-send," hot we will illustrate their opinions
by stubborn facts and proofs as strong as Holy Writ; and
first ha na examine the state of the water, as now drank
4' the tbtin.stid and ten thousand persons who have not
'Yet availed themselies of this Filter, and our readers will
hear in mind, that this evidence is supplied from evidence
given last season in the BRITISH HOUSE OF PARLIAMENT.
The following eminent and learned men in their voca-
tions have given evidence, of which the following is ne-
cessarily a short extract, via. :
Sir Henry Halford, Dr. Hooper, Mr. Keate, Mr.
Thomas, Dr. Turner, Drs. Hu•ne, Yates, Kerrison, Somer-
ailles Johnson, and Paris, &c, &c.—they pronounce the wa-
ter tent into their houses to be a filthy fluid, it is saturated
with decayed vegetable matters, and other substances pre-
jndicial to health ; that such matters in the stomach greatly
contribute to the prodection of that state Of FAULTY DI..
GESTION and riktrusimr Of BLOOD; that it is SO FILTHY
end IMfURE, as to be unfit for the breakfast table and
for enlinary purposes, and that it adds so much to the other
unwholesome constituents of bread, as to render every
• meal injurious to the health of thousands ; that the water
sent into the cisterns daring the hot weather frequently
became QUITE PUTRID; and they have no donbt that the
continued use of it WITHOUT FILTERING is capable of pro-
ducing deleterious effects ; that the Thames water is ex-
tremely bad, foul, dirty, and unwhplesome, from the
treat quantity of FILTHY MATTERS CONTINUALLY POUR-
b., INTO IT FROM NUMESOUS !swans ; and Dr. Ker-
rison makes us acquainted with a feet, the perusal of
Which will excite the same disgust in the mind of the
reader, as we ourselves feel in narrating it. On in-
specting the Thames near the landing at Chelsea Hospital,
he saw 4. the foul and black stream from the Ranelagh
sewer, passing between the Company's steam-engine and
the Dolphin, LOADED WITH NO SMALL PORTION OF UNDI-
VIDED FLOATING FILTH FROM PRIVIES;" from which he
concludes, that "A CONSIDERABLE QUANTITY OF HUMAN
EXCREMENT, IN A SUBDIVIDED AND UNDECOMPOSED
STATE, ACTUALLY PASSES INTO OUR CISTERNS."
Dr. Somerville, the physician to Chelsea Hospital, states
the water to be very impure. " The tide," he says,
" STIRS UP THE MASS OF IMPURITY PRODUCED BY ALL
SHAT IS CORRUPTIBLE IN THE ANIMAL AND VEGETABLE
WORLD, TOGETHER WITH THE NOXIOUS FILTH OF GAS AND
"WEE MANUFACTORIES, THAT CONSTANTLY FLOW INTO
THE THAMES FROM PATTERSEA DOWN TO GRAVESEND.'
Dr. James Johnson, the author of the "Treatise on In-
• digeetion" says—" We sneer at the delicacy of the
,Ilindoo, who slakes his thirst at the same tank where
• Di; neighbour is sacrificing to Cloacina ; but what shall
Ive say to the DELICATE CITIZENS OF WESTMINSTER,
*YR! FILL THEIR TANKS AND STOMACHS WITH WA-
-1114. FROST THE THAMES, AT THAT VERY sroT INTO
WHICH A HUNDRED THOUSAND CLOACA, CONTAINING
Xvtity SPECIES OF FILTH, AND ALL UNUTTERABLE
THINGS, ARE DAILY DISGORGING THEIR HIDEOUS AND
ABOMINABLE CONTENTS.
The last professional gentleman to whose evidence we
Shall refer, is Dr. Paris, the author of the popular work
Diet, He pronounces the water to be impure and
offensive, and says that it stinks shortly after it has come
LARGE QUANTITIES OF MATTER ARE MECHANICALLY
IespENDICT) IN IT. "As A PHYSICIAN," he says, "I CAN-
"ter FIND TERMS SUFFICIENTLY EXPRESSIVE OF THE AW-
FUL EFFECTS IT MAY BE LIKELY TO PRODUCE UPON THE
HEALTH, AND EVEN LIVES, OF THE INHABITANTS OF THE
Itersorot.ts " And in the last edition of his work 1w
Roes still further, and asserts, that if a remedy be not lip-
Plied tO the evil, " THE RAVAGES OF SOME EPIDEMIC
MAY BE FAIRLY ANTICIPATED."
SUCH IS THE PICTURE—THE FAITHFUL AND FRIGHT.
PICTURE.....-OF THE CONDITION OF THE WATER OF THE
THAMES, AS SUPPLIED BY THE COMPANIES TO THEIR
cestoarees. That the inhabitants of the richest, largest,
'lost populous city in the world—the seat of a more opu-
lent body of nobility and gentry than is to be found in
any other Metropolis—should, for so long a time, have
been contented to have SEEN DAILY RUNNING INTO THEIR
CISTERNS, AND TO HAVE USED, FOR, ALL DOMESTIC AND
CULINARY PURPOSES, A NECESSARY OF LIFE, SO LOADED
WITH ALL SORTS OF IMPURITIES AS TO BE PRONOUNCED,
BV PROFESSIONAL MEN OF THE FIRST EMINENCE, TO RE
°PFENSIVE TO THE SIGHT, disgusting to the imagination,
and destructive to the health, is a fact that would not
have been credited, and that ought not to have been
trrdited, but upon evidence unanswerable.
