THE ROYAL FILTER FOR CISTERNS.

PORTABLE FILTERING AND PORTABLE
CISTERNS, No. 69, STRAND.

MR. GEORGE ROBINS respectfully
makes known, that an apology is due to the mul-
titudinous applicants, who have lately had to wait for
their commands being immediately attended to. The ex-
citement produced by this remedy for the wretched, im-
pure, and filthy water, supplied from the Thames, must be
his excuse, and when it is added that 1,200 Filters have
been ordered during the last fortnight, it is believed no
further excuse for delay will be required. To his Agents,
thoughout England, Leland, and Scotland, he flatters him-
self the above will be found a satisfactory reason for the
delay they have recently complained of.
A reference to the opinions of all the eminent men of the
profession in London, renders it superfluous to add their
high testimony to the Royal Filter for remedying all the
imput ities and chrystallizing foul water.

The following will be sufficient for the present pur
pose

- 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 cloaca, 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. KERRISON 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 in narrating it. On in-
specting the Thames near the landing at Chelsea Hospital,
he says he saw " the foul and black stream from the Rane-
lagh sewer, passing between the Company's steam-engine
and the Dolphin, loaded with no small portion of .uNDITIDED
FLOATING FILTH FROM ritivms;" from which he con-
cludes, that "a considerable quantity of human excre-
ment, in a subdivided and undecomposed state, actually
passes into our cisterns."
THE PORTABLE FILTERS,
Possessing all the advantages of purifying and rendering
chrystal the worst water, may be obtained at the following
prices :

2 Gallon Size, purifying 12 Gallons per day ..255.
3 Ditto ditto 18 Ditto
6 Ditto...handsomely ornamented, 40 Ditto 425.
9 Ditto 65 Ditto. 558.
[2 Ditto 90 Ditto. 755.

The Royal Filter, upon this plan, will chrystallize and
purify as much water in the course of the day as the largeht
consumption of a family can desire.

There are also Portable Cisterns, capable of filtering
from 200 to 500 gallons, every 24 hours. These can be
sent to any part of the country.
The Prospectus may be had, and Filters, in full opera-
tion, may be inspected, at the Office of the Patentee,
George Robins, N.?. 69, Straw!, opposite the Adelphi
Theatre, where Orders are requested to he addressed.
