DR. FRANKLAND’S OPINION. Extract from the Registrar-General’s Report in The Times, October 24th, 18G6. “ The quality of the water supplied in September has been tested, as usual, by Dr. Frankland : he gives a remarkable instance of the effects of filtration [THROUGH ATKINS’S PATENT CISTERN FILTERS] of the East London Company’s water, supplied to the tenants of Baroness Burdett Coutts, in Columbia Square. The organic matter was reduced to the MINUTEST QUANTITY. The hardness from 20° to 7°. The filtration of the water for SEVEN HUNDRED PEOPLE is here performed without the slightest difficulty.” These are the only Filters wTiich can be cleaned by the purchaser, the filtering medium being a porous block of pure animal charcoal, through which the water passes, leaving the impurities on the surface, which has to be cleaned from time to time, according to the amount of impurity in the water. The cleansing is ef- fected by simply washing the block in hot water and scrub- bing it. Glass Bedroom Filters Gs. Glass Table Filters 8«.6.i. & Gloss Table Filters cut and en- graved 15&’. ik 18».
