Two deductions will be at a glance made from an examination
of the Table. One, the great amount of impurity
contained in well-water, and the other that the water we
consume, that of the East London Company, does not stand
out very favourably in comparison with that supplied through
most of the other London Companies. I do not wish it to
be inferred that the impurity of the water supplied by the
East London Company is so great that the water is at present
in any degree unwholesome, but at the same time wish to
point out its inferiority.
