AN INEXPRESSIBLE BOON TO MOTHERS. Dr Auguste Kursteiner’s ELECTRO GALVANIC TEETHING NECKLET, Endorsed by the Medical Faculty of Europe, And pronounced by all Leading Physi.ians The Greatest Discovery of the Ago IN pricing the Electric Necklet before the New Zealand public the discoverer and proprietor bees to draw ■ pccial attention to the fa't (hat the material surround ing the inner chain c.f metallic substances is Impreunab’d with a chemical solution, harmless in itself, and yet containing (Panic powers, which generate a continuous light current of galvanism, and the Necklet in consequence contains ail the vhtues of a miniature battery, and la therefore not a useless article like so many of the so-cabed electric appliances, which cannot possibly produce any good results, as they are Incomplete in the most essential requirements, and cannot generate galvanism nor produce galvanic effects. This Necklet Is the outcome of a ! mg-continued series of investigating experiments by that well-known and eminent scientist and specialist, Dr Augusta Kursteiner, who is the highest European authority on all diseases of women and children The Lanckt, the leading medical journal of the world, says “ The fact that the discovery and invention of these Necklets is announced by Dr Kursteiner is a sufficient guarantee that a means has at lest been discovered which will save the lives of millions of children, and relieve the anxiety of many mothers ” Although now to New Zealand, these Necklets have been used for the last five years with the moat Wonderful Success in England, on the Continent, and in the United States, and are now constantly proscribed by the most eminent physicians In their daily practice. It Is needless to comment on tho anxious and sleepless nights passed by thousands of mothers during the rahiful period of tho teething cf Infants. Every day brings to an un(imely grave hundreds of infants whose lives might have been saved by the use of the simple Necklet. In addition to the reliel from pain afforded by tho Necklet during the period of dentition by its nerve-giving fores it wards off and prevents Measles. Whooping Cough, Scarlet Fever, Croup, and Chicken Pox, thus relieving childhood of its martyrdom, and gladdening the heart of every nuttier who invokes its aid, Ur Kursteiner has appointed Messrs CONFOD .t CO., Auckland, his sole agents in New Zealand for the sale of these Necklets, from whom only they can be obtained. The price has been placed at the very lo.vest possible point, point, barely covering the cost cf importation, and is within the reach of all, as one Necklet will last a life time. Aside from its many virtues as a remedial and preventive agent, tho Necklet is a handsome ornament, and will be sent free on receipt of One Pound, by postal note, money order, or registered letter. No cheques received. Address- J CONROD & CO., P.O- B x 18, Auckland, N.Z.
