Dr Auguste Kursteiner’s ELECTRO GALVANIC TEETHING NECKLET, Endorsed by the Medical Faculty of Europe, And pronounced by all Leading Physhians The Greatest Discovery of the Age



IN placing the Electric Necklet before the Neve Zealand public the discoverer and proprietor begs to draw special attention to the fact that the material surround ing the inner chain of metallic substances is Impregnat'd with a chemical solution, harmless In itself, and yet containing ibanio powers, which generate a continuous light current of galvanism, and the Necklet in consequence contains ail the virtues of a miniature battery, and is therefore not a useless article like so many of the so-called electric appliances, which cannot possibly produce any good results, as they are Incomplete In the most essential requirements, and cannot generate galvanism nor prodace galvanic effects. This Necklet is the outcome of a long-contlnued series of Investigating experiments by that well-known and eminent scientist and specialist, Dr Auguste Kurstelner, who is ihe highest European authority on all diseases of women and children The Lancet, the leading medical journal of the world, says “ The fset that the discovery and Invention of these Necklets is announced by Dr Knrstolner is a sufficient guarantee that a means has at last been discovered which will save the lives of millions of children, and relieve the anxiety of many mothers.” Although new to New Zealand, these Necklets have been used for the last five years with the most Wonderful Success In England, on the Continent, and in the United States, and are now constantly prescribed by the most eminent physicians In their daily practice. It is needless to comment on the anxious and sleepless nights passed by thousands of mothers during the painful period of the teething of Infants. Every day brings to an untimely grave hundreds of infanta whose lives might have been saved by the use of the simple Necklet. In addition to the relief from pain afforded 1 f til* N icklet daring the period of dentition, by its nerve-giving force It wards oft a,, prevents Measles, Whooping Cough, Scarlet Fever, Croup, and Chicken Pox, thus relieving childhood of its martyrdom, and gladdening the heart of every mother who Invokes its aid. Dr Kurstelner has appointed Messrs CONPOD * CO., Auckland, his solo agents in New Zealand for the sale of these Necklets, from whom only they can be obtained. The price baa beea placed at the very lowest possible point, point, barely covering the coat of 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, the Necklet i a handsome ornamoot, and will be sent free on receipt of One Pound, by poata note, money order, or registered letter. No cheques received. ■* Address— J OONROD & CO., P.O. Box 408, Auckland, N.Z.

SPECIAL NOTICE. DURING the past twelve months five jewelers ia Christchurch have either filed or been compelled to close their shops, and now some of the old established firms are advertising “ selling off ” s .les to reduce their stock, and as they state they never had a sale, some for 10 years, others as long as 28 years a 1)0, the only stock they can offer is only an accumulation of old stock during alt these years, which is fit for nothing el*e but the ma'liag pot. This clearly shows that the ' public will no longer support the old system of retail business. Ihe ordinary retail dealers have to buy their goods fr< m the wholesale merchants here, and then have to pay heavy expenses, and so are obliged to charge exorbi tant profits to try and cover all these extra expenses.
