Endorsed by the Medical Faculty of Europe, And jprononnoed by all Leading Physicians The Greatest Discovery of the Age IN placing the Electric Necklet before the New Zealand public the discoverer and proprietor bets to draw Special attention to the fa"t (hat the material surround ing the inner chain of metallic substances is Impregnated with a chemical solution, harmless in itself, and yet containing titanic ru®e ra . which generate a continuous light current of galvanism, and the Necklet in consequence contains ail the viituea of a miniature battery, and la therefore not a useless article like so many of the so-oal ed electric appliances, which cannot possibly produce any good results, as they are incomplete in the moat essential requirements, and cannot generate galvanism nor produce galvanic effects. This Necklet la the outcome of a long-continued series of Investigating crperiments 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 loading medical journal of the world, says : —“ The fact that the discovery and Invention of these iNecklets is announced by Dr Kurstelner 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 dally practice. It is needless to comment on the anxious and sleepless nights passed by thousands of mothers during the painful period of the teething cf Infants Every day brings to an untimely grave hundreds of infants whose lives might have been saved by the use of the simple Necklet. In addition to the relief from pain afforded by the Necklet during the period of dentition by its nerve-giving force 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 mother who Invokes its aid. Dr Kursteiner has appointed Messrs CONPOD 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.veat possible point, point, barely covering the cost 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 is a handsome ornament, and will bo sent free on receipt of One Pound, by postal note, money order, or registered letter. No cheques received. Address—J. CONROD&OO., P. O. Box 408, Auckland, N.Z. drink HE 4^* Best Teas e)' Co IN THE o rvS 36$ O'” THOUGH COPIED k BV ALL.
