Dr Auguste Kursteiner’s ELECTRO GALVANIC TEETHING NECKLET, Endorsed by the Medical Faculty of Europe, And pronounced by all Leading jPhysiiiina The Greatest Discovery of the Ago IN placing the Electric Necklet before the New 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 la impregnated with a chemical solution, harmless la itself, and yet containing titanic powers, which generate a continuous light current of galvanism, and the Necklet in consequence contains ail the virtue* 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 moat essential requirements, and cannot generate galvanism nor produce galvanic effects. This Necklet Is the outcome of a long-continued series of investigating experiments by that well-known and eminent scientist and specialist, Dr Auguste Kursteiner, who Is the highest Europesn authority on all diseases of women and children The Lancet, the leading medical journal of the world, says : —“ The fsot that the discovery and invention of these Necklets is announced by Dr Kursteiner 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 pa : nful period of the teething of 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 dentitiou, 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 CONROD & CO., Auckland, bis sole agents in New Zealand foe the sale of these Necklets, from whom only they can be obtained. The price has been placed at the very lowest possible point, point, barely covering the cost of importation, and is within the reach of all, as one Neckiet will last a life time. Aside from its many virtues as a remedial and preventive agent, the 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. Addresa-J. CONROD & CO., P.O.
