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



IN placing the Electric Necklet before the New Zeeland public the discoverer and propretor bees to draw special attention to the fact that the material snrround ing the inner chain of metallic eubstancra is Impregnated with a chemical solution, harmless In itself, and yet containing timnic Towers, which generate a continuous light enrrent of galvanism, and the Necklet in consequence ail the virtues of a minia'ure battery, and is therefore not a useless article like so many of the so-cal ed electric appliances, which cannot possibly produce any good resulta, as they are incomplete in the most essential requirements, and cannot generate galvanism nor produce gaivanlc effects. This Necklet Is the outcome of a lorg-continued 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 fact that the discovery and invention of these Necklets is announced by Dr Kurateiner 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 new to New Zealand, these Necklets have been used for the last five vears with the moat 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 daring the pahifal period of the teething cf Infants Every day brings loan 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 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 mother who invokes its aid. Ur Kursteiner has appointed Messrs CONFOD * CO., Auckland, his sole ■menta in New Zealand for the sale of these Necklets, from whom only thev can be obtained. The price has hi on placed at the very loa est possible point, point, barely covering the cost cf importation, and is within tho reach of all, as one Neckiet will last a hfe time Aside from its many virtues as a remedial and preventive agent, the Necklet is a handsome ornament, and will be scut free on receipt of One Pound, by postal note, money order, or registered letter.
