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 Phyei.ians The Greatest Discovery of the Ago IN placing the Electric Necklet before the New Zealand public the discoverer and proprietor bees to draw ~pecial attention to the fact that the material surround ing the inner chain of metallic substances is Impregnated with a chemical solution, harmless in itself, and yet containing tbanio which generate a continuous light enrront 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-oal ed 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 long-continued series of investigating experiments by that well-known and eminent scientist and specialist, Dr Augusta Kurstelner, who is the highest European authority on all diseases of women and children The Lancst, the leading medical journal of the world, says ;—“ The fact that the discovery and invention of these Necklets is announced by Dr Knrsteiner 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 roost Wonderful Success in England, on the Continent, and in the United States, and are now constantly prescribed by the moat eminent physicians In their daily practice. It is needless to comment on the anxious and sleepless nights parsed by thousands of mothers during the ja : nfnl period of the teething cf infants. Every day brings to an untimely grave hundreds of infants whose lives might have been saved by the uae of the simple Necklet. In addition to the relief from pain afforded by the Necklet daring 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 Knrsteiner has appointed Messrs CONHOD CO., Auckland, his sole agents in New Zsaland for 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 coat 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. Address-J CONROD&CO., P.O. Box 4JB, Auckland, N.Z.
