Dr Auguste Kursteiner’s ELECTRO GALVANIC TEETHING NECKLET, Endorsed by the Medical Faculty of Europe, And pronounced by all Leading Phyei ims The Greatest Discovery of the Ago IN placing the Electric Necklet before the New Zealand public the discoverer and proprietor bees to draw Special 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 thanio 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-cal'ed electric appliances, which cannot possibly produce any good results, as they are incomplete in the most essential requi ements, and cannot generate galvanism nor produce galvanic effects. This Necklet U the outcome of a long-continued series of investigating experiments by that well-known and eminent scientist and specialist, Dr Augusta Kursteiner, who is the highest Europesn 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 Kursteiner is a sufficient guarantee that a means has at last been discovered which will save the lives of millions of children, and relievo 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 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 {ainful 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 j 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, his sole events in New Z island 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 c ivering 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 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 408, Auckland, N.Z.
