I. 8 » n k y n IB r e s. a s. :e a. a :e u e- ot of IN placing the Electric Necklet before the New Zealand public the discoverer and propr etor begs to draw special attention to the fact that the material surround ing the inner chain cf metallic substances is Impregnated with a chemical solution, harmless in itaelf, and yet containing Manic rowers, which generate a continuous light ortrent of galvanism, and the Necklet in consequence contains ail the virtue* of »miniature battery, and is therefore not a useless article like so many of the so-osl 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 gaivanlo effects. This Necklet is the outcome of a long-continued series of investigating experiments by that well-known and eminent scientist and specialist, Dr Augusts Kursteiner, who is the highest Kuropesn authority on all diseases of women and children The Lanc*t, 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.” Althonoh 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 anxions and sleepless nights passed by thousands of mothers during the y amful period of the teething cf Infants. Every day brings to an untimely grave hundreds of infants whoso lives might have been saved by the use of the simple Necklet. Tn addition to the relief from pain afforded by the Necklet doting the period of dentition, by its nerve-g : ving force it wards off and prevents Measles, Whooping Cough Scarlet Fever, Croup, and Chicke-i 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 agents in New Z saland for the sale of these Necklets, from whom only they can be obtained. The price has bran placed at the very lowest possible point, point, barely covering the coat of importation, and is within the reach of all, a« one Necklet wiil last a life time. Aside from its many virtues as a remedial and preventive agent, the Necklet it a handsome ornament, and will be sent free on receipt of One Pound, by postal note, money order, or registered letter.
