George Jameson aoent asububto 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 Physi.iana 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 is Impregnated with a chemical solution, harmless in itself, and yet containing liiaulo rowers, which generate a continuous light current 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-called electric appliances, which cannot possibly produce any good results, os they are incomplete in the most essential requirements, and cannot generate galvanism nor prodace 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 Auguste Kurstelner, who is the highest Kuropesn 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 rears 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 housands of mothers during the jarful period of the teething of Infants Every lay brings to an untimely grave hundreds of infants whose lives might have been laved by the use of the simple Necklet. In addition to the reliet from pain afforded by the Necklet during the period >f dentition, by its nerve-giving force it wards off and prevents Measles, Whooping [lough. 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 sola icents in New Zealand for the sale of these Necklets, from whom only hev can bo obtained. The price has been placed at the very lowest possible point, ■mint, barely covering the cost of importation, and is within the roach of all, as one Neckiet*wlll last a life time. Aside from its many virtues as a remedial and preventive agent, the Necklet Is i handsome ornament, and will be sent free on receipt of One Pound, by portal rote, money order, or registered letter.
