AN INEXPRESSIBLE BOON TO MOTHERS. Dr Auguste Kursteiner's \ ELECTRO GALVANIC TEETHING NECKLET ; Endorsed by the Medical Faonlty of Europe, And pronounced by al Leading Physicians The Greatest Discovery of the Age IN placing the Eleotrip Ncoklet before the New Zealand public the discoverer and proprietor begs to draw Special attention to the fact that the material surround- ing the inner ohain of metallio substances is impregnated with a chemical solution, harmless m itself, and yet containing titanic povrers, which generate a continuous light onf rent of galvanism, and the Necklet la consequence contains all the virtues of a miniature battery, and Is therefore,not a useless article like so many of the so-called electrio appliances, which cannot possibly produce any good results, as they are incomplete m the most essential requirements, and cannot generate galvanism not produce galvanic effeots. ! This Neoklet is the outcome of a long-continued series of Investigating experiments by that well-known and eminent scientist and specialist, De Aoguste Kursteiner, who is the highest Europesn 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 fteoklets Is announced by Dr Kuratelner is a sufficient guarantee that a means has at IBBt 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 most Wonderful Success m 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 parsed by thousands of mothers during the painful period of the teething of Infants. Every day brings to an untimely grave hundreds of infants whose lives might have been saved by the use of the simple Neoklet. In addition to the relief; from pain afforded by the Necklet during the period of dentitiou, by its nervp-givfrg force it; wards off and prevents Measles, Whooping Cough, Scarlet Fever, Croup, and Chicken Pox, thus relieving ohlldhood of its martyrdom, and gladdening the heart of every mother who invokes Its aid, Dr Kursteiner has appointed Mesera CONROD & CO., Auokland, hia sole agents m New Zealand for the sale of these Necklets, from ffhom only they can be obtained. The price has been placed at the very lowest possible point, point, bsrely covering the cost of importation, and is within the reach of ail, as one Necklet will last a life time. Aside from its many virtues as a remedial and preventive agent, the Neoklet 1 a handsome ornament, and will be sent free on receipt of One Pound, by posta note, money order, or registered letter. No oheques received. Address-J. CONROD & CO., ■ < P.O. Box 408, Auokland, N.Z. "" i DIPPIHC* SEASON, 1887. ;.

No Farmer valuing Glean rSeed can aff to co without a EACINE IAN MILL. Practical Farmers have pronounced it the Best— read TESTIMONIALS below. While it has capacity to Clean from 60 to 99 bushels per hour. Ho. 1 FARM MILL Is 2ft Bin over all, and is furnished with one Wheat Hurdle, one Wheat Screen and Grader with Eide spout, one Barley Sieve, and one Oat Sieve. Sieves for other purposes famished and charged for as extras. F. FERSIMAN. FFEBBIMAN wonld call your attention • to this Improved Farm Fanning Mill which combines all the advantages of the various Mills now m use, and also the follow- ing impottaut and greatly needed Improve- menta: — FißST.—ln the width of the' Mill, it being wider than most Farm Mills of similar eizf, thereby increasing the cleaning capacity to a large extent. fcEOOND.— The improved plan of hanging the shoe upon, itrong" strap-hinged hangers, thus preventing constant breakage. Thibd.— ld thematterr I fastening the drum or head to the posts M means of a castiron half circle, and secured to the posts by Eorews (instead of wooden cleats morticed into poe^s and held by wooden kejs), adding increased strength and durability to the Mill. Fourth. — The great advantage of raising or lowering the slide m the Hopper means of a screw. The irons site of the most approved the wheel, pinion, and ehake irons being strong. The gearing is all placed on the in> side of the mill, out of the way. The bearing is formed by the hub of the large wheel run- ning m a thimble or box, three inches long, of Chilled Iron and extending through the posts, giving it a steady and easy motion. For cleaning and separating all kinds of grain, we guarantee thie Mill to be equal to, and m fact superior, m all respects, to any now m use. The fan with wind boards are so ar- ranged that the wind strikes the hnrdle m Buch a manner as to blow all fcul stuff and light grain over the hnrdle. The side spout delivers the No 1 cram at the side, and the No 2 grain at the front of (he Mill. The grader can be so adjusted as to separate and deliver through the aide spout a greater or less portion of the best grain.- Tho wheat screens and grader are so arranged as to effectually take out ccckle from No 1 and No 2 wheati No Farmer or Dealer should be without one SB they are invaluable to all who wish to market their seed m good condition, and thus save the heavy deductions usually made for impurities and foul stuff, and also the extra freight charges and cost of cleaning. They Also save time, and by the thorough and com- plete work which can be accomplished with them, coon repay the cost incurred m their purchase. To Farmers raising large quantities of Grain, or See'is, we would recommend the No 2 Ware- house Mill, as specially adapted for their use, as the great saving of time will compeneate for the difference In the firßt cost. They can be run by hand as easily aa a Farm Size, although constructed much heavier, and made more dcable. Be guided by experience of others and order • "Bacine Mill." You don't want a better record than it has. Bead. MADE A SPLENDID JOB. I put come bags of wheat through last spring, they made a splendid job. A neighbor borrowed mine to run through some oaty wheat : he wa9 highly pleased with the job they made;— William Blaf c, Hilliort Waiwera. NEVES SAW ITS EQUAL. 1 have only used the " Racine " Mill, as yet, for dressing oats, wheat, and grass seed. It has given me great satisfaction. I have never seen its equal for grading wheat for seed, and I have seen and helped to work a good many. — Wiiliam Brook, Church Hill. Waiwera. COMPLIMENTARY. I am very much pleased with it,— JOHN Camkrok, Swift Creek, Eelso. COULD NOT BAVJ3 A BETTER CHARACTER. I have given the '' Racine " Warehouse Fan Mill a good trial, and it gives every satißiac- t ! on. I consider it a first- rate article. It clrans and grades grain rapidly and well, i» strong, works smoothly, and will, 1 think, prove durable. It is much Evperjor to any otbei machine of the kind I have ever seen — F. W. Mackenzie (the Captain). Pomahaka. BEST MACHINE OF THE KIND I HAVE EVER SEEN. I have tried it with wheat, oats ; and turnip seed. I can confidently say that it is all that it claims to be. In fact, it is a long way the j best machine of the kind I have ever seen. With a larger assortment of riddles, I believe it will dress m a superior manner any kind geette. — William Littlejohn, Waiwera WOULD ISOT LIKE TO WANT ONE NOW— NO ONE SHOULD. I can confidently recommend the " Racine Fanners t© do their work well, and witK extreme facility. I wonld not by any means like to want one now, and I thiak no farmer should —David Mackenzie, Waiwera. Want of space, not of TESTIMONIAL (more may be perußed by those requiring more testimony), requires our making a halt just here, but we invite you to call and inspect W^™r&MAN,
