AN INEXPRESSIBLE BOON TO MOTHERS. Dr Auguste Kursteiner's ELECTRO GALVANIC TEETHING NECKLET Endorsed by the Medical Faculty of Europe, And pronounced by al Leading Physicians The Greatest Discovery of the Age IN placing the Electric Necklet before the New Zealand pnbllo the discoverer and proprietor begs to draw Special attention to the fact that the material BUrround- ing the inner chain of metallic substances is impregnatpd with a chemical solution, harmless m itself, and yet containing titanio [overs, which generate a continuous light current of galvanism, and the Necklet m consequence contains ail the virtues of a miniature battery, and is therefore not a useless article like an many of the so-called electric appliances, which cannot possibly produce any good results, as they are IDoomplete m the ncoßt 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 Aaguste Kursteiner, who is the highest Kuropesn authority on all diseases of women and children The Lancet, the leading medioal journal of the world, says : — " The fact that the discovery and invention of these Necklets is announced by Dr Kursteiner 1b a sufficient guarantee that a meanß 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 nsed for the last five yeara with the most Wonderful Success m England, on the Continent, and m the United States, and are now constantly prescribed by the moat eminent physicians In their daily practice. It Is needleeß to comment on the anxious and sleepless nights passed by thousands of mothers during the painful period of the teething of Infanta, Every day brings to an untimely grave hundreds of Infantß whose lives might have been saved by the use of the simple Necklet. In addition to the rolier from pain afforded by the Necklet during the period of dentitiou, by its nerve-glvi-g force It wards off and prevents Measles, Whboplng Oough, Scarlet Fever, Croup, and Chicken Pox, thus relieving childhood of its martyrdom, and gladdening the heart of every mother who invokes ita aid. Or Ktfrsteiner has appointed Messrs CONROD & CO., Auckland, bis sole agents m New Zealand 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 cost of importation, and is within the reaoh of all, an one Necklet will last a life time, Abl(?6 from its many virtues as a remedial and preventive agent, the Necklet 1 a handsome ornament, and will be sent free on receipt of One Pound, by poata note, monoy order, or registered letter. No cheques received. Address— J. CONROD & CO., P.O. Box 408, Auokland, N.Z. i ■DIPPING- BlkhMm , 1887.

No Farmer valuing Clean deed can aff to ep without a EACINE IAN MILL. Practical Farmers have pronounced it the Best— tead TESTIMONIALS below. While it has capacity to Clean from CO to 93 bnehels per hour. Ho. i 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 Bieve. Sieves for other purposes furnished and charged for as extras. F, FERRIMAN. FFERRIMA.'N would call your attention « to this Improved Farm Fanning Mill, whicb combines all the advantages of the various Mills now m use, and also the follow- ing important and greatly needed Improve- ments : — First. — In the width of the Mill, it being wider thah most Farm Mills of similar eize, thereby increasing the cleaning capacity to a large extent. bECOND —The improved plan of hanging the shoe upon etrcng strap-hinged hangers, thus preventing constant breakage. Third. — In the mnfcterr f fastening the drum or head to the posts bj means of a castiron half circle, and secured to the posts by ecrews (instead of wooden cleats morticed into posts and held by wooden keys), 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 are of the most approved the wheel, pinion, and shake itons being strong. The gearing is all placed on the ins Bide 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 throngh the pouts, 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 Buperior, m all respects, to any now m use. The fan with wind boards are so ar- ranged that the wind strikes the hurdle m such a manner as to blow all fcul stnfE and light grain over the hurdle. The aide spout delivers the No 1 £ Tain at the Bide, and the No 2 grain at the front of the Mill. The grader can te so adjusted as to separate and deliver throngh the side spout a greater or less portion of the best grnin. The wheat screens and grader are so arranged cs to effectually take out ccckle from No 1 and No 2 whsat. No Farmer or Dealer should ba without one ea they are inralnable to all who wish to market their Beed 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 Bave time, and by the thorough and com- plete work which can be accomplished with them, coon repay the co&t incurred m their purchase. To Farmer raising large quantities of Grain, or Eeere, we would recommend the No 2 Ware- honße Mill, as specially adapted for their use, as the great saving of time will compensate for the difference m the flißt cost. They can be run by hand as easily a« a Farm Size, although constructed much heavier, and made more doable. Be guided by experience of otherß and order > a "Badne Mill." You don't want a better record than it has. Read. MADE A SPLENDID JOB. I put some bagß of wheat through last spring, they made a splendid job.
