Dr Auguste Kurpteiner's ELECTRO * GALVAM TEETHING NECKLET, ■ Endorsed by the, Medical Faculty of Europe, " And pronounced by all lieadlug Physicians The Greatest Discbvery of the Age IN placing the Electric Neoklet before the New Zealand public the discoverer am 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 m itself, and yet containing tiianio rovers, which generate a continuoui light enrrent of galvanism, and the Necklet m consequence contains ail the virtues o: a miniature battery, and 1b therefore not a useleßß artiole like so many of the 00-oallec eleotrio appliances, which cannot possibly produce any good results, as they an incomplete m the most essential requirements, and cannot generate galvanism noi produce galvanic effects. This Neoklet la the outcome of a long-continued series of Investigating experiments by that well-known and eminent Boientißt and specialist; Di Augdßte Kurstelner, who Is the highest ; European authority on all diseases ol women and children . The Lanobt, the leading medical journal of the world, sayß : — " The faot thai the discovery and Invention of these Necklets Is announced by Dr Kurßteiner is t 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 years with the most Wonderful Success m England, on the Continent, and m the United States, and are now constantly prescribed by the most eminent physicians lc their daily praotloe. It Is needless to comment on the anxious and sleepless nights paused bj thousands of mothers during the painful period of the teething of infants. Everj day brings to an untimely grave hundreds of infants whose lives might have been saved by the use of the Bimple;Necklet. In addition to the relief from pain afforded by the Necklet during the period of dentitiou, by its nerve-giving force it wards off and prevents Measles, Whooping Cough, Scarlet Fever, Croup, and Chicken Pox, thus relieving ohildhood of it! martyrdom, and gladdening the heart of every mother who invokes its aid, Kurateiner has appointed Messrs 00NR0D &■ CO., Auckland, biß sole agents m New Zealand for the sale of theee Necklets, from vrhom only they can be obtained. The price has been placed at th 6 very lowest possible point, point, barely covering the cost of importation, and is within the reach of all, as one Neoklet will last a life time. Aside from its many virtues aa a remedial and preventive agent, the Necklet 1 a handsome ornament, and will be sent free on receipt of One Pound, by posta note, money order, or registered letter.
