AN INEXPRESSIBLE BOON TO MOTHERS. Dr Auguste Kureteiner's { ELE(rf GALVANIC TEETHING NECKLET) Endorsed by the Medical Faculty of Europe, And piononnced by al Leading Physicians The Greatest Discovery of the Age IN placing the Eleotrlo Necklet before the New Zealand pnbllc the discoverer and proprietor bees to draw Special attention to the fact that the material aurround- Ing the inner chain of metallic Bobatances is lmpregnatpd with a chemical solution, harmless m itself, and yet containing tltanlo [overs, which generate a continuous light enrrent of galvanism, and the Necklet m consequence contains ail the virtues of a miniature battery, and Is therefore not a useless artiole like so many of the so-called eleotrlo appliances, which cannot possibly produce »ny good results, as they are Incomplete In tho most essential requirements, and cannot generate galvanism nor produce galvanic effects. This Neoklet Is the outcome of a long-continued series of Investigating experiments by that well-known and eminent scientist and specialist, D* Asguste 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 faot that the discovery and Invention of these Necklets Is announced by Dr Kurstelner is a sufficient guarantee that a means has at last been discovered which will save the lives of millions of ohildren, 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 In England, on the. Continent, and m the United States, and are now constantly prescribed by the most eminent physicians In their daily praotioe. ) It Is needless to comment on the anxloui and sleepless nights passed 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 Neoklet during the period of dentition, by Its nerve giving force it wards off and prevents Measles, Whooping Oongh, Scarlet Fever, Group, and Chicken Fox, tb.ua relieving childhood of Its martyrdom, and gladdening tJ<e heart of every mother who Invokes Its aid, Dr Knrstelner has appointed Messrs CONROD & CO., Auckland, his sole agenta In New Zealand for the sale of these Neoklets, from vrhom only they oan be obtained. The price has been placed at the very lowest possible point, point, barely covering the cost of Importation, and is within the reach of all, as one Necklet will last a life time. Aside from Its many virtues as a remedial end preventive agent, the NeokletV a handsome ornament, and will be Bent free on receipt of One Pound, by pstao note, money order, or registered letter. No cheques received. Address— J. CONROD & CO., P.O. Box 408, Auckland, N.Z. i P. and D.
