AN INEXPRESSIBLE BOON TO MOTHERS. Dr Auguste Kurpteiner's ; ELECTRO GALVANIC TEETHING NECKLET Endorsed by the Medical Faculty of Europe, b And pronounced by al Leading Physicians The Greatest Discovery of the Age IN placing the Electric Neckkt 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 cV Metallic substances is Impregnated with a chemical solution, I harmless In Itself, an! yet containing tltanio powers, which generate a continuous light current of galvanism, and the Necklet ln consequence contains all 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, as they are Incomplete In the most essential requirements, and cannot generate galvanism nor produce gaivanio effeots. This Necklet is 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 Europesn anthority on all diseases of women and children The Lanoet, the leading medical journal of tho world, says: — •• The fact that the discovery and Invention of these Necklets Is annonnced by Dr Kurstelner 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. ' Althonch new to New Zealand, theße Necklets have been used for the last five years with tbe roost Wonderful Success m England, on the Continent, and m the United States, and are now constantly prescribed by tho most eminent physicians m their dally practice. It is needless to comment on the anxious and sleepless nights parsed by thousands of mo.hers during the painful period of the teethiDg of Infanta. Every day brings to an untimely grave hundrods of Infants whose lives might have been saved by the use of the simple Necklet. In addition to the reliel from pain afforded by the Necklet during the period of dentition, by its nerve givi-g force It wards off and prevents Measles, Whooping . Cough, 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, hiß bolo agents m New Zealand for the uaie of these Necklets, from whom only they oan be obtained. The price haa 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 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. No cheques received. Address- J. CONROD A CO., P.O. Box 408, Auckland, N.Z. W- PATCHING* TENT, TARPAULIN, FLAG, AND HORSECLOTH MANUFACTURER.

F. FERBIMAN. F FERRIMAN would call your attention « to thiß Improved Farm Fanning Mill which combines aU the advantages of the vanous Mills now m use, and also the follow- ing important and greatly needed Improve- ments : — First.— ln the width of the Mill, it being wider tbah most Farm Mills of similar size, thereby increasing the cleaning capacity to a large extent. bKCOND.— The improved plan of hanging th shoe noon strong strap, hinged hangers, thu preventing constant breakage. Third.— ln the matter? f fastening the drum ha head to the posts b$ means of a castiron lorf circle, and secured to the posts by sorews (instead of wooden cleats morticed into poets > and held by wooden keyß), 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 irons being strong. The gearing is all placed on the m» side of the mill, out of the way. The bearing is formed by the hub of the large wheel rnn- ningin 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 eq-aal to, and m fact superior, m all respects, to any now { m nee. The fan with wind boards are so ar- ranged that the wind strikes the hurdle m sush a manner as to blow all fcul stuff and light j grain over the hurdle. The side spout delivers the No 1 t Tain at the side, and the No 2 grain at the front of the Mill. Tho grader can be so adjusted as to separate and deliver through the side spout a greater or less portion of the best grain. The wheat screens and grader are so arranged as to effectually take out cockle from No 1 and No 2 wheat. No Farmer or Deale- Bhould bo without one bb they are m ralnable to all who wish to market their seed m good condition, and thus save the heavy deductions usually made for impurities and fonl 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, toon repay the cost incurred m their purchase. To Farmers raising large quantities of Grain, or See s, we would recommend tho No 2 Ware- house Mill, as specially adapted for their use, as the great saving of time will compensate for the difference m the first cost. They can be run by hand as easily a* a Farm Size, altho gh constructed much heavier, and made mort do able. Be guided by experience of others and orde a "Ravine Mill." Yon don't want a better j record than it has. Head. 1 MADE A SPLENDID JOB. I put some bags of wheat through last spring, they made a splendid job. A neighbor borrowed mine to run through Borne oaty wheat; he was highly please j with tho job they made. — William Blaf b, Hillfort NEVER SAW ITS EQjAL. I have only used the * Bacine " 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, ana I have Been and helped >o work a good many. — William Brook, Church Hill. Waiwera. COMPLIMENTARY. I am very much pleased with it, — John Gameroic, Swift Creek, Kelso. COULD NOT BAVE A BETTER CHARACTER. I have given the " Bacine " Warehouse Fan Mill a gooi trial, and it gives every sa'istac- ton. I consider it ■ first-rate article. It cl-anß and grades grain rapidly and well, is stroDg, works smoothly, and will, I think, provt durable. It is much superior to any other machine of the kind I have ever seen.— F. W. Mackenzie (the Captain), Poirahaka. BEST MACHINE OF THE KIiMD I HAVE EVER SEEN. I have tried it with wheat, oats, and turnip seed I can confidently say that it is all tbat it claims to be In fact, it is a.long way the b?Bt machine of the kind I have ever seen. With a larger assortment of riddles, I believe it will dreßS m a superior manner any kind seeds.— William Littlbjohit, Waiwera WOULD NOT LIKK TO WANT ONE HOW— NO ONE SHOULD. I can confidently recommend the " Racine Fanners te do their work well, and witK extreme facility, I wonld not by any means like to want one no I*,1 *, and I think no farmer should —David Mackenzie., Waiwera.
