' Endorsed by the Modlcal Faculty of Europe, ' And pronounced by al j Leading Physicians The Greatest Discovery of the Age IN placing the Electric Ncoklet before the New Zealand public the discoverer and < proprietor begs to draw Special attention to the faot that the material surround- ing the inner ohain of metallic substance* la impregnated with a chemical solution, hatmlessln ittelf, and yet containing tltanio powers, whloh generate a continuous light current of galvanism, and the Neoklit la consequence contains all the virtue* 61 a miniature battery, and is therefore not a useless article like so many of the so-called electric appliances, whloh cannot possibly] produce any good results, as they are incomplete m the most essential requirements, and cannot generate galvanism nor produoe 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* Auguste Kursteiner, who Is the highest; European authority on all diseases of women and children » , The Lanoet, the leading medical journal of the world, says :— " The faot that the discovery and invention of these Nockletß Is announced by Dr Kurstetner Is a suffioient guarantoe that a means has at last been discovered whloh will save the lives of millions of children, and relieve the anxiety of many mothers. ' Although new to New Zealand, these Neoklets have been used for the last five ye&rs with the moat Wonderful Suocess m England, on the Continent, and m the United States, and are now constantly prescribed by the most eminent physicians In theb daily practice. It Is needless to comment on the anxious 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 Necklet. ! In addition to the relict from pain afforded by the Necklet during the period pT dentition, by its aerve glvfrg force It 'wards off and prevents Measles.Whooplngf martyrdom, and gladdening tho heart of every mpther who invokes its aid, Dr Kursteiner has appointed Messrs CONROD & CO., Auokland, his sole agents In New Zealand for the sale! of these Necklets, from irhom 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, ai one Neoklet will last a life time. Aside from Its many virtues as a remedial md preventive agent, the Necklet 1 a handsome ornament, and will be sent free on receipt of One Pound, by poita note, money order, or registered letter.

The side spout delivers the No 1 ft rain at the side, and the Ho 2 grain at the front of the Mill. The 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 Dealer shonld be withont one sb they are inralnable to all who wish to market their seed m good condition, and thus save the heavy deductions usually made for impnrities and foul stuff, and also the extra freight charges and cost of cleaning.

To Farmers raißing large quantities of Grain, or Seertß, we wonld recommend the No 2 Ware* house MiU, as specially adapted for their use, us 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 Bize, although constructed much heavier, and made more durable.
