AN INEXPRESSIBLE BOON TO MOTHERS, Dr Auguste Kursteiner's ELECTRO GALVANIC TEETHING NECKLETj Endorsed by the Medical Faculty of Europe, And pronounced by al Leading Physicians The Greatest Discovery of the Age IN placing the Eleotrlo Necklet before the New Zealand public the discoverer ind proprietor begs to draw Speoial attention to the fact that the material surround- ing the inner ohain of uetallio substanoes is Impregnated with a chemical BolwMon, harmless m itself, and yet containing titanic powers, which generate a continuous light enrrent of galvanism, and the [Necklet m consequence oontalns ail the virtuei of a miniature battery, and is therefore not & useless article like so many of the so-oalied electrlo appliances, which cannot possibly produce any good results, as they .art' incomplete In the most eaientiaL reouirements,_ and cannot generate galvanism ior prodnoe galvanic effacta. : This Necklet Is the outcome of a long-continued series of Investigating experiments by that well-known and eminent eclentiot and specialist, Dr Anguate Knrsteiner, who is the highest European authority on all diseases of women and children The Lanctot, the leading medical journal of the world, saya :— " The fact that the discovery and Invention of these Necklets Is announced by Dr Knrstelner Is a sufficient guarantee that a means has at last been discovered which will save tbe lives of millions of children, and relieve the anxiety of many mothera. ' 1 Although new to New Zealand, these Necklets have been nsed for the last five years with the most Wondbrful Success m England, on the Continent, and m the United States, and are now constantly prescribed by the most eminent physicians In their dally practice. ) It Is needless to comment on the anxious and sleepless nights passed by thousands of mothers daring 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 Belief from pain afforded by the Necklet during the period of dentition, by Its nsrvo giving force it wards off and prevents Measles, Whooping Cough, Scarlet Fever, Group, and Chioken Pox, thus relieving childhood of its martyrdom, and gladdening the heart of every mother who Invokes its aid, Dr Enrstelner bai appointed Messrs CONROD & CO., Auckland, his sole agents m New Zealand for the sale of these Necklets, from *horn. 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 Necklet will laßt a life time. , Aside from Its many virtues as a remedial »nd preventive agent, the Ned let a handsome ornament, and will be sent free on reoeipt of One Pouod, by pstao note, money order, or registered letter.
