SPECIAjU NOTICE. DURING tho pant twelve months fiva jewellers m Chrwtohurch have eithet filed or been compelled to close their shop«, and now some of tho old established firms are advertising " Belling off" Bales to reduce their stock, and ob they etaio they rover had a sale, some for 10 yeara, others as long nB 28year» ago, the only stock they can offer is only aa accumulation of old Bt ck during all these yearp, which is fit for nothing eho but the melting pot. This clearly shows that- the public will no longer support tho old system of retail business. The ordinary retail dealers have to buy tbeir goods from tho wholesnla merchants here, and then have to pay heavy expensfs, and so are obliged to charge txorbi- tant profits to try and cover all these extra expenses, JYF.

Dr Auguste Kurpteiner's ELECTRO GALVANIC TEETHING NECKLET Endorsed by the Medical Faculty of Europe, And pronounced by all Leading Physicians The Greatest Discovery of the Age IN placing the Electric Necklet before the New Zealand public the discoverer and proprietor bees to draw Special attention to the fact that the material surround- ing the inner ohain of metallic substances Is impregnated with a chemical solution, harmless m itself, and yet containing titanlo powers, which generate a continuous light current of galvanism, and the Neoklet m consequence contains ail the virtues of a miniature battery, and is therefore not a useless artiole like so many of the so-oalled electric appliances, which cannot possibly produce any good results, as they are incomplete m the moat essential requirements, and cannot generate galvanism nor produce galvanic effects. This Necklet Is tho outcome of a long-continued series of Investigating experiments by that well-known and eminent soientißt and specialist, Dr Auguste 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 fact that the discovery and invention of these Neoklet b 1b announced by Dr Kurßteiner is a Buffioient guarantee that a meanß haa at laßt been discovered whioh 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 roost Wonderful Sucoeas m England, on the Continent, and m the United States, and are now constantly prescribed by the moet eminent physioians In their daily practice. It is needless to comment on, tho ahxiouß and sleepless nights parsed by thousands of mothers during the painful period of tho toothing of infants. Every- day bring& to an untimoly grave hundreds of infants whose lives might have been saved by the use of the simple 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, Group, and Chioken Pox, thus relieving childhood of its martyrdom, and gladdening the heart of every mother who invokes its aid, Dr Kursteiner has appointed Messrs OONROD & CO., Auckland, his sole agents m New Zealand for the Bale of these Necklets, from »vhom only they can 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 and preventive agent, the Necklet I , a handsome ornament, and will be sent free on receipt of One Pound, by poata uoto, money order, or registered letter. No cheques received. Address— J. OONROD & CO., P;O.
