AN INEXPRESSIBLE BOON TO MOTHERB. *.- Dr Auguste Kurpteiner's .ELECTRO GALVANIC TEETHING NECKLETj Endorsed by the Medloal Faculty of Europe, And pronounced by al Leading Physlciano The Greatest Discovery of the Age IN placing the Eleotrlo Neoklet before the New Zealand pnbllo the discoverer and proprietor begs to draw Special attention to the faot that the material aurronnd- lng the Inner ohaln of metalllo substances 1b Impregnated with a obemloal solution, harmless In Itself, and yet containing tltanlo powers, whloh generate a continuous light current of galvanism, and the Neoklet In oonseqnenoe contains all the virtues of a miniature battery, and Is therefore not a useless article like an many of the so-called eleotrlo appliances, whloh cannot possibly produce any good results, as they are Incomplete In the most essential requirements, and cannot generate gaivanlatv.nor produce galvanic effects. This Neoklet Is the outcome of a long-continued series of Investigating experiments by that well-known and eminent eolentist and specialist, Dr Auguste Kurstelner, who Is the highest European authority on all diseases of women and children The Lancet, the leading medloal journal of the world, says : — " The faot that tbe discovery and Invention of these Necklets Is announced by Dr Kurutelner la a sufficient guarantee that a means has at last been discovered whtoh will save the lives of milllono of children, and relieve the anxiety of many mothers. ' Although new to New Zealand, these Necklets have been used for the last five yiarswith tbe most Wonderful Success In England, on the Continent, and In the United States, and are now constantly prescribed by the most eminent physicians In their dally praotlce. i It la needless to commont on the anxious and sleepless nights pained by thousands of mothers during the painful period of the teething of Infants. Every day brings to an untimely grave hundreds of Infanta 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 Meaolea.Whooplng Oough, Scarlet Fever, Group, and Chicken Fox, thus relieving childhood of Its martyrdom, and gladdening the heart of every mother who Invokes Its aid, Dr Knratelner has appointed Messrs OONROD & CO., Auckland, his sole agents In New Zealand for the sale of these Necklets, from ffhom only they oan be> obtained, The prlce ( haa,been placed at -the very lowest possible point, point, barely covering the cost of Importation, and la within the reaph of all, at one Neoklet will last a life time. Aside from Its many virtues as a remedial and preventive agent, the Necklet ' a handsome ornament, and will be sent free on receipt of One Pound, by pstao note, money order, oi registered letter. No cheques received. Address- J. OONROD AGO., P.O. Box 408, Auckland, N.Z. P. and D.
