Business JTobiieJ [y AN INEXPRESSIBLE BOON TO MOTHERS, 0 .. l f, Dr Auguste Kureteiner's I ELECTRO GALVANIC TEETHING NECKLET] .i gEndorsed by the Medical Faculty of Europe, m ■ ' And prononnced by al , B Leading Physicians ■t The Greatest Discovery of the Age g . 2 . TN placing the Electric Necklet before the New Zealand pnblfo the discoverer am I proprietor begs to draw Special attention to the fact that the material snrronnd Ing the inner chain of metallic substances is impregnated with a chemical solution harmless m itself, and yet containing titanic powers, which generate a continuou light onrrent of galvanism, and the Necklet m consequence contains ail the virtues o a miniature battery, and is therefore not a useless article like so many of the so-calle< eleotrlo appliances, which cannot possibly produce any good results, as they ar incomplete m the most essential requirements, and cannot generate galvanism no produce galvanic effects. * This Necklet is the outcome of a long-continued series of fnvestlgattaj experiments by that well-known and eminent eclentist and specialist, D A agnate Kurßteiner, who is the highest Europesn authority on all diseases o women and children The Lancet, the leading medical journal of the world, Bays :— *•' The fact thai the dißoovery &n\ invention of these Mockletß iB announced by Dr Kurßteiner is t sufficient guarantee that a means has at last been discovered which will save th< lives of millions of children, and relieve tho anxiety of many mothers, ' Although new to New Zealand, these Necklets have been need for the last five years with the most Wonderful Success m England, on the Continent, and m the United States, and are now oonetantly prescribed by the most eminent physicians m their daily practice. It is needless to comment on the anxious and sleepless nights passed by thousands of mothers during the pamful 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 relief from pain afforded by the Necklet during the period of dentition, by its nerve-givhg force It wards off and prevents Measles, Whooping Oough, Scarlet Fever, Croup, and Chicken Pox, thus relieving ohildhood of its martyrdom, and gladdening the heart of every mother who invokes its aid, Dr Kurßteiner has appointed MeßPrs CONB.OD & CO., Auckland, bis sole agentß m New Zealand for the sale of theee Necklets, from *rhom only they can be obtained. The price has been placed at th 6 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 ba sent free on receipt of One Pound, by poeta note, money order, or registered letter, No cheques received.

TOMLINSON AND HAYWARD'S LINCOLN DIP, (POISONOUS), GLYCERINE DIP (NON-POISONOUS), WILL MIX WITH COLD WATER AND NOT DISCOLOR THE WOOL. fI^HESE DIPS used together In equal proportions, gave the highest satisfaction last 1_ SeaT as 1b evidenced by numerous Testimonials which can bo seen at the Agents. The Glycerine Dip is the beet over Introduced for Wool Growing purposes ; and the Lincoln Dip is the moßb durable m the Wool, and will keep sheep olean longer than any other yet known. The two Dips used together make a perfect Dip, and keep any ordinary flock of sheep clean the whole season. They combine highly nutritious and stimulating properties, as well as lasting qualities. They are certain killerß of Ticks, their eggs ; Lice, their ova ; and all parasites infesting the skins of Sheep. For very loußy and filthy longwool flockß, the LINCOLN DIP ALONE is recom- mended, being the moat lasting m its effects. Testimonials -prove that m every instanoo sheep dipped m the mixture have come m a shearing with perfectly olean healthy blubb, entirely free from vermin and parasites, and thefwool peculiarly soft and beautifully glossy.

a BACINE FAN FAEM MILL THE TESTED FARM MILL. s * The Cheapest nnd Beßt Fan]Mill;hf the r, Market* >. No Farmer valuing Clean Seed can ".afford [b 0 go without a * RACINE FAN MILL. ir 7 Practical Farmers hare pronounced it th< Beßt—read TESTIMONIAL below. While it haß capacity to Clean rom 60 tc 90 bushels per hour. i No. 1 FARM MILL Is 2ft Bin over all, and is furnished with one Wheat Hurdle, one Wheat Screen and Grader c with side Bpout, one Barley Sieve, and one Oat t . Bievo. Sieves for other purposes furnished 4. and charged for as extras. * F. FERRIMAN. '» c "m FERRIMAN -would call your atten- tt _|j » tion to this Improved Farm Fanning 1. Mill, which combines all the advantages of the various Mills now m use, and also the following ') important and greatly needed Improve- ments: — First. — In the width of the Mill, it being wider than most Farm Mills of similar siz«, ■ thereby increasing the cleaning capacity to a large extent . bECOND. — The improved plan of hanging the shoe upon strong strap-hinged hangers, thus preventing constant breakage. Third. — In the matter of fastening the drum or head to the posts by means of a cast* iron half circle, and secured to the posts by Bcrews (instead of wooden cleats morticed into posts at.d held .. wooden keys), adding increased strength and dv. ability to the Mill. Fourth. — The great a*, 'antage of eaßily i. raising or lowering the slide v Hhe Hopper by means of a Bcrew. The irons are of the most approved pattern, the wheel, pinion, mnd Bhake irons being extra 1 strong. The gearing is all placed on the inside of the Mill, out of the way. The bearing is formed by the hub of the large wheel running m a thimble or box, three inches Ion?, of Chilled Iron, and extending through the poets, giving it a steady and easy motion. <> For cleaning and separating all kinds of grain, we guarantee this Mill to bo equal to, and m face superior, m all respects, to any now m use. The fan with wind boards are so arranged that the wind strikes the hurdle m euch a manner as to blow all foul Btuff and light grain over the hurdle. The side Bpout delivers the No 1 grain at the side, and the No 2 grain at the front of the Mill. The grader can be so adjusted as to separate nnd 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 ont cockle from No 1 and No 2 wheat. No Farmer or Dealer should be without one as they are invaluable to all who wish to market thei- seed m gcod condition, and thus save the heavy deductions usually made for impurities ond fonl stuff, and also the extra freight chargcß and ccso of cleaning. They also save time, and by th-2 thorough and complete work which can be accomplished with them, soon repay the cost incurred m their purchase. To Faimc:s raising large quantities of Grain, or Feeds, wo -nould recommend the No 2 Warehouse Mill, as specially adaptod for their use, as t!lo great saving of time wIH compensate for the difference m the first cost. They can ba tvn by hand aB easily as a Farm fcize, although constructed much heavier, and made more durable. Be g aided by the experience of othors and order a "Racine"Mill." You doa'C want a butter record than it has. Head. MADE A SPLENDID JOB. ' ■ I put some bags of wheat^ thiongh last spring, they made a splendid job. A neigh- bour borrowed mine to run through come oaty wheat : he was highly pleased with the job they made. — William Blakie, Hillfoot, Waiwtra. NEVER SAW ITS EQUAL: I have only used the f ' Bacme " Mill, aB yet, for dressing oats, wheat, and grass Beed. It haß given me great satisfaction. I have neve seen its equal for grading wheat for Beed, and I have seen and helped to work a good many. — William Brook, Church Bill, Wsiwera. COMPLIMENTARY. I am very much pleased with it, — JOHlf Cameron, Swift Creek, Kelao. < COULD NOT HAVE A BETTER character; I have given the •• Racine " Warehouss Fan Mill a good trial, and it gives every satisfac- tion. I censider it a fust-rate article. It cleans ard grades grain rapidly and well, is strong, works smoothly, and will, I think, prove durable. It is much superior to ony other machine of the kind I have ever seen.— F. W Mackenzie (the Captain), Pomahuka. BEST MACHINE OF THE KIND I HAVE EVER SEEN. I have tried it with wheat, oats, and turnip seed. I can confidently say that it is all that it claims to be. In fact, it is a Jong way the best machine of the kind I have ever seen. With a larger assortment of riddles, I believe it will dress m a superior manner any kind of seed&. — William Littlejohn, Waiwera. WOULD NOT LIKE TO WANT ONE NOW— NO ONE SHOULD. I can confidently recommend the "Racine" Fanners to do their work well, ana with extreme facility. I would not by any means like to want one now, and I think no farme: Bbould. — David Mackenzie, Waiwera.
