AN INEXPRESSIBLE BOON TO MOTHERS. Dr Auguste Kursteiner's ELECTRO GALVANIC TEETHING NECKLET Endowed by the Medical Faculty of Europe, And pronounced by al Leading Physicians The Greatest Discovery of the Age IN placing the Electrlo Neoklet before the New Zetland public the discoverer and proprietor begs to draw Special attention to the fact that the material surronnd- Ing the inner chain of uetallla substances is impregnated with a chemical solution, haimleoa In ittelf, an I yet containing tlianlo (overs, which generate a continuoas light cnrrent of galvanism, and the Neoklet In consequence contains ail the virtues of a miniature battery, and is therefore not a useless article like so many of the so-called electrlo appliances, which cannot possibly produce any good results, as they are incomplete m the most essential requirements, and cannot generate galvanism nor produce galvanic effects. This Neoklet is the outoome of a long-continued series of Investigating experiments by that well-known and eminent scientist and specialist, Dr Augusta Kurstelner, who is the highest European authority on all diseases of women and children ' The Lancet, the leading medical journal of the world, sayß : — " The faot that the discovery and invention of theße Wockletß is announced by Dr Kunstelner is a sufficient guarantee that a means has at last been discovered which will save the lives of millions of ohildren, and relieve the anxiety of many mothers. ' « Although new to New Zealand, these Neokleta have been used for the last five years with the roost Wonderful Success m England, on the Continent, and m the United States, and are now oonßtantly prescribed by the moßt eminent physicians In their daily practice. It ia needleeß to comment on the anxious and sleepless nights passed by thousands of mothers duting the painful period of the teething of Infants. Every day brings to an untimely grave hundreds of Infants whose liv9a might have been saved by tbe use of the simple Neoklet. In addition to the relict from pain afforded by the Necklet during the period of dentitiou, by its nerve giving force it wards off and prevents Measles, Whdoplng Cough, Soarlet Fever, Group, and Chicken Pox, thus relieving ohildhood of its martyrdom, * a d gladdening the heart: of :every mother who Invokes Its aid, Dr Kuretelo o^ I \ f "J' ul J ri f OT tbe~ oale of thene JNecmeiß, irom~ irnum-™, r they can be obtained.

Thibd.— ld themafcterrf fastening the dram ha head to the posts bj means of a castiron lorf circle, end Bccnred to the posts by screws (instead of wooden cleats morticed into posts and held by wooden keys), adding increased strength and durability to the Mill. Fourth.— The great advantage of raising or lowering the slide m the Hopper meanß of a screw. The ironß we of the most approved the wheel, pinion, and shake irons being strong. The gearing is all placed on the iq* side of the mill, out of tho way. The bearing is formed by the hub of the large wheel run- ning m a thimble or box, three incheß long, of Chilled Iron and extending through the posts, giving it a steady and easy motion. For cleaning and separating all kinds of grain, we guarantee thie Mill to be equal to, and m fact superior, m all respect*, to any now m use. The fan with wind boards are so ar- ranged that the wind Btrikeß the hurdle m snob, a manner as to blow all fcul stuff and light grain over the hurdle. The Bide spout delivers the No 1 1 £Tain at the side, and the No 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 Bcreens and grader are so arranged ns to effectually take out ctckle from No 1 and No 2 wheat, No Farmer or Deale* should be without one os they are inralnable to all who wish to market their seed m good condition, and thus Bavethe heavy deductions usually made for impurities and foul stuff, and also the extra freight charges and coßt of cleaning. They also save time, and by the thorough and com* plete work which can be accomplished with them, soon repay the coßt incurred m their purchase. To Farmers raising largo quantities of Grain, or Eeedp, we would recommend tho No 2 > Ware- house Mill, as specially adapted for their use, as the great saving of time will compensate for the difference m the fiißt cost They can be run by .band aB eas.il? a« a Farm Size, altho igh constructed much heavier, and made more durable.

I put some bags of wheat through last spring, they made a splendid job. A neighbor borrowed mine to run through some oaty wheat ; he was highly pleased with tho job they made. — William Blak b, Hillfort Waiwera. NEVER SAW ITS EQjAL. 1 have only used tho '• Racine " Mill, as yet, for dressing o:vta, wheat, and grass seed. It has given me great satisfaction. 1 have never seen its equal for grading wheat for seed, and I have seen and helped \o work a good many. —William Brook, Church Hill, Waiwera. COMPLIMENTARY. I am Tery much pleased with it, — JOHN Cameron, Bwift Creek, KelßO. COULD NOT HAVE A BETTER CHARACTER. I have given the '' Racine " Warehouse Fan Mill a gooi trial, and it gives every sa'isiac- t on. I consider it » first-rate article. It cleans and grades grain rapidly and well, ia strong, works smoothly, and will, I think, prova durable. It is much Evperior to any other machine of the kind 1 have ever seen. — F. W. Mackenzie (the Capt-iin), Poirahaka. BEST MACHINE OF THE KIND I HAVE EVER BEEN. I have tried it with wheat, oatß, and turnip eeed. I can confidently say that it is all that it claims to be. In fact, it is a long way the beßt machine of the kind I have ever seen. With a larger assortment of riddles, I believe jt will dress m a superior manner any kind eeeds Willum Littlbjohn, Waiwera WOULD IsOT LIKE TO WANT ONE NOW— NO ONE SHOULD, lean confidently recommend the " Racine Fanners to do their work well, and witK extreme facility. I would not by any means like to want one now, and I think no farmer should. — David Mackenzie, Waiwern.
