AN INEXPRESSIBLE BOOK TO MOTHERS, Dr Auguste Kureteiner's ELECTRO GALYAMC TEETHING NECKLET Endorsed by the Medical Faculty of Europe, And pronounced by al Leading Phyalciam The Greatest Discovery of the Age IN placing the Eleotrlo Neoklet before the New Zealand pnbllo the discoverer and proprietor begß to draw Special attention to the faot that the material surronnd- | Ing the inner ohaln of raotalHo substances Ib Impregnated with a chemical solution, harmless la itself, and yet containing titanic powers, whloh generate a continuous light current of galvanism, and the Neoklet m consequence contains ail the vlrtueß of a miniature battery, and Is therefore not a useless article like so many of the so-called electric appliances, whloh cannot possibly produoe any good results, as they are incomplete m the most essential requirements, and cannot generate galvanism nor produoe galvanlo effeots. This Neoklet Is the outcome of a long-continued series of Investigating experiments by that well-known and eminent scientist and specialist, Dr Aagnste Kurutelner, who Is the highest European authority on all diseases of women and children The Lanobt, the leading medical journal of the world, says :— " The fsct that the discovery and Invention of these Necklets is announced by Dr Kurstelner is a sufficient guarantee that a means has at last been discovered which 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 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 practice. It is needless to oomment on the anxious and sleepless nights passed 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 Bimple Neoklet. .In addition to the relief from pain afforded by the Necklet during the period of dentition, by its nerve gtvfrg force It wards off and prevents Measles, Whooping Oough, Soarlet Fovor, Group, and OhlckoO Fox, thus relieving childhood of itfl martyrdom, and gladdening die heart of every mother who invokes its aid* Dr Eursteiner has appointed Messrs CONB.OD & CO.,- Auokland, his sole agents m New Zealand for the sale of these Neoklets, from ffhom only they can be obtained. The price has been plaoed at the very lowest possible point, point, barely covering the cost of Importation, and Is within the reach of ail, as one Necklet will last a life time. Aside from its many virtues as a remedial md preventive agent, the Necklet 1 a handsome ornament, and will be sent free on receipt of One Pound, by poitft note, money order, or registered letter.

No Farmer valuing Clean deed can th it co withont a RACESTE FAN MILL. Practical Farmers have pronounced it tht. Beat— read TESTIMONIALS below. While it has capacity to Clean from 60 to 9O.bushelfi per hour. No. 1 FARM MILL Ib 2ft Bin over all, and is furnished with Wheat Hnrdle, one Wheat Screen and Gr vrith, «ide spoilt, ene Barley Sieve, and one Bieve. Bieveß for other purposes furrri and charged for as extras. P. FERBIMAN; F FERBIMAN would call your attention • to this Improved Farm Fanning Mill which combines all the advantages of . the various Mills now m not, and also the follow- ing important and greatly needed Improve* ments : — First.— ln the width of the Mill, it being wider than most Farm Mills of similar eize, thereby increasing the cleaning capacity to .a large extent. Bbcond.-— The improved plan of hanging th shoe upon strong etrap>hinged hangers, thu preventing constant breakage. Thibd.—ld the mattered fastening the drum h» head to the poets by means of a caatiron lorf circle, »od secured to the poets by screws (instead of wcoden cleats morticed into posts and held by wooden keys), adding increased strength and durability to the Mill. Foukth.— The great advantage of raising or lowering the slide m the Hopper means of a screw. The irons ue of the moat approved the wheel, pinien, and shake irons being strong. The gearing is all placed on the in* side of the mill, out of the way. The bearing is formed by the hub of the large wheel run- ning m a thimble or box, three inches 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 BUperior, m all respects, to any now m use. The fan with wind boards are co ar- ranged that the wind strikes the hnrdle m such a manner as to blow all fcul stuff and light grain over the hurdle. The side spout delivers the No 1 train at the Bide, 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 screens and grader are so arranged as to effectually take out c:ckle from No 1 and No 2 wheat) No Farmer or Dealer should be without one as they are inraluable to all who wish to markot their seed m good condition, and thus save the heavy deductions usually made for imparities and foul stuff, and also the extra freight charges and cost of cleaning. They also save time, and by the thorough and com- plete work which can be accomplished with them, Boon repay the cost incurred m their purchase. To Farmerß raising large quantities of Grain, or Beertß, we would recommend the No 2 Ware- house Mil), as specially adapted for their oao, as the great saving of time will compensate for the difference m the first coat. They can be run by hand as easily as a Farm Size, although constructed much heavier, and made more durable. Be guided by experience of others and order a "Baoine Mill." Yon don't wnnt a better record than it has. Read. ,' MADE A SPLENDID JOB. 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 the job they made; — William Blav c, Hillfort Waiwera. NEVEE SAW ITS EQi)AL. I have only used the " Bacine " Mill, as yet, for dressing oats, wheat, and grass seed. It has given me great satisfaction. I have never seen its equal for grading wheat for seed, and I have seen and helped te work a good many. —William Brook, Church Hill. Waiwera. COMPLIMENTARY. I am very much pleased with it,— JOHN Cameron, Swift Creek, Eelso. COULD NOT BAVB A BETTER CHARACTER. I have given the lf Bacine " Warehouse Fan Mill a good trial, and it gives every saUflfac- t'on. I consider it » first-rate article. It cleans and grades grain rapidly and well, is Btrong, works smoothly , and will, I think, prov* durable. It is much Superior to any other machine of the kind I have ever seen,— F. Wi Mackenzie (the Captnin). Pornahaka. BEST MACHINE OF THE KIND I HAVE EVES SEEN. I have tried it with wheat, oate. and turnip seed. I can confidently say that it is all that it claims to be. In fact, it is a long 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 seeds.— William Littlbjohk. Waiwera WOULD JSOT LIKE TO WANT ONE NOW— NO ONE SHOULD, lean confidently recommend the "Racine Fanners t« do their work well, and witfc extreme facility. I would not by any means like to want one now, and I think no farmer •hould.— David Maokbnzib, Waiwera.
