George Jameson, AOTCNT ABTJBUnTO M AN INEXPRESSIBLE BOON TO MOTHERS. Dr Auguste Kursteiner's ELECTRO GALVANIC TEETHING NECKLET, Endorsed by the Med'cal Faculty of Europe, And pronounced by all Leading Physicians The Greatest Discovery of the Age IN placing the Electrlo Necklet before the New Zealand public the discoverer and proprietor bees to draw Special attention to tho fact that the material surronnd- ing the inner chain of metallic substances is impregnated with a chemical solution, harmless m itself, and yet containing tiianic powers, which generate a continuous light current of galvanism, and the Necklet m consequence contains ail the virtues of a miniature battery, and is therefore not a useless article like so many of the so-called electric appliances, wh«ch cannot possibly produce any good results, as they are incomplete m the most essential requirements, and cannot generate galvanism nor produce galvanic effects. This Necklet is the outcome of a long-continued series of investigating -experiments by that well-known and eminent scientist and specialist, Dr AngUßte Kursteiner, who is the highest Europesn authority on all diseases of women and children The Lanokt, the leading medical journal of the world, says :■— •• The f«ot that the discovery anA Invention of these Necklets is announced by Dr Knrstelner is a sufficient guarantee that a means has at last been discovered which will save the lives o2 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 m England, on the Continent, and m the United States, and are now oonßtantly prescribed by the moet eminent physicians m their daily practice. It is needless to comment on the anxious aDd sleepless nights parsed by thousands of mothers during (be pa'nfal period of the leothing of infanta. Every df.y brings to an untimely grave hundreds of infants whoße lives might have been s&ced by the use of the Biuiple Necklet. Tn addition to the relief from pafn afforded by the Necklet daring the period of dentitiou, by its nerve-giving force it wards off and prevents Meaßles, Whooping Cough, Scarlet Fever, Croup, and Chicken Pox, thuß relieving childhood of its martyrdom, and gladdening the heart of every mother who invokes its aid, Dr Kurnteiner has appointed Messrs CONROD * CO., Auckland, his sole agents m- New Z<uland for the Bale of theee Necklets, from whom only they can be obtained. The price has been placed at th 6 very lowest possible point, point, barely covering the coßt of importation, and is within the reach of all, as one Necklet will last a life time. Asi'e from its many virtues m a remedial and preventive agen*, the Necklet i a handsome ornament, and will be sent free on receipt of One Pound, by posta uofce, money order, or registered letter.
