Dr Auguste Rureteiner's ELECTRO GALVANIC TEETHING NECKLET, Endorsed by the Medical Faculty of Europe, And pronounced by all Leading Physicians : The Greatest Discovery of the Age IN placing the Electric Necklet before the New Zealand pnbllo the dißooverer and proprietor bees to draw Special attention to the fact that the material surround- ing the inner chain of metallic substances is impregnatpd with a chemical solution, harmleaa m itself, and yet containing titanic ro^era, which generate a continuous light current of galvanism, and the Necklet inconsequence contains ail the virtues of a miniature battery, and iB therefore not a useless article like so many of the co-called electric appliances, which cannot poßcibly produce any good resnltß, aB they are incomplete In the most eßßDntial requirements, and cannot generate galvanism nor produce gaivanlc effects. ' This Necklet ia the outcome of a long-continued series of Investigating experiments by that well-known and eminent scientist and specialist) D«* Auguete Kurstelner, who is the highest Kuropesn authority on all diseases of women and children The Lanopt, the leading medical journal of the world, says :— •" Thefact that the discovery and Invention of these Necklets is announced by Dr Kuratelner 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 Zeßiand, tbeae Necklets have been used for the last five years with tbe moat Wonderful Success m England, on the Continent, and m the United States, and are now constantly prescribed by the most eminent physicians m their daily practice. It ib needless to comment on tho anxious and sleepleßa nights papsed by thousands of mothers during the painful period of the teething of infants. Every clay bring 6to an untimely grave hundreds of infanta whose lives might have been saved by the use of the simple Necklet. Tn addition to the relief from pa»n affb,rdod by the Necklet during the period of dentitiou, by its nerve-giving force ft wards off and prevents Measles, Whooping Cough, Scarlet Fever, Croup, and Chicken Pox, thus relieving childhood of its martyrdom, and gladdening the heart of every mother who Invokes its aid, Dr Kurateiner haß appointed Mesars CONROD & CO., Auckland, his sole agents? m New Zealand for tho sale of these Necklets, from *horn only they can be obtained, The price has been placed at th 6 very lowest possible point, point, barely covering the coat of importation, and iB within the reach of all, aB one Necklet will last a life time.- Aside from Hb many virtues as a remedial and preventive agent, the Necklet 1 > a handsome ornament, and will be sent free on receipt of One Pound, by poßta note, money order, or registered letter.
