AN INEXPRESSIBLE BOON TO MOTHERS. Dr Auguste Kureteiner's ELECTRO GALVANIC TEETHING NECKLET Endorsed by the Medical Faculty of Europe, And pronounced by al Leading Physicians The Greatest Discovery of the Age IN placing the Electric Neoklet before the New Zealand pnblio the discoverer and proprietor begs to draw Special attention to the fact that the material surround- ing the inner ohain of xaetallio substances is Impregnated with a chemical solution, harmless m itaelf, an I yet containing titanic powers, which generate a continuous light oncrent of galvaoism, and the Neoklet m consequence contains ail the virtues of a miniature battery , and 1b therefore not a useless artiole like so many of the so-called electric appliances, whioh cannot possibly produce any good results, as they are incomplete m the moat 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 A agnate Kursteiner, who is the highest European authority on all diseases of women and children The Lancet, the leading medical journal of the world, says : — " The fact that I the discovery and Invention of theßo Necklets is announced by Dr Kursteiner is a sufficient guarantee that a means has at laßt been discovered which will aave 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 yea A with the most Wonderful Success m England, on the Continent, and m the United States, and are now constantly prescribed by the moat eminent physicians In their daily practice. It is needless to comment on the anxious and sleepless nights passed by thousands of mothers during the palnfnl period of the teething of infants. Every day brings to an untimely grave hundreds of infants whose livoa might have been saved by the use of the Bimple Necklet. In addition to the relief from pain afforded by the Necklet during the period of dentitiou, by ita nerve giving force it wards off and prevents Measles»Whooplng Cough, Scarlet Fever, Croup, and Chicken Pox, thus relieving childhood of ita martyrdom, and gladdening the heart of every mother who Invokes Ita aid, Dr Kursteiner has appointed Moaers CONROD & CO., Auckland, bis Bole agents m Now Zealand for the Bale of these Necklets, from whom only they can be obtained. The price has been placed at the very lowest possible point, point, barely covering the cost of importation, and is within the reach of all, as one Necklet will last % life time. Aside from its many virtues &b a remedial and preventive agent, the Necklet 1 a handsome ornament, and will be sent free on receipt of One Pound, by post* vote, money order, or registered letter.

F. FERRIMAN. FFBRRIMAItf would call yonr attention • to this Improved Farm Fanning Mill •which combines all the advantages of the various Milla now m use, and also the follow- ing important and greatly reeded Improve- ments :— First. — In the width of the Mill, it being wider thah moat Farm Mills of similar size, thereby increasing the cleaning capacity to a large exlent. bECOND — The improved plan of hanging th choc upon atrong strap-hinged hangers, thn preventing constant breakage. 7HIRD. — Id the xnatterr ( fastening the drum ha head to 'he pofets bj means of a castiron lorf circle, snd Bpcnred to the posts by screws (instead of wooden cleats morticed into posts , and held by wooden keys),. adding increase! l strength and du-abili y to the Mill. Fourth —The great advantage of raißing or lowering the slide m the Hopper mpanß of a Bcrew. The ironß aio of the most approved the wheel, pinion, and shake irons being strong. The gearing is all placed on the in* Bide of the mill, out of the way . The bearing is formed by the hub of the large wheel rnn- ning m a thimble or box, three inches long, of Chilled Iron and extending through the poets, giving it a steady and easy motion. For cleaning and Beparating all kinds of grain, we gnarantee thie Mill to be equal to, and m fact superior, m all respects, to any now m use. The fan with wind boards are so ar- ! ranged that the wind strikes the hurdle m bu :h a manner as to blow all fcul stuff and light graiu over the hurdle. The side epont delivers the No 1 t rain at the Bide, and the No 2 gr^in at the front of the Mill. The grader can be so adjußted as to separate and deliver through the side spout a greater or less portion of the beet gmin. 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 Deale* should bo without one bb they are inralnable to all who wish to market their seed m good condition, and thus save the heavy deductions usually made for impurities 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, coon repay the cost incurred m their purchase. To Farmers raising large quantities of Grain, or See s, we would recommend tho No 2 Ware- house Mill, as specially adapted for their use, as the great saving of time will com pensato for the difference m the fiist cost. They can be ran by hand as easily as a Farm Size, altho 'gb constructed much heavier, and made more durable. Be guided by experience of others and order a "Radno Mill." You don't want a better record than it has. Head. MADE A SPLENDID JOB. I put some bags of wheat through last spring, they made a splendid job. A neighbor borrowed mino to run through some oaty wheat ; he waa highly pleased with the job they made. — William Blaf b, Hillfort Waiwera. NEVER SAW ITS EQjAL. I have only used the " Racine " 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 ye work a good many. —William Brook, Church Hill. Waiwera, COMPLIMENTARY. I am very much pleased ' with it, — JoHS Cambrow, Swift Creek, Kelso. COULD NOT BAVB A BETTER CHARACTER. I have given the " Racine " Warehouse Fan Mill a good trial, and it gives every ea'islac- t on. I consider it » first-rate article. It cl"ans and gradeß grain rapidly and well, is Btrong, works smoothly, and will, 1 think, prove durable. It is much fcvperior to any othei machine of the kind I have ever Been.— F. W. Mackenzie (the Captain), Ponsahaka. BEBT MAOHINK OF THE KIND I HAVE EVER SEEN. I have tried it with wheat, oats, and turnip eeed I can confidently say that it is all that it claims to be. In fact, it is a long way the bPBt 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 Bee d o —William Littlhjohk, Waiwera WOULD LIKK TO WANT ONE NOW— NO ONE BROULD. I can confidently recommend the '• Racine Fanners to do their work well, and witK extreme facility. I would not by any mean* like to want one now, and I think no farme should-— David Mackenzie, Waiwera.
