AN INEXPRESSIBLE BOON TO MOTHERS. Dr Auguste Eur^temer's ELECTRO GALVANIC TEETHING NECKLET '■£■-■■ Endorsed by the Medical Faculty of Europe, *- ' . ■'■ And pronounced by al ; a . _ Leading Physicians ; 3?he Greatest D iscoyery of the Age IN placing the Electrlo Necklet before the New Zealand pnbllo the discoverer *nd proprietor begs to draw Special attention to the fact that the material surround- ing the inner chain of Metallic substances Is Impregnated with a chemical solution, harmless la iUelf, anJl yet containing, tiianio rovers, which generate a continuous light onrrent 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 eleotrlo appliances, which cannot possibly produce any good results, as they are Incomplete m the moßt essential requirements, and cannot generate galvanism nor produce galvanic effeota. < This Necklet Is the outcome of a long-continued series of Investigating experiments by that well-known and eminent scientist and specialist, De A agnate Kursteiner, who is ihe highest Europesn authority on nil diseases of women and children The Lancet, the leading medical journal of the world, says: — " The foot that tbo discovery and Invention of these Necklets is announced by Dr Kursteiner 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 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 constantly prescribed by the moat eminent physicians In their daily practice. „ ,It Is needless to comment on the anxious and sleepless nights pajaed by thousands ot mothers during the painful period of the teething of Infants., Every day brings to an untimely grave hundreds of Infants whose lives might have been saved by the use of the simple Necklet. In addition to the relief from pain afforded by the Necklet during the period of dentltiou, by its nerve-giving force it wards off and prevents Measles^ Whoopfalg 0 Cough, Scarlet Fever, Croup, and Chicken Pox, thus relieving childhood of ita martyrdom, and gladdening the heart of every mother who Invokes its aid, Dr Kursteiner has appointed Messrs CONROD & CO., Auckland, hla sole agents m New Zealand for the cale 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 a life time. Aside from its many virtues as a remedial find preventive agent, the Necklet i a handsome ornameot, and will be -sent free on receipt of One Pound, by post* vote, money order, or registered letter. No cheques received. Address- J. CONROD & 00., P.O. Box 4CB, Auckland, N.Z. ■' ■ .'■".''■■■ I ■■:■ • DIPPING BSA&ON, 1887. .

FPBRKIMA.K would call Jtotw attention • to this Improved Farm fanning Mill whicb combinea all the advantages of the various Mills now m ust, and also the follow- ing important and greatly needed Improve- ments :— First.— ln the width of the Mill, it being wider thah most Farm Mills of similar ah", thereby increasing the cleaning capacity to a large extent. BBOOHD —The improved plan of hanging th shoe upon ftrong strap* hinged hangers, thu preventing constant breakage. Thibd.— ld the matter? f fastening thedrnm ha head to the po&ta kj means of a castiron lorf circle, and secured to the posts by screws (instead of wooden cleats morticed into posts 'and held by wooden kejß), adding increased strength and durability to the Mill. ' Fotjuth. — The great advantage of raising or lowering the slide m the Hopper means of- a screw. The irons aie of the most approved the wheeL pinion, and shake icons 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 ran* ningin a thimble or box, three inches long, of Chilled Iron and extending through the posts, giving it a Bteady 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 respects, to any now m use. The fan with wind boards are so ar- ranged that the wind strikes the hnrdle m snoh a manner as to blow all feul stuff and light grain over the hurdle. -, The side spont delivers the No 1 £rain at the side, and the No 2 grain at the front Of the MilL The grader can Ye 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 as to effectually take out orckle from No 1 and No 2 whsat< No Farmer or Dealer should ba without one 8B they are inraluable 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 Seeris, we would recommend the No 2 Ware* house Mill, as specially adapted for their use, as the great saving of time will compensate for the difference m the first cost. They can be run by hand as easily a» a Farm Size, although constructed much heavier, and made more durable. Be guided by experience of .others and order a v Bacine Mill."
