Dr Auguste Kureteiner's ELECTRO GALYAIJJC TEETHING NECKLET Endorsed by the Jjfedlcal Faculty of Europe, And pronounced by all ■ Leading Physicians The Greatest Discovery of the Age IN placing the Electrlo Necklet before the New Zealand pnblio the discoverer and proprietor begs to draw Speoial attention to the fact that the material surronnd- ing the inner ohain of metallic substances is Impregnated with a chemical solution, harmless In itself, and yet containing 'titanic f overs, which generate a continuous light onrrent of galvanism, and the Necklet m consequence contains ail. the virtue! of a miniature battery, and is therefore nqt a useless article like so many of the so-oalled electric appliances, which cannot possibly produoe any good results, as they are Incomplete m the most essential requirements, and cannot generate galvanism nor produoe galvanic efFeote. This Neoklet Is the outoome of a long-continued Berlos of Investigating experiments by that well-known and eminent scientist and specialist; Dr Auguste Kurstetner, who is the highest European authority on all diseases of women and "children The Lancet, the leading medical journal of the world, says : — " The faot that the discovery and invention of these Necklets is announced by Dr Kurstelner !■ a sufficient guarantee that a means haia at l&Bt 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 moßt Wonderful Success m England, on the Continent, and m the United Stateß, and are now constantly prescribed by the most eminent physicians In their dally practice. \ It is needless to comment on the anxious an &~ sleepless nights" paused by thousands of 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 paJn afforded by the Necklet during the period of dentitiou, by Its nerve-givrg force It 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 Kureteiner has appointed Messrs CONROD & CO., Auckland, his Hole agents m New Zealand for the sale 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 reaoh of all, as one Necklet will last » life time. , Aside from its many virtues as a remedial and preventive agent, the Neoklet i | a handsome ornament, and will be Bent free on receipt of One Pound, by posta note, money order, or registered letter. No ohequeß received. Addresß-J. CONROD & CO., P.O. Box 408, Auckland, N.Z. npHE PREMIER COLONIAL COMPANY CANTERBURY' BRANCH* STARL!?"ED !^C^^^^^^^^^CAPnA L t 1000,00 " ' '.
