This Necklet is the outoome of a long-continued series of investigating experiments by that well-known and eminent scientist and specialist; Dr Auguste Kursteiner, who is ihe highest Europesn 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 ia announced by Dr Kursteiner 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 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 oonstantly prescribed by the moßt eminent physicians m their daily praotlce. ' It is needless to .comment on the anxious and sleepless nights passed by thousands of mothers during the pa'nfnl period of the teething of infanta. 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 dentition, by Its nerve-giving force It wards off and prevents Measles, Whooping Cough, Scarlet Fever, Qroup, and Chicken Pox, thus relieving childhood of its' martyrdom, and gladdening the heart 6f every mother who invokes its aid, Dr: Kursteiner has; appointed Messrs CONROD & CO., Auckland, his sole agent 3,m New Zealand for the Bale of theße Necklets, from vrhom only they can le obtained. The price has been placed at the very loweßt possible point, point, barely overlng 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 and preventive agent, the Necklet! a handsome ornament, and will be Bent free on receipt of One Pound, by post* note, money order, or registered letter. No cheques received. Addreßa-J OONROD&CO., P.O. Box 408, Auckland, N.Z. *t*B JLIMW B #\ «*.
