This Necklet Is the outcome of a long-continued series of investigating experiments by that well-known and eminent scientist and specialist, Dr Aoguste Kurstelner, who is the highest Europesn authority on all diseases of women and children ;. < The Lancet, the leading medical journal of the world, says :-—" The fact that the disoovery and invention of these Necklets Is announced^ by Dr Kurstelner Is a euffioient 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 In England, on the Continent, and m the ynitedJStates, and are oow constantly prescribed by the most eminent physicians m their daily practice. ; It Is needless to comment on the anxious and sleepless nights i jpaesed 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 almple' Necklet, {■.'[ In addition to the rejiet from pain afforded by the Necklet during the period of dentitiou, by its nerve-givfcg force it wards off and prevents Measles, Whooping Cough, iScarlet Fever 7 Croup, .and Chicken Pox, thus relieving childhood ox its martyrdom, and gladdening,^ heart^f every mother »rho invokes its aid, ; ;Dr Eursteiner his appointed Messrs CONROD «& CO., Auqkland,. bis Bole ■gents m New Zealand for the sale of these Neckletsj from '<rhom only they can be obtained. The price has been placed at the very lowest posulble point, point, barely covering the cosi 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 tnd preventive agent, the Necklet 1 a handsome ornament, and will be sent free on receipt of One Pouod, by post* note, money order, or registered letter.

No Farmer valuing Uleon rieed can aft to co with' nt a RACINE FAN MILL. Practical Farmers have pronounced it thb Best-read TESTIMONIALS below. While it has capacity to Clean from 60 ti 90 bnßhels per hour. No. 1 FARM MILL Is 2(t Bin over nil, end is furnished with Wheat Hurdle, one Wheat Bcieen and Grade ' with' side spout, ene Barley Sieve, and one Oat i Bieve. Bieveß for other purposes furnished and charged for bb extroe. F. FERRIMAN. FFEBRIMAJN would call your attention # to this Improved Farm Fanning Mill whici combines all the advar tag's of the various Mills now m übc, and also the follow* ing important and greatly needed Improve- ments :— Fiebt.— ln the width o^the Mill, it being wider than most Farm Mills of similar eke, thereby increasing the cleaning capacity to a large extent. bECOKD— The improved plan of hanging th choc upon strong Btrsp-hinged hangers, thn 1 preventing constant breakage. Third.— ld tbematterrt fastening the dram ha head to Ihe poets fej means of a castiron lorf circle, ond sheared to the poste by sorews (instead of wooden cleats morticed into posts and held by wooden keys), adding increased strength ana durability to the Mill. Fourth. — The great advantage of raising or lowering the slide m the Hopper ' means of a screw. The irons we of the mest approved the wheel, pinion, and shake irons being •trongi {The gearing is all placed on the in* side of the mil), out of the way. The bearing is formed by the hub of the large wheel run- ningin a thimble or tox, three inches long, of Chilled Iron and extending through the posts, giving it a steady 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 nee. The fan with wind boards are so ar- ranged that the wind tcrikeß the hurdle m such a manner ob to blow all fcul stuff and light grain over the hurdle. The side spout delivers the No 1 train at the side, and the No 2 grain at the front of the Mill. Tbo grader can be so adjusted as to separate and deliver through the side epont a greater or leas portion of the best grain; The wheat screens and grader are so arranged as to effectually take out ccckle from No 1 and No 2 wheat. No Farmer or Dealer Bhould be without one bb they are inraluable to all who wish to market their seed m gcod condition, and thus save the heavy deductions usually mode 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, Eoon repay* the coßt incurred m their purchase. To Fanners raising.large quantities of Grain, or Seeris, we would recommend the No 2 Ware- house MID, as specially adapted for their use, as the great oavin g of time will compensate for the difference m the first cost. They can be run by hand as easily a* a Farm S : ze, altbo gh constructed much heavier, and made more durable. . Be guided by experience of othere and ordc a "Earino Mill." Yon don't want a better record than it haß. Bead. MADE A SPLENDID JOB. I put some bags of wheat through last spring, they made a Bplendid job. A neighbor borrowed mine to run through some oaty wheat; he was highly pleased with the job they made. — William Blaf c, HUltort Waiwera. NEVER SAW ITS EQ«)AL. 1 have only used the " Racine " Mill, as yet, for dressing oats, wheat, and gross Beed. It has given me great satisfaction. I have never seen its equal for grading wheat for seed, and , I have seen and helped to work a good many. William Brook, Church HiU. x waiwera. COMPLIMENTARY. I am very much pleased with it,— JoBD Oauihos, Bwift Greek, Eelso. COULD NOT HAVE A BETTER CHARACTER. I have given the %l Bacine " Warehouse Fan Mill a gooi trial, and it gives every Ba'istao t on. I consider it *» firat-rate article. It cleans and grades grain rapidly and well, is strong, works smoothly, and will, I think, prove durable. It is much Superior to any other machine of the kind I have ever seen.— F. W. Mackenzie (the Captain), Ponmfeaka. BEST MACHINE OF THE KIND I HATE EVER BEEN. I hate tried it with wheat, oata, and turnip seed. I can confidently say. that it is all that it claims to be. In fact, it is a long way the best 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 Beeds.— William Littlejohk, Waiwera WOULD > OT LIKB TO WANT ONE NOW— NO ONE BHOULD. I can confidently recommend the " Bacine Fannerß t* dp their work well, and with extreme facility. I would not by any mearia like to want one now, and I think no farmer ihould —David Macjkbnzib, Waiwera.
