[ AN INEXPRESSIBLE BOON TO MOTHERS. Dr Auguste Kursteiner'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 Necklet before the New Zealand public the discoverer and 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, hnimleae m itself, an.i yet containing titanic powers, which generate a" continuous light cnirrent of galvanism, and the Neoklet m consequence oontaina all the virtues of a miniature battery, and is therefore not a useless artiole like ao many of the eo-oalled electric appliances, which cannot possibly produce any good results, as they are Incomplete m the most essential requirements, and cannot generate galvanism nor produce gaivanlo effeots. This Neoklet Is the outcome of a long-continued series of Investigating experiments by that well-known ■ and eminent scientist and specialist, Dr Aagußte Kurotelner, who Is the higheßt Europesn authority on all diseases of women and children The Lancet, the leading medical journal of the world, sayß : — " The fact that the discovery and Invention of these Necklets is apnounced by Dr Kurstelner 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 Neckletß have been need 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 1b needless to comment on the anxious and sleepless nights passed 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 pain afforded by the Necklet during the period of dentitiou, by its nerve givhg force It wardß off and prevents Meaeles, Whooping Cough, Scarlet Fever, Croup, and Chicken Pox, thus relieving ohlldhood of its martyrdom, and gladdening the heart <sf every mother who Invokes Its aid, : Dr Kurßteiner has appointed Messrs CONROD & CO., Auckland, bis sole agents m New Zealand for the oale of these Neoklets, 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 Neoklet will last a life time. Aside from its many virtues as a remedial and preventive agent, the Necklet 1 a handsome ornament, and will be sent free on receipt of One Pound, by posta note, money order, 'or registered letter.

No Farmer valuing Clean deed can ih to I co without a KACINE FAN MILL. Practical Farmers have pronounced it thb Best— read TESTIMONIALS below. While it has capacity to Clean from 60 to 90 bushels per hour. No. 1 FARM MILL Is 2ft Bin ever all, md is fnrnißhed with Wheat Hurdle, one Wheat Screen anQ- with Bide spent, ene Barley Sieve, anone Sieve. Sieves for other purposes nrni and charged for as extra*. FFEEBIMA.N would call your attention s to this Improved Farm Fanning Mill whicli combines all the advantages of the various Milln now m use, and also the follow- ing impoitaut and greatly needed Improve- ments !-"" •♦First.— ln the width of the Mill, it being wider thah most Farm Mills of similar size, thereby increasing the cleaning capacity to a large extent. SECOND — The improved plan of hanging tn choc upon strong atrap-hinged hangers, thu preventing constant breakage. Thibd.— ld the matterr! fastening the drum ha head to The posts bj means of a caetiron lorf circle, end secured to the posta by screws (instead of wooden cleats morticed into posts and held by wooden keys), adding increased > strength and durability to the Mill. Fourth.— The great advantage of raising or lowering the slide m the Hopper means of a Bcrew. The irons aie of the most approved the wheel, pinion, and Bhake 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 run- ning m. a thimble or box, 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 respecte, to any now m use. The fan with wind boards are so ar- > ranged that the wind Btrikes the hurdle m such a manner as to blow all fcul stuff and light grain over the hurdle. The side Bpout delivers the No 1 train at the side, and the No 2 grain at the front of the Mill. The grader can be bo adjusted as to separate and deliver tbrongh the side spout a greater or less portion of the best grain. The wheat screens and grader are so arranged as to effectually take out ctckle from . No 1 and No 2 wheat. No Farmer or Dealer should bo without one as they are inraluable to all who wish to market their seed hi good condition, and thus save the heavy deductions usually made tor 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 coßt incurred m their purchase. To Farmers raising large quantities of Grain, or See s, we would recommend the No 2 Ware- house Mil), as specially adapted for their use, as the great saving of time will compensate for the difference m the first cost. They can be ran by hand as easily as a Farm Size, althoagh constructed much heavier, and made more durable. Be guided by experience of othera and order a "Bavine Mill." You don't want a better record than it has. Bead. MADE A SPLENDID JOB. I put some bags of wheat through last spring, they made a splendid job. A neighbor borrowed mine to run through some oaty wheat ; he was highly pleased with the job they made. •— William Blaf b, Hillfort Waiwera. NEVER SAW ITS EQjAL. I have only used the " Bacine " Mill, as yet, for dressing oatß, 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 \o work a good many. —William Brook, Church Hill. Waiwera. COMPLIMENTARY. I am very much pleased with it, — JOHN Oamkrok, Swift Creek, Kelso. „,„,„„ COULD NOT BAVE A BETTER CHARACTER. I have given the •* Racine " Warehouse Fan Mill a good trial, and it gives every sa^istac- t on. I consider it *■ first-rate article. It clfanß and grades grain rapidly and well, ia strong, works smoothly , and will, I think, prov« durable. It is much Superior to any other machine of the kind I have ever seen.— F. W» Mackenzie (the Captain), Ponsahaka. BEST MACHINE 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 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 " seeds— William Littlejohn, Waiwera WOULD isOT LIKE TO WANT ONE NOW— NO ONE BROULD. I can confidently recommend the '• Racine Fanners te do their work well, and witK extreme facility. I would not by any means like to want one now, and I think no farmer should— David Mackenzie, Waiwera.
