AN INEXPRESSIBLE BOON TO MOTHERS. • • »____. ■ 1 Dr Auguste Kurpteiner's • : ELECTRO GALVANIC TEETHING NECKLET Endorsed by the Medical Faculty of Earope, And prononnced by al Leading Physicians The Greatest Discovery of the Age IN placing the Electric Neoklot 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 Impregnatpd-with a chemical solution, harmless m itself, an j yet containing titanio (overs, which generate a continuous Hgbt current of galvanism, and the Necklet m consequence contains ail the virtues of • miniature battery, and is therefore not a useless article like bo many of the so-called eleotrlo appliances, which oannot possibly produce any good results, as they are Incomplete m the moat essential requirements, and oannot generate galvanism nor produce galvanic effects. This Necklet la the outcome of a loDg-continued series of Investigating experiments by that well-known and eminent Bolentist and specialist, Dr Aaguste Kurstelner, who is the highest European authority on all diseases of women and children The Lancet, the leading medioal journal of the world, says : — " The f«ot that the discovery and Invention of these Necklets is announced by Dr Kurstelner is a sufficient guarantee that a means has at last been discovered which will aave the lives of millions of children, and relieve the anxiety of many mothers. ' Although new to New Zealand, these Neokleta have been used for the last five years with the moßt Wonderful Success m England, on the Continent, and m the United States, and are now constantly prescribed by the moat eminent physicians m their daily practice. It Is needlesß 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 infanta whose lives might have been saved by the use of the simple Neoklet. In addition to the relief from pain afforded by the Necklet during the period of dentition, by its nerve glvrg force it wardß off and prevents Measles, Whooping Cough, Scarlet Fever, Group, and Chicken Pox, thus relieving childhood of its martyrdom, and gladdening the heart of every mother who Invokes Its aid, Dr Kurstelner has appointed Messrs CONROD & CO., Auckland, bis sole agents m New Zealand for the saie of these Neoklets, from .vhom only they can be obtained. The price has been placed at the very lowest possible point, point, bsrely covering the coat of importation, and is within the reaoh of ail, as one Neoklet will last ft life time. Aside from its many virtues as a remedial and preventive agent, the Necklet 1 ft handsome ornament, and will be sent free on receipt of One Pouod, by poßta npte, money order, or registered letter.

No Farmer valuing Clean deed can it v co without a RACINE FAN MILL. Practical Farmers have pronounced it tht> Best— read TESTIMONIALS below. While it baa capacity to Clean from 60 to 90 buahels per hour. Ho. 1 FARM MILL Is 2ft Bin over all, and is furnished with Wheat Bnrdle, one Wheat Screen anG with* side spont, ene Barley Sieve, anone Sieve. Sieves for other purposes urnl and charged for as extras. 8 F, FERRIMAN; FFEBBIMAN would call yonr attention c to this Improved Farm Fanning Mill which combinea all the advantages of the various Milla now m use, and also the follow- ing important and greatly needed Improve- ments :— FiKST.— In the width of the Mill, it being wider than most Farm Milla of similar size, thereby increasing the cleaning capacity to a largo extent. • Second.— The improved plan of hanging th choc noon atrong strap- hinged hangora. thn I preventing constant breakage. Third.— ld the maSterr f fastening the drum ha head to the potts fes means of a castiron lorf circle, and spcnred to the posts 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 screw. The iroEB aze of the most approved the wheel, pinion, and shake irons being strong. The gearing is all placed oh the in* side of the mill, out of "the way. The bearing is formed by the hub of the large wheel run- ningina thimble or box, three inches long, of Chilled Iron and extending through the poets, 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 respect*, to any now hi use. The fan with wind boards are bo ar- ranged that the wind strikes thehnrdle m such a manner as to blow all fcnl stuff and light grain over the hurdle. The Bide spout delivers the No L (rain at the side, and the No 2 grain at the front of the Mill. The grader can be so adjusted as to separate and deliver through 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 cockle from No 1 and No 2 wheat. No Farmer or Dealer should be without one as 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 Bee :b, 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 bb easily aa a Farm Size, although constructed much heavier, and made more durable. Be guided by experience of others and order a " Ba<ine Mill." You don't want a better record than it has. Read. MADE A SPLENDID JOB. I put some bags of wheat throngs last spring, they made a splendid job. A neighbor borrowed mine to run through Borne oatv wneat ; he was highly pleasea with the job they made. — William BhAV B, Hillfort Waiwera. NEVER SAW ITS EQ^AL. i have only used the " Racine " Mill, as yet, for dressing oata, wheat, and grass seed. It has given ma great satisfaction, I have never Been its equal for grading wheat for seed, and I have seen and helped vo work » good many. — William Brook, Church Hill. Waiwera. COMPLIMENTARY. I am very much pleased with it,— JOHW Oambrow, Swift Creek, Kelso. nmnnm COULD NOT k)AYE A BETTER CHARACTER. I have given the '• Racine " Warehouse Fan Mill a gooi tnal, and it giveß every Ba'isiac- t ; on. I coßßider it » first-rate article^ It cleans and grades grain rapidly and well, ia stron g, 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 Captnin), Pomahaka. BEST MACHINE OF THE KIND I HAVE EVER SEEN. I have tried it with wheat, oats, and turnip seed I can confidently Bay that it is all that it claims to bo. 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 Littlejohit, Waiwera WOULD I»OT LIKE TO WANT ONE NOW— NO ONE SHOULD. 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 ahouldv-DAviD Mackenzie, Waiwera. _ Want of l space, not of TESTIMONIAL (mtee mey b« perused by those • requiring mom estuueny), requires our making » hilt i tut h»ra,but we invite yon to call ana inßpeop UlttsWd TESTIMONIALS, ; ■ - '
