AN INEXPRESSIBLE BOON TO MOTHERS. Dr Auguste Kureteiner'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 c? uetallio substances is impregnated with a chemical solution, harmless m itself, anJl yet containing titanic powers, which generate a continuous light cnrrent of galvanism, and the Necklet m consequence contains ail the vlrtuei of a miniature battery, and is therefore not a useless artiole like on many of the so-called electric appliances, which cannot possibly produce any good results, as they are incomplete m the most essential requirements, and cannot generate galvanism nor produce galvanic effeots. This Necklet is the outcome of a long-continued aeries of Investigating experiments by that well-known and eminent scientist and specialist/ Dv A agnate Kurßteiner, who is the highest European authority on all disease* 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 announced by Dr Kursteiner is a sufficient guavantee 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 roost 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 needless to comment on the anxious and sleepless nights passed by thousands of mothers during the painful period of the teething of infantt. 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 relict from pain afforded by the Necklet during the period of dentitiou, by its nerve-glvrg force it wards off and prevents Measles, Whooping Oough, Scarlet Fever, Group, andjOhicken p ox , thus relieving childhood of its martyrdom, and gladdening the heatt of every mother who invokes its aid, Dr Kurßteiner has appointed Messrs CONROD A CO., Auckland, his sola agents m New Zealand for the sate 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 cobl of importation, and is within the reach of all, as one Necklet will laßt a life time. Aside from its many virtues as a remedial md 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 cheques received. Addrcss-J. CONROD & CO., P.O. Box 408. Auckland, N.Z. DIPPING S£s&£Oft ., 1887.

Sieveß for other purposes furnishe 0 and charged for as extras. F. FERRIMAN. FFERBIMAN would call your attention • to this Improved Farm Fanning Mill which combines all the advantages of the various Milln now m use, and also the follow» ing important and greatly seeded Improve* ments : — First.— ln the width of the Mill, it being wider tbah most Farm Mills of similar size, thereby increasing the cleaning capacity to a large extent. bBCOND— The improved plan of hanging th choc upon strong strap-hinged hangers, thu preventing constant breakage. Third.— ld the matterr I fastening the drum ha head to the posts hi means of a castiron lorf circle, and s<*cnred to the posts by serewß (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 irons sic of the most approved the wheel, pinion, and shake irons being strong. The gearing is all placed on the in> Bide of the r»ilT, out of the way. The bearing is formed by the hub of the large wheel run- ning m & 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 respect*, to any now m use. The fan with wind boards are so ar- ranged that the wind strikes the hurdle m such a manner as to blow all foul stuff and light grain over the hurdle. The side spout delivers the No 1 £rain at the side, and the No 2 grain at the front of the Mill. The grader can fee 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 c.ckle from No 1 and No 2 wheati No Farmer or Dealer should ba without one bb they are invaluable to all who wish to market their seed m good condition, and thus save the heavy deductions usually made tor impuritieß 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 pnrchase. To Farmers raising large quantities of Grain, or Eeerip, we would recommend the No 2 Waro- house Mil), as specially adapted for their use, as the great caving of time will com peneato for the difference m the first cost. They can be ran by hand as easily as a Farm S'ze, altho igh constructed much heavier, and made more durable. Be guided by expeiience of others and order a v Racine Mill." You don't want a better record than it has. Bead. MADE A BPLKNDID JOB. I put some bags of wheat through last Bprin'g, they made a splendid job. A neighbor borrowed mine to run through some oaty wheat ; he waa highly pleased with the job they made; — William Blaf c, Hillfort Waiwera. NEVER SAW ITS EQjAL. 1 have only used the " Racine " Mill, as yet, for dressing oats, wheat, and grass seed. It has given me great satisfaction. I have never Been ita equal for grading wheat for seed, and I have Been and helped io work a good many. —William Brook, Church Hill. Waiwera. COMPLIMENTARY. I am very much pleased with it,— John CamEUOK. Swift Creek, Kelso. COULD NOT HAVE A BETTER CHARACTER. I have given the " Racine " Warehouse Fan Mill a good trial, and it gives every sa'islac- t'oD. I consider it r first-rate article. It clranß and grades grain rapidly and well, is etroDg, works smoothly, and will, I think, provt durable. It is much Superior to any other machine of the kind I have ever seen.— F. W. Mackenzie (the Captain), Pomahaka. BEST MACHINE OF THE KIND I HAVE EVER SEEN. I have tried it with wheat, oats, and turnip seed. I can confidently say that it is all that it claims to be. In fact, it is a long way the beßt 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 Littlbjohn, Waiwera WOULD NOT LIKE TO WANT ONE NOW— NO ONE BHOULD. lean confidently recommend the " Racine Fanners t« do their work well, and witk extreme facility. I would not by any meant like to want one now, and I think no furmei Bhould —David Mackenzie, Waiwera.
