Medical Faculty of Europe, And pronounced by al Leacikig Physicians The Greatest Discovery of the Age IN placing the Electric Necklet before the New Zealand pnblio the discoverer and proprietor begs to draw Special attention to the fact that <he material surround- ing the inner ohaln of metallic Bubßtanceß is lmpregnatpd with a chemical solution, harmless In it»elf, and yet containing titariic rovers, which generate a continuous light cnrrent of galvanism, and the Necklet m consequence contains all the virtues of a miniature battery, and is therefore not a Useless artiole like so many of the so-called eleotrlo appliances, whioh cannot possibly I produce any good results, as they are Incomplete In the most essential requirements, . and cannot generate galvanism nor produce galvanic effects. This Necklet Is the outcome !of a ; long-continued aeries of investigating experiments by that well-known ' and . eminent scientist and specialist , Dr Augusta Kurstelner, who is the highest European authority on all diseases of women and children The Lanobt, the leading medical journal of the world, says : — •« The ftct that the discovery and invention of these Necklets ia announced by Dr Kureteiner is a sufficient guarantee that a means has at last been discovered which will save the lives of millions of children, and relieve trje anxiety of many mothers." Although new to New Zealand, these Necklets have been used for the laßt five years with the most Wonderful Suoceas 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 is needless to comment on the anxiona and sleepless nights parsed by thoußandß of mothers dating the painful period of tho teething of infants. Every day brings to an unthnoly grave hundreds of lufants whoso lives might have been saved by the use of the Blmple Necklet. In pdditlon to the relief from pain afforded by the Necklet during the period of dentition, by Its nerve-givrg force it wards off and prevents Measles, Whoopin| Cough, Scarlet Fever, Croup, and Chicken Pox, thua relieving ohildhood of its martyrdom, and gladdening U,e heart of every mother who invokes its aid, Dr Kursteiner has appointed Messrs CONROD * CO., Auokland, his sole agents m New Zealand for tho Bale of thoeo Necklets, from *horn only they can be obtainod. The price has been placed at the very lowest possible point, point, baiely covering the cost of importation, and is within the reaoh of all, as one Neoklet will last a life time. Aside from its many virtues as a remedial and preventive agent, the Necklet I a handsome ornament, and will bo sent free on receipt of One Pound, by poata note, money order, or registered letter.
