j 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 Electrlo Necklet before the New Zealand pnblic the discoverer and proprietor begs to draw Special attention to the fact that the material surround- ing the inner chain of raetalllc Babatancea is Impregnated with a chemloal solution] harmless m itself, an.i yet containing titanic rovers, which generate a continuous light current of galvanism, and the Necklet In consequence contains ail the virtues oi a miniature battery , and is therefore not a useless article like bo many of the so-oalled electrlo appliances, which cannot possibly produce any good results, as they are incomplete m the most essential requirements, and cannot generate galvanism nor produoe galvanio effects. This Necklet Is the outcome of a long-continued series of Investigating experiments by that well-known and eminent scientist and specialist, Dt Aaguste Kurstolner, who is the highest Europesn authority on all diseases o! women and children The Lanokt, the leading medical journal of the world, says : — '• The fact that the discovery and Invention of these Necklets is announced by Dr Kursteiner 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 Necklets have been ÜBed 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 m their daily practice. It is needlees to comment on the anxious and sleepless nights passed by thousands of mothers, during the painful period of the teething of inf&nts. Every day bringß 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-glvi-g force it wards off and prevents Meaelea, Whooping Cough, Scarlet Fever, Croup, and Chicken Pox, thus relieving childhood of ita martyrdom, and gladdening t?te heart of every mother who invokes its aid, Dr Kursteiner has appointed Messrs CONROD & CO., Auckland, bta him*. agents m New Zealand for the sale of these Necklets, from *horn 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, an one Necklet will last a life time. Abl<?6 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 Pound, by postft vote, money order, or registered letter. No cheques received. Addreaa-J. 00NROD&0O., P.O. Box 408, Auckland, N.Z. DIPPING SEASON, 1887.

Tho Glycerine Dip is the best ever introduced for Wool Growing purposes ; sn i the Lincoln Dip Is the most durable m the Wool, and will keep sheep olean longe than any ether yet known. The two Dlpß used together make a perfect Dip, and keep any ordinary flook of sheep clean the whole season. They combine highly nutritious and stimulating properties, bb well as lasting qualities. They are certain killers of Ticks, their eggs ; Lice, their ova ; and all parasites nfeetlng the skins of Sheep. For very lousy and filthy longwool flocks, the LINCOLN DIP ALONE <s recom- mended, being the moat lasting m ita effects.

While it has capacity to Clean from bO to 90 bushels per hour.

Sieves for other purposes famished and charged for as extiae, F. FERRIMAN. FFEBRIMAN would cnll your attention « to this Improved Farm Fanning MOT whicfc combines all the advartagfs of tho various Mills now m use, and also the follow- ing impoitaut and greatly needed Improve- ments : — First.— lv the width of the Mill, it being wider than most Farm Mills of similar oize, thereby increasing the cleaning capacity to a large extent. JSkcond —The improved plan of hanging th shoe upon atrong strap-hinged hangers, tbn preventing constant breakage. Third.— ld the matter? t fastening the drum ha head to the posts kj means of a caotiron lrrf circle, »nd secured to the poßta by oonwa (instead of wooden cleats morticed into poeta 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 iron 8 91 eof the mest approved the wheel, pinion, and shake irons being strong. The gearing is all placed on the in- side 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, SDd m fact Enperior, m all respecta, to any now m nee. The fan with wind boards are bo ar« ■ ranged that the wind »trikes the hurdle m Buih ; a manner as to blow all fcul atuf£ and light , grain over the hurdle. The side spout delivers the No 1 t rain at the side, and the No 2 groin at the front of the Mill. The grader can be so adjusted as to separate ard deliver through the side epout a greater or less portion of the best gr»in. Th« wheat screens and grader are so arranged ss to effectually take out ccckla from No 1 and No 2 wheat* No Farmer or Dealer should bo without one bb they are m valuable to all who wish to market their seed m 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 cost incurred m their purchase. To Farmers raisin gjarge qnuntities of Grain, or Eec -p, we would recommend the No 2 Ware- house Mill, as specially adapted for their übd, as the great saving of time will compensate for the difference m the first cost. They can be run by hand as easily aa a Farm S : ze, although constructed much heavier, and made more dwable. Be guided by experience of others and ©rder a "Radne Mill." You don't want a better record than it has. Read. MADE A SPLENDID JOB. I put some bags of wheat through last spring, they made a splendid job.
