( • AN INEXPRESSIBLE BOON TO MOTHERS. Dr Auguste Kureteiner's ELECTRO GALVANIC TEETHING NECKLET Endorsed by tho Medical Faonlty of' Europe, '■ .- And prononnced by al Leading Physicians The Greatest Discovery of the Age IN placing the Electric Necklet before the New Zealand pnbllo the discoverer and proprietor begs to draw Special attention to the fact that the material anrronnd- tng the inner ohain o? metallic substances is lmpregnatpd with a chemical aoluMon, harmlesa m it*elf, anJl yet containing titanio powero, whloh generate a continuous light enrrent of galvanism, and the Necklet m consequence contains ail the virtues of a miniature battery, and ia therefore not a useless article like so many of the so-called eleotrlo appliances, which cannot possibly produce any good results, as they are incomplete m the moet eßeential requirements, and oannot generate galvanism nor produce galvanic effects. This Necklet 1b the outcome of a long-continued series of Investigating experiments by that well-known and eminent scientist and specialist, Dv Aagaste Kursteiner, who Is the highest European authority on all diseases of women and children The Lancet, the leading medical journal of the world, says : — " The faot that the ditoovery and invention of these Necklets is announced by Dr Kursteiner Is a sufficient guarantee that a means has at last been diaoovered which will save the lives of millions of children, enu relieve the anxiety of many mothers. ' . Although new to New Zealand, these Necklets have been used for the last five years with the most Wonderful Success In England, on the Continent, and m the United States, and are now constantly prescribed by the most eminent physicians In 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 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; giving force it wardß off and prevents Meaßles, Whooping .Gaivpii r Rnjtrint Fever, Croup, and 'Qhjofejn'." Pox, thns relieving ohlldhood of ltd niartyraomT-Hmrgijraauinug infrlieartrbf every mother who invokes its aid,- Dr Kursteiner has appointed Messrs CONROD & CO., Auckland, fala sole agenta m New Zealand for the cale of those Neckletß, 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, as one Necklet will last a life time. Aside from its many virtues aa a remedial »nd preventive agent, the Necklet 1 a handsome ornament, and will be Bent free on receipt of One Pound, by porta note, money order, or registered letter.

Second —The improved plan cf hanging th shoe upon strong strap-hinged hangers, thn preventing constant breakage. Thibd.— ld them&tterf f fastening the dram ha head to the posts Is; means of a castiron lorf circle, Bnd secured 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. — Tho great advantage of raising or lowering the slide m the Hopper means of a screw. The irons 9ie of the most approved the wheel, pinion, and shake irons being strong. The gearing is all placed on the m« side of the mill, oat of the way. The bearing is formed by the hob of tbc 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 respects, to any now m use. The fan with wind boards are so ar- ' ranged that the wind strikes thehnrdle m surh a manner as to blow all fcul BtufE and light grain over the hurdle. The side spout delivers , the No 1 [rain at the Bide*, and the No 2 pr.in at the front of the Mill. The grader can be bo adjusted as to separate ard deliver through the side spout a greater or less portion of the best gmin. Tha wheat screens and grader are bo arranged os to effectually take out c.ckle from No 1 and No 2 wheati No Farmer or Dealer should ba without one ns they are inralnable to all who wish to market their seed m good condition, and thus Bave the heavy deductions usually made for impurities and foul stuff, and also the extra freight charges and cost of cleaning. They also cave time, and by the thorough and com- plete work which can bo accomplished with them, Foon repay the cost incurred m their pnrchase. To Farmers raising large quantities of Grain, or Eec fl^ 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 firßt cost. They can be N ran hy hand ac easily an a Farm Size, although constructed much heavier, snd made more dn'able. Be gnided by experience of others and order a "Bacine Mill." You don't want a better record than it has. Read. MADE A BPLKKDID 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 BLAr a, 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 seen its equal for grading wheat for seed, and I have seen and helped ie work a good many. — Wiiliam Brook, Church Hill. Waiwera, COMPLIMENTARY. I am very much pleased with it,— JOHU Cameron, Bwift Creek, Kelso. COULD NOT BAVE A BETTER CHARACTER. I have given th« " Bacine " Warehouse Fan Mill a good trial, and it gives every sa'istac- ton. I consider it » first-rate article. It elans and grades grain rapidly and well, is strong, works smoothly, and will, I think, prov« durable. It is much Euperior to any other machine of the kind I have ever seem.— F. W. Mackenzie (the Captain). Poaahaka. BEST MACHINE OF THE KIND I HAVE EVER SEEN. I have tried it with wheat, oats, and turnip t. ad. I can confidently say that it is all that ). claims to be. In fact, it is a long way the b3Bt 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 Beeaa.--VriM.iAM Littlejohn, Waiwera WOULD ISOT LIKE TO WANT ONE NOW— NO ONE SHOULD. I can confidently recommend the " Racine Fanners to do their work well, and witK extreme facility. I would not by any means like to want one now, and I think no farmer uhould David Mackenzie, Waiwera.
