TRICE-ONE PENNY



SPECIAL NOTICE. DURING the past twelve moHtha five jewelers m Chrißtchurch have either filed or been compelled to close their shop?, and now some of the old established firms are advertising "selling off" salen to reduce their Btock, and bb they state they never had a sale, some for 10 years, others as long sb 28 years ago, the only stock they can offer is only an accnmnlaticn of old stck during all these years, which is fit for nothing el«e but the me?ting pot. This clearly shows that the pnblic will no longer support the old system of retail business. The ordinary retail dealers have to buy their goods frcm the wholesale merchants here, and then have to pay heavy expenses, and so are obliged to charge exorbi- tant profits to try and cover all these extra expenses.

Dr Auguste Kiirpteiner's ELECTRO GALVANIC TEETHING NECKLET, Endorsed by the Medical Faculty of Europe, And pronounced by all Leading 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 the material surround- ing the inner chain cf metallic subslances is Impregnated with a chemical solution, harmless In iUelf, and yet containing tiiauic rowers, which generate a continuous light entrant of galvanism, and the Necklet m consequence contains ail the virtues of a miniature battery, and is therefore Dot a useless article like so 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 effects. This Nooklet is the outcome of a long-continued series of investigating experiments by that well-known and eminent Ecientißt and specialist, Dr Aoguete Kurßtelnor, who is the highest European authority on all diseases of women and children The Lancet, the leading medical journal of the world, says :— •« The fact that the discovery and invention of thesa Necklets is announced by Dr Kurstelner is a sufficient guarantee that a means hag at last been discovered which will save the lives cf millions of children, end relieve the anxiety of many molhers." Although new to New Zealand, these Necklets have been used for the last five years with the rooßt Wonderful Success m England, on the Continent, and m the United States, and are now oonatantly prescribed by the raoet eminent physicians m their daily practice. It is needless to comment-, on the anxiouß and sleepless nights parsed by thoueands of mothers during the f ainful period of the teething of infants. Every day brings to an untimely grave hundreds of infants whoße lives might have been saved by the use of the Bioiple Necklet. In addition to the relief from pain afforded by the Necklot during the period of dentitiou, by its nerve-giving force it wards off and prevents Measles, Whooping Cough, Scarlet Fever, Croup, and Chicken Pox, thus relieving childhood of its martyrdom, and gladdening the heart of every mother who Invokes its aid, Dr Kursteiner has appointed Mesers CONROD & CO., Auckland, bis Bole agents m New Z9aland for the sale of theee Necklets, from *horn only they can be obtained. The price has been placed at the very lowest possible point, point, barely covering the coat of importation, and is within the reach of all, aa one Necklet will last a life time. Aside from its many virtues aa a remedial and preventive agent, the Necklet i a handsome ornament, and will be sent free on receipt of One Pound, by posta ' uoto, money order, or registered letter.
