Dr Auguste Kureteiner's ELECTRO GALVANIC TEETHING NECKLET 1 ] 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 pnbllo the discoverer and proprietor begs to draw Speoial attention to the fact that the material surround- log the inner chain of metallio substances is impregnated with a chemical solution, harmless In iUelf, and yet containing titanic (overs, which generate a continuous light onrrent of galvanism, and the Neoklet In consequence contains ail the virtues of a miniature battery, and is therefore not 'ft useless artiole 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 Neoklet 1b the outcome of a long-continued series of investigating experiments by that well-known and eminent scientist and specialist, Dr Augußte Kurstelner, who is the highest Europesn authority on all diseases of women and children < The Lancet, the leading medical journal of the world, says :— " The faofc that the discovery and Invention of these Necklets is announced by Dr Kurstelner Is a sufficient guarantee that a mcana 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. NecHets have been used 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 most eminent physicians In their daily practice. . .. It Is neediest} to comment on the anxious and sleepless nights parsed by thousands of mothers during the painful period of the teething of infants. - Every day brings to an untimely grave hundreds of infantß 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-givrg 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 Messrs CONROD & CO., Auokland, bis sole agents m New Zealand for the Bale 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 cost of importation, and Is within the reach of all, as one Necklet will last a life time.
