Dr Auguste Kureteiner's ELECTRO 6ALVANK TEETHING NECKLET, Endorsed by the Medical Faculty of Europe, And pronounced by a\\ Leading Phyoiciana The Greatest Discovery of the Age IN placing the Electric Necklet before the New Zealand public the discoverer and proprietor begs to draw Special attention to the fact that f he material surround- ing the inner chain of metallic Bubatances is Impregnated with a chemical Bolutton, harmless m itself, and yet containing titanic rowers, whioh generate a continuous light enrreut of galvanism, and the Necklet m consequence contains ail the virtues of a miniature battery, and is therefore not a useless article like er» many of tho so-called electrlo appliances, which cannot posaibly produce any good roßulto, us they are incomplete m the most essential requirements, and cannot generate galvanic m nor produce galvanic effects. , This Necklet is the outcome of a long-continued series of Investigating experiments by that well-known and eminent scientist and specialist^ Dr Augaete Kursteiner, who is the highest Europesn authority on all diseases of women and children The Lancgt, the leading medical journal of the world, says :— " The fact that the discovery and Invention of these Meokleta is announced by Dr Kursteiner is a sufficient guarantee that a means has at leat been discovered which will save the lives of millions of children, and relievo the anxiety of many mothers." Although new to New Zealand, these Necklets have been used for the last five years with the moat Wonderful Success m England, on the Continent, and m the United States, and are vow constantly prescribed by the most eminent physicians m their daily practice. _It_iß_nefidleßß to comment on the anxious and oleepless nights papsed by thousands of mothers during the painful period of the teething of infanta. Everc day brings to an untimely grave hundreds of infants whose lives might have been aaved by the uae of the* simple Necklet. In addition to the relief from pain afforded by the Necklet during the period of dentitioo, by Its nerve-giving forca it wards off and prevents Measles, Whooping Cough, Scarlet Fever, Group, and Chicken. Pox, thus relieving ohildhood of its martyrdom, and gladdening the heart of every mother who invokes its aid, Dr Kursteiner has appointed Messrs CONROD fr CO., Auckland, Mb sole agents m New Zealand for the Bale of thetre Necklets, from <vhom 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 reaoh of all, aH one Necklet will last a life time. Aside from its many virtues as a remedial and preventive agent, the Necklet i , a handsome ornament, and will be sent free on receipt of One Pouod, by poßta note, money order, or registered letter.
