Although new to New Zealand, these Necklets have been used for the Issk five pears with the moat Wonderful Success m England, on the Continent, and m the United States, and are now constantly prescribed by the most eminent physicians m ;heir daily practice. • • , It is needless to comment, on tbo anxious and eleeploßs nighfa pape^d by ihoueands of mothers during the gainful period of the teething cf infants. Every _ay brings to an untimely grave hundreds of infants whose lives might have bueh javed by tho use of the Birnple Necklet. In addition to the relief from pam afforded by the Necklet during the period >f dentitiou, by its nerve"-glving fores it wards off and provents Measles, Whooping; Dough, Scarlet Fevor, Croup, and Chickea Pox, thus relieving childhood of its martyrdom, and gladdening the heart of every mother who invokes its aid, Ur Kurßteiner has appointed Messrs CONROD & CO., Auckland, his sole jgents m New Zealand for the sale of these Necklets, from venom only they can be obtained. The price haa been placed at th 6 very lowest possible point, point, barely covering the coat of importation, and ia within thn reach of all, aB one Necklet will last a life time.
