Business ffofopss V ______ AN INEXPRESSIBLE BOON TO MOTHERS. Dr Auguste 'electro galyamc! Seething necklet; , Endorsed by the flsß&pal Faculty of Europe,* And prontnMced by al Leadiag/Physiciana The Greatest Discovery of the Age IN placing the Eleotrio Necklet before the New Zealand public the discoverer and proprietor begs to draw Special attention, to the fact that the material surround- ing the inner ohain of metallic eub3tarjoes Jiß impregnated with a chemical solution, harmless m itself, and yet containing titanio rovere, which generate a continuous light onrrent of galvanism, and the Necklett in consequence contains ail the virtues of a miniature battery, and is therefore not ageless article like so many of the so-called eleotrio appliances, which cannot possibly produce any good results, as they are incomplete In the most essential requirements, and cannot generate galvanism nor produoe galvanic effeots. " ' ■*► ' '\ ' This Necklet Is the outcome of a/; loiipr. 00 ntlnued series of investigating experiments by that well-known and scientist and specialist, Dr Aaguste Kurstelner, who is the highesb^Europesn authority on all diseases of women and children . : i The Lancet, the leading medical ionrhal of the world, cays :— ls The faofc that the discovery and Invention of these Kccit]eta la announced by Dr Kurete'iner is a sufficient guarantee that a. means haa at ftst been discovered whioh will save the lives of millions of children, and relieve w^ anxiety of many mothers. ' Although new to New Zealand, these jfecklets 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 now constantly preßqrlbed by the most eminent physicians m their daily practice. '■ ■ It is needless to comment on the anxlons and sleepless nights papaed by thousands of mothers dutlng the painful period of the teething of Infants. Every day bringß to an untimely grave hundreds^of infants whoso Hvob might have been saved by the use of the Blmple Necklet. ] . In addition to the relict from pa?n afforded by the Necklet during the period of dentitiou, by its nerve-giving force it wards off and prevents Measles, Whooping Cough, Scarlet Fever, Croup, and Ohioken Pox, thus relieving childhood of its martyrdom, and gladdening the heart of every mother who invokes Us aid, Dr Kurßteiner has appointed Mesrrß CONHOD & CO., Auckland, hh Bole agents m New Zealand for the sale of theee Necklets, from vrhom 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, aa one Necklet will last a life time. : Aside from its many virtues as a remedial and preventive agent, the Necklet 1 a handsome ornament, and will be Bent free on receipt of One Pound, by poßta note, money order, or registered letter. No. cheques received. Address- J. CONROD&OO., _. P.O. Box 4^B. Auckland, N.Z. DIPPING SEASON, 1887. TOMLINSON AND HAY WARD'S LINCOLN DIP, (POISONOUS), glyceriFe dip (NON-POISONOUS), WILL MIX WITH COLD WATER AND NOT DISCOLOR THE WOOL. f r>HESE DIPS used together In equal proportions gave the highest satisfaction last L SeaT as to evidenced by numerous Testimonials which can be seen at the ' Agents. The Glycerine Dip is the boat ever introduced for Wool Growing purposes ; and the Lincoln Dip is the most durable m the Wool, and will keep Bheep olean longer than any other yet known. The two Dips used together make a perfect Dip? and keep any ordinary flock of Bheep olean the whole season They combine highly nutritious »nd stimulating properties, as well as lasting qualities. They are certain killers of Tloks, their egge ; Lice, their ova ; and all parasites infesting the skins of Sheep. For very loußy and filthy longwool flocks, the LINCOLN DIP ALONE is recom- mended, being the most lasting m its effeots. Testimonials prove that m every instance sheep dipped In the mixture have come m a shearing with perfectly clean healthy skins, entirely free from vermin and parasites, and the wool peculiarly soft and beautifully glossy.

STEWARD^ KACINE FAN FAEM MILL. THE TESTED FARM MILL. The Cheapest and Best Fan Mill m the Market. No Farmer valuing Clean Eeed can afford to go without a RACINE FAN MILL. Practical Farmere have pronounced It the Best—read TESTIMONIAL below. While it haß capacity to Clean rom 60 to 90 bushels per honr. No. 1 FARM MILL Is 2ft Bin over all, and i- furnished with one Wheat Hurdle, one Wheat Screen and Grader with side epoufc, ono Barle> Sieve, and one Oat Sieve. Bieves for other purposes furnished and charged for as extras. mumu^ FFERRIMAN would call your atten- • tion to this Improved Farm Fanning Mill, which combines all the advantages of the various Mills now m use, and also the following important and greatly needed Improver ment s :— FmsT.— ln the width of the Mill, it being wider than most Farm Mills of similar sbse, thereby increasing the cleaning capacity to a large extent. Second.— Theimproved,plan of hanging the Bhoß upon strone strap-hinged hangers, thus preventing constant breakage. THIBD.—Tn the matter of fastening the drum or head to the posts by means of a cast- iron half circle, and secured to the posts by screws (instead of wooden cleats morticed into posts ard held k •* wooden keys), adding increased strength and dv ability to the Mill. Fourth.— The great a>- "antage of eaßily raising or lowering the slide <Ihe Hopper by means of a screw. The irons are of the most approved pattern, the wheel , pinion, and shake irons being extra strong The gearing is all placed on the inside of the Mill, out of the way. The bearing iB formed by the hub of the large wheel running m a thimble or box, three inches lontr, of Chilled Iron, and extending through the poets, giving it a steady and eaßy motion. For cleaning and separating all kinds of grain, we guarantee this Mill to be equal to, and m fact superior, m all respects, to ony now m use. The fan with wind boards are so^ arranged that the wind strikes the hurdle m" euch a manner as to blow all foul stuff and li<*ht grain over the hurdle The side spout delivers the No 1 grain at the side, and the No 2 grain at the front of the Mill. The grader cr.n be so adjusted as to separate and deliver through the side spout, a greater or less portion of the best grain- The wheat Bcreens and grader are bo arranged bb to » fEectually take out cockle from No 1 and No 2 wheat. No Farmer or Dealer should be without ono as they ate invaluable to all who wish to market tbei • seed m good condition, and thus save the heavy deductions usually made for impurities nnd foul stnff, and also the extra freight charges and ccsu of cleaning. They also save time, and by ths thorough and complete work which can be accomplished with them, soon repay the cost incurred m their purchase. To Farme-s raieing large quantities of Grain, or Seeds, we wpuldrecommond the No 2 Warehouee Mill, as specially adapted for their use, as the great saving of time wll l compensate for the differenca m the first cost. They can be xvn by hand as easily as a Farm Size, although constructed much heavier, and made more durable; Be g aided by the experience of others and order a "Racine' Mill." You dou't want a better iecord than it has. Read. MAUE A SPLENDID JOB. I put come bags cf wheat through last Bpring , they made a Bp'endid job. A neigh- bour borrowed mino to run through some oaty wheat : he was highly plea&rd with the job they made. — William Blakib, Hillfoot, Waiwera NEVER SAW ITS EQUAL; I have only used the " Sacine " Mill, aa yet, for dressing oats, wheat, and grass seed . It has given me great satisfaction. I have never 1 ■ seen its equal for grading wheat for seed, and , I have seen and helped to work a good many. —William Buook, Church Hill, Waiwera. 01 MPLIMENTAKY. I am very much pleased with it. — JOHN Cameron, Kwiffc Creek, Kelso. COULD NOT HAVE A BETTER CHARACTER. I have given the <4 Racine " Warehouß3 Fan ' Mill a good trial, and it gives every satisfac- tion. I c: nsider it a fixst-rate article. It cleans jit d grades grain rapidly and well, is strong, works smoothly, nn>i will, I think, prove durable. It is much superior to ony other machine of the kina I have ever seen. — F. W Mackenzie (the Captain), Pomahuka. BEbT MACHINE OF THE KIND I HAVE EVER SEEN. I have tried it with wheat, oats, and turnip seed. I can confidently say that it is all that it clnims i.o be. In fact, it is a Jong way the best machine of the kind I have ever S'.en. With a larger assortment of riddles, I believe it will drea> m a superior manner any kind of seedb.— William Littlejuhn, Waiwera. WOULD NOT LIKE TO WANT ONE NOW— NO ONE SHOULD. I can confidently recommend the "Racine" Fanners to do their work well, ana with extreme facility. I would not by any means like to want one now, and I think no farme should. — Davio Mackenzie, Waiwera.
