George Jameson^ A«WT ASHBURTO^ AN INEXPRESSIBLE BOON TO MOTHERS. • Dr Auguste Kur^teiner's ELECTRO G&LYANIC TEETHING NECKLET, Endorsed by the Mtedfcal Faculty of Europe, And pronounced by, all Leading Phyeiiians The Greaj;.9JLtJQis^very of the Age IN placing the Electric Necklet before the New Zealand pnblio the discoverer and proprietor begs to draw Special attention to the fi\ct that the material surround- ing the inner chain of ' metallic eub3tanoes is impregnated with a chemical eolut'on, harmless m itself, and yet containing titanic rovers, which generate a continuous light en r rent of galvanism, and the Necklet m consequence contains ail the virtues of a miniature battery, and is therefore not a useless article like en many of the co-called eleotrlo appliances, which cannot possibly produce any good results, as they are Incomplete m the moat essential requirements, and cannot generate galvanism nor produoe galvanio effects. This Neoklet Is the outcome of a long-continued series of investigating experiments by that well-known and eminent scientist and specialist, Dr Anguste Kursteiner, who is the highest Europesn authority on all diseases of women and children The Lancet, the leading medical journal of the world, says :— ls The fact that the diucovery &n\ invention of these Necklets is announced by Dr Kurateiner Is a sufficient guarantee that a means 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 Necklets 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 dally practice. It is needleos to comment on the anxious and sleepless nights pawed by thousands of mothers duting the painful period of the teething cf infants. Every day brings to an untimely grave hundreds of infants whose lives might have been saved by the use of the simple Necklet. In addition to the relief from pain afforded by tho Necklet during the period of dentitiou, by its nerve-giving force H warda off and prevents Measles, Whooping Cough, Scarlet Fever, Croup, and Oblckea Pox, thus relieving childhood of its martyrdom, and gladdening the heart of every mother who invokes its aid, Dr Kursteiner has appointed Mews CONROD X: CO., Auckland, his sole agents m New Zealand for the sfle of theeo Neoklets, from vrhoin only they can be obtained. The price has been placed at tli6 very lowest possible point, point, barely civeriog the cob t of importation, and is within the reaoh of all, as one Necklet will last a life time i Astfe from its many virtues m a. remedial and preventive agent, the Necklet i a hMidsocae ornament, and will ba aoot free on receipt of One Pound, by post* vote, money order, or registered letter.
