Dr Auguste Kur^teiner's ELECTRO GALVANIC TEETHING NECKLET Endorsed by the Medical Faculty of Europe, And pronounced by al Leading Physicians The Greatest Discovery of th.c Age TN placing the Electric Neoklet before the New Zealand pnbllo the digcoveree and X proprietor begs to draw Special attention to the fact that the material surround- ing the inner chain of metallic eabßtancea is impregnated with a chemical solution, harmless m itself, and yet containing titanlo powers, which generate a continuous light current of galvanism, and the Neoklet m oonaequence contains all the virtues of a miniature battery, and is therefore not a useless article like bo many of the so-called electric appliances, which cannot poasibly produce any good results, as they are Incomplete m the most eseential requirements, and cannot generate galvanism nor produce galvanic effects. This Neoklet is the ontcomo of a long-continued Berles of investigating experiments by that well-known and eminent scientist and specialist, Dr Augusto Kursteiner, who Is the highest European authority on all diseases of women and children The Lancet, the leading medical journal of the world, sayß : — '• The faofc that the discovery an'l invention of these Necklets is announced by Dr Kurßtelner 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 now to New Zealand, these Necklets have been ÜBed for the l&Bt five years with the moat Wonderful Succobs 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 needless to comment on the' anxious and sleepless nights papsed by thousands of mothers during the painful period of the teething of infants. Every day brings to an untimely grave hundreds of infants whose lives might have been saved by the uae of the simple Necklet. ■ Tn Addition to the relief from pa(n afforded by the Necklet during the period of fontitioa, by its nerve-givfrg force it wards off and prevents Measles, Whooping Cotgh, Scarlet Fever, Croup, and Chicken Pox, thus, relieving childhood of its mirtjrrdom, and gladdening tUo heart of every mother who invokes ltß aid, Dr Kurateiner has appointed Messrs CONBOD & CO., Auckland, his sole rgonts m New Zealand for the oale c* these "Necklets, from ffhom 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, rb one Necklet will last a life time. * , <> '--'■■■ AaMofrom its many virtues as a remedial and preventive agent, the Neck let i ; a handsome ornament, and "will be Bent free on receipt of One Pound, by posts note* money order, or registered letter.

No Farmer valuing Clean cseed can eft to co withrnt a RACINE FAN MILL. Practical Fanners have pronounced it thb Best— read TESTIMONIALS below. While it has capacity to Clean from 60 to 90 bushels per hoar. Ho. 1 FARM MILL Is Sft Bin over all, and is furnished with Wheat Hnrdle, one Wheat Bcieen and Gra with eide Bpont, one Barley Sieve, and one O Sieve. Bieveß for other pnrpeses famish and charged for as extras. P. F3JBBIMAN; FFEBRIMAN would call your attention • to this Improved Farm Fanning Mill which combinea all the advartogca of the various MUla now m übc, and also the follow- ing important and greatly needed Improve- ments :— » First.— ln the width of the Mill, it being wider thah most Farm Mills of similar size, thereby increasing the cleaning capacity to a large extent. Shcond. — The improved plan of hanging th shoe upon otrong strap- hinged' hangors, tha preventing constant breakage. THIRD. — Ip the. mnitft:-' I faftf en-wr-ths (byi*^ vu- v3o po6t(L- »y.-CJB*jQa or » cgarcroa • Ibrf Tarcie, »nd secured to the posta by screws (instead of wooden cleats morticed into posta and held by wooden keys), adding increased strength and durability to the Mill. Foubth.— The great advantage of raising or lowering the elide m the Hopper means of a screw. The irons ?io of the most approved the wheel, pinion, and shake irons being strong. Toe gearing is all placed on the In* eide of the mill, out of the way. The bearing is formed by the hub of the largo wheel run- ning m a thimble or box, three inches lone, of Chilled Iron and extending through the po*tß, giving it a steady and easy moti«n. For cleaning and separating all kinds of grain, we guarantee tbie Mill to be equal to, and m fact superior, m all respects, to any now m are. The fan with wind boards are bo ar- ranged that the wind strikes the hnrdle m sn?h a manner as to blow all foul stuff and light grain over the hurdle. The side Bpont delivers the No 1 train at the side, and the No 2 grain at the front of the Mill. The grader can be so adjusted as to separate and deliver through the side Bpont a greater or Icsb portion of the best grain; The wheat screens and grader are Bo arranged as to effectually take out ccckle from No 1 and No 2 wheat* No Farmer or Dealer should be without one pb they are inraluable to aH who wish to market their eeed m good condition, and thus save the heavy deductions usually made for impurities and foul stuff, and also the extra freight charges and cost of cleaning. They also Bare time, and by the thorough and com- plete work which can be accomplished with them, goon repay the cost incurred m their purchase. To Farmers raising large quantities of Grain, or Ece J B, we would recommend the No 2 Ware- house Mill, as specially adapted for their use, as the greatsaving of time will compensate for the difference m the first cost. They can be ran by hand as easily a* a Farm Size, although constructed much heavier, and made more du'able. Be guided by experience of others and erdei a "Bacine Mill." You don't want a better record than it has. Bead. MADE A SPLENDID JOB. I put some bags of •wheat through last spring, they made a splendid job. A neighbor borrowed mine to run through some oaty wheat ; he was highly pleased with the job they made. — William Blaf b, Hillfort Waiwera. NBYEB SAW ITS EQ*)AL. 1 have only used the " Bacme " Mill, flB yet, for dressing oats, wheat, and grass eeed. It has given me great satisfaction. I have never seen its equal for grading wheat for seed, and I have seen and helped io work a good many. — William Brook, Church Hill. Waiwera. COMPLIMBNTABY. I am very much pleased with it, — John Cameron, Swift Creek, Kelso. COULD NOT BAVJS A BETTEB CHABACTEB. I have given the ll Bacine " Warehouse Fan Mill a good trial, and it gives every sa'islac- f'on. I consider it a first-rate article. It cleans and grades grain rapidly and well, is strong, works smoothly, and will, I think, prove durable. It is much Ecperior to any other machine of the kind I have ever Been,— F. W. Mackknzih fthe Captain). Pomahaka. BEST MACHINE OF THE KIND I HAYS EVES BEEN. I have tried it with wheat, oatB ; and turnip eeed. I can confidently say that it is all that it claims to be- In fact, it ia a long way the best machine of the kind I hava ever seen. With a larger assortment of riddles, I believo .it will drees m a superior manner any kind seeds. — "William Littlejohn, Waiwera WOULD INOT LIKE TO WANT ONE NOW— NO ONE SHOULD. I can confidently recommend the " Bacino Fanners te do their work well, and witK extreme facility. I would not by any means like to want one now, and I think* no farmer ehould— David Mackenzie, Waiwer*. Want of space, not of TESTIMONIAL (more may be perused by those requiring more testimony), requires our making a halt just htre.but we invite you to call and inspect kILLS and TESTIMONIAL? JT.
