AN INEXPRESSIBLE BOON TO MOTHERS. Dr Auguste Kursteiner's ELECTRO GALVANIC TEETHING NECKLET Endorsed by the Medloal Faculty of Europe, ' And pronounced by al Leading Physicians The Greatest Discovery of the Age IN piecing the Electric Neoklet before the New Zealand pnblio the dlsooverer and proprietor begs to draw Special attention to the faot that the material surround- ing the inner ohain of uetallio substances is Impregnated with. a chemical solution j harmless In itself, an.l yet containing titanic powers, whloh generate a continuous light onrrent of galvanism, and the Neoklet m consequence contains all the virtue* of <s miniature battery , and is therefore not a useless article like bo many of the 10-oalled >leotrlo appliances, which cannot possibly produce any good results, as they are incomplete In the most eseentlal requirements, and cannot generate galvanism nor produce galvanio effects. This Necklet la the outoome of a long-oontlnued serieß of Investigating experiments by that well-known and eminent scientist and specialist, Dr A agnate Kurstelner, who is the highest European authority on all diseases of women and children The Lancet, the leading medioal journal of the world, says: — "The faot that the discovery an-i invention of these Necklets Is announced by Dr Kurstelner Is • 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 Sucogbb m England, on the Continent, and m the United States, and are now constantly prescribed by the most eminent physicians In their daily practice. It is needleeß to comment on the anxious and sleepless nights passed by thousands of mothers during 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 Neoklet. Tn addition to the relief from pain 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 Chicken Fox, thus relieving childhood of its martyrdom, 'and gladdening the heart of every mother who invokes itß aid, Dr Kursteiner has appointed Mesßrs GONROD & CO., Auckland, his sole agents m New Zealand for the sale of these Necklets, from Arhom only they can be obtained. The price has been placed at tho very lowest possible point, point, barely covering the cost of importation, and is within the reach of all, as one Necklet will last a life time. Aalde from its many virtues as a remedial snd preventive agent, the Necklet 1 a handsome ornament, and will be sent free on receipt of One Pound, by poota vote, money order, or registered letter. No ohequeß received. Address- J. GONROD & 00., P.O. Box 408, Auckland, N.Z. W.

FFEBBIMAN wonld call your attention • to this Improved Farm Fanning Mill whicb combiner all the advartogrs of tho various Mills now m nst, and also the follow* ing important and greatly needed Improve- menta :— Fiubt.— ln the width of the Mill, it being wider than most Farm Mills of similar eiz", thereby increasing the cleaning capacity to a large extent. Bkoond— The improved plan of hanging th shoe upon strong strap-hinged hangers, thn preventing constant breakage. Third.— lo the matter c f fastening the drum ha head to ihe pwta hj means of a castiron lorf circle, and secured to the poets by sorewa (inßtoad of wooden cleats morticed into poets and held by wooden keys), adding Increased strength and durability to the Mill. Fourth.— The great advantage of raising or lowering the Blide m the Hopper means of a screw. The irons we of the most approved the wheel, pinion, and shake irons being strong. The gearing is all placed on the in* side of the mill, out of the way. The bearing ia formed by the bob of the large wheel run- ning m a thimble or box, three inches long, of Chilled Iron and extending throngh the ponta, giving it a steady and easy motion. For cleaning and separating all kinds of grain, we guarantee thie Mill to be equal to, and m fact Buperior, m all respects, to any now m use. The fan with wind boards are so ar- ranged that the wind strikes thehnrdlo m such a manner as to blow all fcul stuff and light . grain over the hurdle. Tho side spout delivers the No 1 firain 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 throngh the side Bpont a greater or less portion of the best grain; The wheat screens and grader aro so arranged as to effectually take out o'.cklo from No 1 and No 2 wheat, No Farmer or Dealer should bo without one os they are inralnable to all who wish to market their seed m good condition, and thus save tho heavy deductions usually made for impurities and foul stuff, and also the extra freight charges and cost of cleaning. They also save time, and by tho thorough and com- plete work which can be accomplished with them, coon repay the cost incurred m their purchase. To Farmerß raising large quantities of Grain, or Eoe^B, we would recommend tho No 2 Ware- house Mill, as specially adapted for their uso, as the great saving of time will compensate for the difference m the firßt cost. They can bo ran by hand as easily aa a Farm Size, altho igh constructed much heavier, and mado more durable. Be guided by vxperienco of others and erder a "Racine Mill." Tou don't want a better record than it has. Read. MAUE A SPLENDID JOB. I put Bomo bags of wheat through last spring, they mado a splendid job. A neighbor | borrowed mine to run through Borne oaty wheat; he was highly pleoßed with the job they made. — William Blaf b, Hillfort Waiwera. I NEVER SAW ITS EQJAL. I have only used the " Racine " Mill, as yet, for dressing oats, wheat, and grasa Bood. It has given me great satisfaction. I have never seen itß equal for grading wheat for seed, and I have seen and helped te work a good many. — Wuliam Buook, (/hurch Hill. Waiwera. COMPLIMENTARY. I am very much pleased with it,— JOHN Cameron, Swift Creek, Keleo. COULD NOT HAVE A BETTER CHARACTER. I have given the " Racine " Warehouso Fan Mill a gooi trial, and it gives every sa^ialac- t on. I consider it * first- rate article. It cUans and grades grain rapidly and well, is strong, works smoothly, and will, I think, prove durable. It is much (Superior to any other machine of the kind I have ever seen. — F. W. Mackenzie (the Captain), Pomahaka. BEST MACHINE OF THE KIND I HAVE EVER SEEN. I have tried it with wheat, -oats, and turnip poed 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 have ever soon. With a larger assortment of riddles, I believe it will dress m a* superior manner any kind eeeds.— William Littxejohzt, Waiwera WOULD JSOT LIKE TO WANT ONE NOW— NO ONE SHOULD. I can confidently recommend the " Racine 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 should.— David Mackenzie), Waiwera.
