Dr Auguste Kurpteiner's ELECTRO GALVANIC TEETHING NECKLET* Endorsed by the Medical Faculty of Europe, ' And prononnccd by al Leatiing Phyßiciano The Greatest Discovery of the Age IN placing the Electric 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 chain of metallic substances is impregnated with a chemical solution, harmless In itself, and yet containing tiianio powers, which generate a continuous light cnrrent of galvanism, and the Necklet In consequence contains ail the virtues of a miniature battery, end ia therefore not a useless article like so many of the so-called eleotrlo appliances, which cannot possibly produce any good results, as they are Incomplete In the most essential requirements, and cannot generate galvanism nor produce galvanic effects. This Neoklet Is the outcome, of a long-continued Beries of Investigating experiments by that well-known and eminent scientist and specialist, Dr Aoguste Kurßteiner, who is ihe highest Europeßn authority on all diseases of women and children The Lanoet, the leading medical journal of the world, says :— " The ftot that the discovery and invention of these Booklets is announced by Dr Kurstelner is! a sufficient guarantee that a means has at laijt 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 laat five years with the rooßt Wonderful Success m England, on the Continent, and m the United Statoa, and are now constantly prescribed by the moet eminent physicians In their daily practice. It is needleus to comment on the anxious and sleepletm nights paused by thoueands of mothers during tho 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 use of the simple Necklet. In addition to the reliei from pain afforded by the Necklet during the period of dentition, by its nerve-givhg forca It warda off and prevents Meaeles, Whooping Cough, Scarlet Fever, Croup, and Chicken Pox, thus relieving childhood of its martyrdom, and gladdening the heart of every mother who Invokes its aid, Dr Kursteiner has appointed Messrs CONROD & CO., Auokland, his Hole agentß m New Zealand for the oalo of theee Necklets, from ffhom only they oan be obtained. The price has been placed at the very .lowest possible point, point, barely covering the cost of importation, and Is within the reaoh of all, as one Necklet will last a life time. Aside from its many virtues as a remedial and preventive agent, the Necklet i , a handsome ornament, and will be sent free on receipt of One Pound, by post* note, money order, or registered letter. No chequea received. Address- J. CONROD & CO., P.O.
