Dr Auguste Kureteiner's ELECTRO GALVANIC TEETHING NECKLET, Endorsed by the Medical Faculty of Europe, And pronounced by all Leaving Physicians The Greatest Discovery of the Age IN pacing the Electric Necklet before the New Zealand public; the discoverer and proprietor bees to draw Special attention to the fact that <he nißteti:il surround- ing the irn^r chain tf motHllic substances is Impregnated with a chemical solution, harmless m itielf, ond yet containing tiianic rowers, which generate a continuous light enrreot of galvaniam, and ihe Necklet m consequence contains ail the viituea of * miniature battery, and is therefore not a useless artic!o like an many of the eo-oal'ed lectric appliances, which cannofc pesaibly produce any good results, as they are incomplete m the rccst essential requirements, and cannot generate galvanism nor produce gaivau'c effycte. This Necklot In the outcome of a long-continued series of investigating vvxperimonts by that well-known and eminent scientist and specialist, Dc Auguste Kurstoiner, who is the highest European authority on all diseases of women and children The Lancet, the leading medical journal of the world, Gays :— Ci The fact lh*t the discovery ani invention of these Necklets is announced by Dr Kursteiner is a sufficient guarantee that a means has at lost been discovered whioh will save the lives of millions of children, anc". relieve the anxiety of ruanr moihers " Although now to Now Zealand, these Necklets have been used for the lost five years. with the roost Wonderful Success m England, on the Continent, and m the United States, and are now constantly prescribed by the moet eminent physicians m their daily practice. It is needless to comment on the 'auxioos and sleepless .nights paßßod by thousands of mothers during the panful period of the teething c f infantß. Every day brings to an untimely grave hundreds of infants whose lives might have been saved by the use of the simple Necklot. In eddition to the relief from pv'n afforded by tho Necklet during the period of dentition, by Its nerve-gvi-g forco it warrln off and prevents Mesnles, Whooping Cough, Scarlet Fever, Croup, ond Chioken Pox, thus relieving childhood of its martyrdom, and gladdening the heart of every mcther who invokes its aid, Dr Kursteiner has appointed Messrs CONFOD & CO., Auckland, hie aole agents m New Zealand for the 3&le of theee Neqklets, from tfhom only they can be obtained. The price has bren placed at th 6 very loivest possible point, point, barely covering the cost of importation, and ia within tho reach of all, as one Necklet will last a lifo time. Asl3e from its many virtues aa a remedial and preventive agent, the Necklet 1 » a handsome ornament, and will be sent free on receipt of One Pouod, by poofca vote, money order, or registered letter.
