And prononnced by al ' • '- ; Leading Physicians 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 o? Metallic substances is Impregnated with a ; cbemioal solution, harmless m it*elf, anl yet containing titanic powers; which generate a continuous light current of galvanism, and the Neoklet m conseqnence contains all the virtues of a miniature battery, and is therefore not a useless article like so many; of the so-called eleotrio 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 Necklet ie the outcome of a long-continued series of investigating experiments by that well-known and eminent scientist and specialist, Dr A.nguste Kurstelner, who is the highest Europesn authority on all diseases of women and children The Lanobt, the leading medical journal of the world, aays :—" The f»ct that the discovery ani invention of these Nocklets is announced by Dr Kurntelner is a Buffioient 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 Now Zealand, these Necklets have beetfused for the last five years with the roost Wonderful Success In England, on the Continent, and In the United States, and are now constantly prescribed by the moat eminent physicians In their daily practice. i It is needless to comment on the 'anxious and sleepless nights parsed by thousands of mothers during the painful period of the teething of infants. Every day brings to an untimely grave hundreds of infantß whose lives might have been saved by the use of the simple Necklet. . V : In addition to the relief from pan afforded by the Necklet during the period of dentitiou, by ita nerve gtvrg force It wards off and prevents Measles, Whooping Oough, Scarlet Fever, Oroap, and Chicken Fox, thus relieving ohildhood of its martyrdom, and gladdening the heart of every mother who Invokeß Its aid, Dr Kurßteiner has appointed Messrs CONROD & CO., Auckland, bis sole agenta m New Zealand for the Bale of these Necklets, from <vhom only they can be obtained. The price has been placed at the very loweßt possible point, point, barely covering the coßt of importation, and 1b within the reach of all, as one Necklet will laßt a life time. Aside from its many virtues as a remedial and preventive agent, the Necklet 1 a handsome ornament, and will be sent free on receipt of One Pound, by posta note, money order, or registered letter.

FERRIMAK; FFEBBIMAN would call your attention • to this Improved Farm Fanning Mill which combines all the advantages of the various Milla now m use, and also the follow* ing impoitaut and greatly needed Improve* ments :— First.— ln the width of the Mill, it being wider than roost Farm Mills of similar sieo, thereby increasing the cleaning capacity to a large extent. bEOONn — The improved plan of hanging th shoe upon strong strap- hinged hangers, tbn preventing constant breakage. Third.— ld the mnbterr ! fastening the drum ha head to the posts fej means of a castiron lorf circle, and secured to the posts by screws (instead of wooden cleats morticed into poste and held by wooden keys), adding increased strength and durability to the Mill. Foueth. — The great advantage of raising or lowering the slide m the Hopper means of a screw. The irons «c 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 is formed by the hub of tbo large wheel run- ning m a thimble or box, three incheß long, of Chilled Iron and extending through the posts, 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 euperior, m all respects, to any now m use. The fan with wind boards are so ar- ranged that the wind strikes the hurdle m sash a manner as to blow all foul stuff and light grain over the hurdle. The side spout delivers the No 1 train at the side, and the No 2 grain at the front of the Mill. The grader can fee so adjusted as to separate and deliver through the side spout a greater or less portion of the best grain; The wheat Bcreens and grader are so arranged ns to effectually take out cccfele from No 1 and No 2 wheatt No Farmer or Dealer should be withont one 88 they are invaluable to all who wish to market their seed m good condition, and thus save the heavy deductions usually made tor impurities and foul stuff, and also the extra freight charges and cost of cleaning. They also save time, and by the thorough and com- plete work which can be accomplished with them, Eoon repay the cost incurred m their purchase. To Farmers raising large quantities of Grain, | or EflC'E, we would recommend the No 2 Ware- house Mill, as specially adapted for their nsa, as the great saving of time will compensate for the difference m the first cost. They can be ran by hand as easily ac a Farm Size, altho-igh constructed much heavier, and made more do r able. Be guided by experience of others and ordei a v Bacine Mill."

A neighbor borrowed mine to run through some oaty wbeat ; he was highly pleased with the job they made. — William Blaf c, Hilllort Waiwera. I NEVER SAW ITB EQOAL. 1 have only used tho " Racine " Mill, as yet, for dressing oats, wheat, and grass seed. It has given me great satisfaction, I have never, seen its equal for grading wheat for seed, and' i I have seen and helped io work a good many. —Wiiltam Brook, Church Hill. Waiwera. COMPLIMENTARY. I am very much pleased with it, — John Camkeon, Swift Creek, Kelso. COULD HOT BAVE A BETTER CHARACTER. I have given the " Bacine " Warehouse Fan Mill a good trial, and it gives every sa'ißiac* ton. I consider it a first-rate article. It ckanß and grades grain rapidly and well, is strong, works Bmoothly, and will, 1 think, prov* durable. It is much Erpcrior to any other machine of the kind I have ever seen.— F. W. Mackbnzib (the Captnin), Pontahaka. BEST MACHINE OF THE KIND I HAVE EVER SEEN. I have tried it with wheat, oats ; and turnip seed I can confidently say that it is all that it claims to be. In fact, it is a long way tho best machine of the kind I have ever seen. With a larger assortment of riddles, I believe it will drees m a euperior manner any kind Beeds.— William Littlejohn, Waiwera WOULD I>OT LIKE TO WANT ONE NOW— NO ONE SHOULD. I can confidently recommend the " Racine Fanners to do their work well, and witlv extreme facility.
