10J1G0 ' AN INEXPRESSIBLE BOON TO MOTHERS, Dr Auguste Kurpteiner's ELECTRO GALVANIC TEETHING NECKLET) ■ Endorsed by the Medical Faculty of Europe, And pronounced by a) Leading Physicians The Greatest Discovery of the Age * ■ ■ IN placing the Eleotrlo Necklet before the New Zealand pnblio the discoverer and proprietor bens to draw Special attention to the fact that the material sarronnd- Ing the Inner chain of metallic substances Is Impregnated with a obemloal solution,, harmless In lUolf, eni yet containing titanic x overs, whloh generate ft continuous light cnrrent of galvanism, and the Neoklet In oonseqnenoe contains all the virtues of a mlnlatnre battery, and Is therefore not a nseless article like so many of the so-oalled eleotrlo appliances, whloh cannot possibly produce any good results, as they are Inoomplete In the most essential requirements, and cannot generate galvanism not produce gaivanlo effeots. ' " "' This Neoklet is the outcome of a long-continued series of investigating experiments by that well-known and eminent soientist and specialist, Di Angnste Kurstelner, who Ib the highest European authority on all diseases of women and children The Lancet, the leading medical journal of the world, says :—" The faot that the discovery and Invention of these Necklets is announced by Dr Kurstelner Is a sufficient guarantee that a means has at last been discovered whloh will save the lives of millions of ohildren, 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 Success m England, on the Continent, and m the United States, and are now constantly prescribed by the most eminent physlolans m their daily practice. ' It is needless to oomment on the anxious and sleepless nlghti passed by thousands of mothers during the painful period of tho 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 Neoklet. In addition to the relief from pain afforded by the Necklet during the period of dentition, by its nerve giving force It wards off and prevents Measles,Whooplng dough, Scarlet Fever, Group, and Chicken Pox, thus relieving ohlldhood of Its martyrdom, and gladdening the heart of every mother who Invokes Its aid, Dr Kurstelner has appointed Messra CONROD A CO., Auokland, bis sole agents In New Zealand for the sale of these Neckletß, from whom only they can be obtained. The price has bqren placed at the very lowest possible point, ' point, bsreiy covering the cost of impotfaaiton, and is within the reach of all, afl one Necklet will last a life time. Aside from its many virtues as a remedial and preventive agent, the Necklet' a handsome ornament, and will be sent free on receipt of One Pound, by psUo mote, money order, 01 registered letter. No oheques received. Address- J. CONROD & CO., " P.O. Box 408, Auokland, N.Z. P£and D. Duncan, _ AGBICULTUBAL IMPLEMENT MANTJFACTUREBS, Ghbistohubch and Abblbubton. MAKKBB ot Ploughs).
