AN INEXPRESSIBLE BOON TO MOTHERS, Dr Auguste Kursteiner's ELECTRO GALYAWC TEETHING NECKLET Endorsed by the Medical Faculty of Europe, And pronounced by al Leading Physicians The Greatest Discovery of the Age IN placing the Electric Necklet before the New Zealand pnbllo the discoverer and proprietor begs to draw Speoial attention to the fact that the material surround- ing the inner chain of metallic substances is Impregnated with a cbemloal solution, harmless m itself, ancl yet containing titanio powers, whioh generate a continuous light current of galvanism, and the Neoklet m consequence contains ail the virtues of a miniature battery, and is therefore not a useless article like so many of the so-called eleotrlo appliances, which cannot possibly produoe any good results, as they are Incomplete In the most essential requirements, and cannot generate galvanism nor produce galvanlo effeots. This Necklet Is the outcome of a long-continued series of Investigating experiments by that well-known and eminent scientist and specialist, Dr Auguste Kurstelner, who is the highest Europesn authority on all diseases of women and children The Lanobt, the leading medical journal of the world, says : — " The foot that the discovery and invention of these Necklets la announced by Dr Kursteiner is a ' auffioient 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 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 physicians m their daily practice. It ia needless to comment on the anxious and sleepless nights passed by thousands of mothers during the painful period of the teething of infants. Every day brings to an untimely grave hundreds of infantß whose Hvob might have been saved by the uae of the simple Necklet. In addition to the roller from pain afforded by the Necklet during the period of dentition, by its nerve givfrg force it wards off and prevents Measles, Whooping Cough, Scarlet Fever, Croup, and Chicken Pox, thus relieving ohildhood of Its martyrdom, and gladdening the heart of every mother who Invokes its aid, Dr Kurstelner has appointed Messrs CONROD & CO., Auokland, bis lole agents m New Zealand for the sale of these Necklets, from *horn only they can be obtained. The price has been placed at the very lowest possible point, point, bsrely covering the oosl of Importation, and is within the reach of all, as one Neoklet will last a life time. A Bide from its many virtues as a remedial md preventive agent, the Necklet i a handsome ornament, and will be sent free on receipt of One Pound, by posta note, money order, or registered letter. No cheques received. Address- J. 0ONROD&0O., P.O. Box 408, Auokland, N.Z. W. PATCHING, TENT, TARPAULIN, FLAG, AND HORSECLOTH MANUFACTURER.

While it has capacity to Clean from' 6o to 90 bushels per hour.

Sieveß for other purposes nrni and charged for as extras. F. FBBRIMAN. FFBRRIMAN wonld call your attention « to this Inproved Farm Fanning Mill which combinea all the advantages of the various Mills now m üb£, and also the follow* ing important and greatly needed Improve* mente : — First.— ln the width of the Mill, it being wider than most Farm Mills of similar siz?, thereby increasing the cleaning capacity to a large extent. BEcoNn.-— The improved plan of hanging th shoe upon strong strap-hinged hangers, thn preventing constant breakage. Thibd.— ld the matter^ t fastening the dram ha head to the posta bj means of a castiron lorf circle, »nd secured to the poeta by screws (instead of wooden cleats morticed into pouts , and held by wooden keys), adding increased strength and durability to tho Mill. Fourth.— The grent advantage of raising or lowering the slide m the Hopper means of a screw. The irons Me of the most approved the wheel, pinion, and shake irons being strong. The gearing is all placed on the in* Bide of the mill, out of the way. The bearing is formed by the hnb of the large wheel run- ning m a thimble or box, three inches long, of Chilled Iron and extending through the poeta, giving it a steady and easy motion. Foi cleaning and separating all kinds of grain, we guarantee thie Mill to be equal to, and m fact superior, m all respects, to any now m nse. The fan with wind boards are so ar- ranged that the wind strikes the hurdle m each at manner as to blow all fcul stuff and light i graiu 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 be 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 bo arranged as to effectually take out ccckle from No 1 and No 2 wheat* No Farmer or Dealer should be without one bb they are inraluable to all who wish to market their seed m good condition, and thus save the 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 the thorough and com- plete work which can be accomplished with them, Boon repay the cost incurred m their pnrchase. To Farmers raising large quantities of Grain, or Seeds, we would recommend the No 2 Ware- house Mill, as specially adapted for their use, as the great saving of time will compensate for the difference m the first cost. They can be run by hand as easily aa a Farm Size, although constructed much heavier, and made more durable. Be guided by experience of otherß and order a "Racine Mill." You don't want a better record than it has. Read, MADE A SPLENDID JOB. I put some bags of wheat through last spring, they made a splendid job. A neighbor borrowed mine to run through some oaty wheat; he was highly pleased with the job they made;— William Blaf b, HUlfort Waiwera. NEVER SAW ITS EQJAL. 1 have only used the " Racine " Mill, as yet, for dressing oata, wheat, and graea seed. It has given me great satisfaction. I have never seen its equal for grading wheat for seed, and I have seen and helped te work a good many. —William Brook, Church Hill. Waiwera. COMPLIMENTARY. I am very much pleased with it, — John Cameron, Swift Creek, Kelso. COULD NOT HAVE A BETTER CHARACTER. I have given the •' Racine " Warehouse Fan Mill a good trial, and it gives every sa'isfac- tfon. I consider it » first-rate article. It olrans and gradeß grain rapidly and well, is Btron g, works smoothly , and will, I think, prove durable. It ia much Bvperior 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 eeed I can confidently say that it is all that it claims to be. In fact, it is a long way the best machine of the kind I have ever seen. With a larger assortment of riddles, I believe it will dress m a superior manner any kind eeedß.— William Littlejohit, Waiwera WOULD ISOT LIKE TO WANT ONE NOW— NO ONE SHOULD, lean confidently recommend the "Racino Fanners te do their work well, and witlv extreme facility. I would not by any means like to want one now, and I think no farmer should.— David Mackenzie Waiwera.
