I Dr Auguste Kiirsteiner's ELECTRO GALVANIC TEETHING NECKLET, Endorsed by the Mad leal Faculty of Europe, And pronounced, by all : I ; •-.■'■ Leading -Physicians ' The Greatest Discovery of the Age IN placing the Elect rlo Necklet before the New Zealand pnblio the discoverer and proprietor begs to draw Kpeoial attention to the factihat the material surround- ing the inner chain of metallic substances is impregnated with a chemical solution, harmless m itself, and yet containing tiianio rowers, whioh generate a continuous light onrrent of galvanism, and the Necklet m consequence contains ail the virtues of a miniature battery, and is therefore not a useless article like so many of the so-called electric appliances, whioh cannot possibly produce any good results, as they are Incomplete m the most essential requirements, and cannot generate galvanism nor produce galvanic effects. This Neoklet la the outcome of a loDg-oontinued series of investigating experiments by that well-known and eminent scientist and specialist, Dr Aoguste Kuratelner, who is the highest Europesn authority on all diseases of women and children The Lancet, the leading medical journal of the world, says : — " The fact that the discovery and Invention of these Necklets is announced by Dr Kursteiner is a sufficient guarantee that a means has at last been discovered whioh 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 last five years with the most Wonderful Succobs m England, on the Continent, and m the United States, and are now constantly prescribed by the most eminent physicians In their daily practice. , 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 bringß to %n 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 dentitiou, by its nerve-giving force it wards off and prevents Measles, 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 «v. CO., Auckland, his sole agents m New. Zealand for the sale of these Necklets, from vrhom only they can 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, aB one Necklet will last a life time. Aside from its many virtues an a remedial and preventive agent, the Necklet i a hindsome ornament, and will be aent free on receipt of One Pound, by posto vote, money order, or registered letter.
