AN INEXPRESSIBLE BOON TO MOTHERS, Dr Augiiste Kurpteiner's W^m GftLYAHIC TEETHING NECKLET Endorsed by the Medical Faculty of Earope, And pronounced by al  Leading Physicians THe Greatest Discovery of the Age IN placing the Eleotrlo Necklet before the New Zealand pnblio the discoverer and proprietor begs to draw Special attention to the faotthat the material snrronnd- tng the inner chain of uetalllo substances is Impregnated with a chemical soTutlon, harmleßß In itself, anA yet containing titanic powers, whioh generate a continuous light enrrent of gatvaplsm, and the Necklet m oonsequence contains all the virtues of a miniature battery, and is therefore not a useless article like io many of the so-called eleotrlo appliances, whloh cannot possibly produce any good results, as they are incomplete m the most essential requirements, and oannot generate galvanism nor produce gaivanio effects. . , ' :. This Necklet Is the ontoome of a long-continued series of investigating experiments by that well-known and eminent scientist and specialist, Dr Aoguste Kursteiner, who is the highest Europesn authority on all diseases of women and children The Lanokt, the leading medical journal of the world, says :—" The fsot that the discovery and Invention of these Necklets Is announced by Dr Kuratelner is a sufficient guarantee that a means has at last been discovered whloh will save th* lives of millions of children, and relieve the anxiety of many mothers. ' h Although new to New Zealand, these Neoklets have been used for the last fiv« years with, the roost Wonderful Success In England, on the Continent, and In Iht United States, and are vow constantly prescribed by the most eminent physiolans In their dally practice. It is 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 Infants whose lives might have been saved by the use of the simple Necklet. In addition to the relief from pain. afforded by the Necklet during the period of dentition, by its nerve glvhg force it wards off and prevents Measles, Whooping Cough, Scarlet Fever, Croup f and Chioken Pox, J;hus relieving childhood of its martyrdom, and gladdening t?^e heart of every mother irho invokes its aid, ; Dr Kursteiner has appointed Messrs OONROD & CO., Auckland, bis sole; agents m New Zealand for the sale of these Neoklets, from ffhom onfy they can be obtained. The price has been placed at the very lowest possible point, 1 point, barely Covering the cost of Importation, and Is within the reaoh of all, as one Necklet will last a life time. , . Aside from Its many virtues as a remedial md preventive agent, the Neck let 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. OONROD &00., P.O.

No Farmer valuing Glean deed can sfL to go without a EACINE EAST MILL. Practical Farmers have pronounced it the Best— lead TESTIMONIALS below. While it has capacity to Clean from 60 to OO.bnshelii per hour. No. 1 FARM MILL Is 2ft Sin over all, and is furnished with Wheat Hurdle, one Wheat Screen anO with side spout, one Barley Sieve, snone Bieve. Sieves for other purpose! urnt and charged for as extras. | F. FBBBIMAft; T7l FBBBIMAN would call your attention ? • to tbie Improved Farm Fanning Mill whioi combinea all the advantages of the various Mills now m use, and also the follow- ing important and greatly needed Improve- nonta :•— Fibbt.— ln the width of the Mill, it being wider thah most Farm Mills of similar size, thereby increasing the cleaning capacity to a large extent. Bboohd.— The improved plan of hanging th shoe upon strong strap-hinged hangers, thu preventing constant breakage. Third.— ld themalterrf fastening the dram ha head to the posts by means of a castiron lorf circle, and secured to the posts by screws (instead of woodea cleats morticed into posts and held by wooden keys), adding increased ' strength and durability to the Mill. Fourth.— The great advantage of raising or lowering the slide m the Hopper means of a screw. The irons ue of the most approved the wheel, pinion, and shake irons being strong. The gearing is all placed on theinv side of the mill, out of the way. The bearing > is formed by the hub of the large wheel run- ning m a thimble or box, three inches long, of Chilled Iron and extending through the posts, giving it a steady and easy motion. " For cleaning and ssparating all kinds of grain, we guarantee thie Mill to be equal to, and m fact superior, m all respects, to any now m use. The fan with wind boards are so ar- ranged that the wind tcrikes the hurdle m such I a manner as to blow all foul stuff and lignt grain over the hurdle. The side spout delivers the No 1 grain at the Bide, and the No 2 grain at the front of the Mill. The grader can »c so adjusted as to separate and deliver through the side spout a greater or leas portion of tho best grain; The wheat screens and grader are so arranged as to effectually take ont cockle from No 1 and No 2 wheat< No Farmer or Dealer should be without one ss they are inraluable to all who wish to market their seed m good condition, and thus save the heavy deductions nsnally made for impurities and f onl stuff, and also tho extra freight charges and cost of cleaning. They aIBO save time, and by the thorongh and com* plete work which can be accomplished with them, soon repay the cost incurred m their purchase. To Farmers raising large quantities of Grain, or Seeta, we would recommend the No 2 Ware- house Mill, as epecially adapted for their nss, as the great saving of time will compensate for the difference m the first coat. They can be ran by hand ac easily aa a Farm Size, althoogh constructed much heavier, and made more durable. Be gnided by experience of others and erder a w Bacine Mill." Ton don't want a better record than it has. Bead. 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, Hillfort W&iwfirfi NEVER SAW ITS EQjAL. I have only used the * Bacine " 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 have Been and helped io work a good many. — WitLiAM Brook, Church Hill. Waiwera. COMPLIMENTARY. I am very much pleased with it,— JOHN Oamkrow, Bwif t Creek, Kelao. COULD NOT BAVB A BETTER CHARACTER.' I have given the " Bacine " Warehouse Fan Mill a good trial, and it gives every sa+istac- t ; on. I consider it * first-rate article. It cleans and grades grain rapidly and well, is strong, works smoothly,and will, I think, prove durable. It iB much Superior to any other machine of the kind I have ever wen.— ¥,"W, Mackenzie (the Captain), Ponaahaka. 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 » long way the best machine of the kind I have ever seen. With a larger assortment of riddles, I believe it will drees m a superior manner any kind seeds.— William Littlejohjs, Waiwera WOULD ISOT LIKE TO WANT ONE NOW— NO ONE SHOULD. I can confidently recommend the " Racine Fanners t« do their work well, and wit*, extreme facility. I would not by any means like to want one now, and I think no farmer should— David Maokbnzib, Waiwera.
