Dr Auguste Kursteiner's ELECTRO 6ALYANIG -if EETHING NECKLET] f Endorsed by the Medical Faculty of Europe, And pronounced by al Lea ling Physicians . , The Greatest Discf^l^ oi^ J^b IN placing the Electric Necklet before the New Zealand pnblio the discoverer and proprietor begs to draw Special attention to the fact that the material surround- ing the inner chain of metallic substances 1b impregnated with a chemical solution, harmless m itself, and yet containing titanic powers, whioh generate a continuous light enrrent of galvanism, and the Necklet m consequence contains ail the virtues of a miniature battery, and is therefore not; a nseleeß article like so many of the so>oalled electric 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 is the outcome of a long-continued series of Investigating experiments by that well-known and eminent scientist and specialist, Dr Auguete Kursteiner, who is the highest European authority on all diseases of women and children j. The Lanobt, the leading medical journal of the world, says :— " The hot that the disoovery and Invention of these Meckletß is announced by Dr Kursteiner is a sufficient guarantee that a means has at last been discovered which 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 Suoccbs 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 ' passed by thousands of mothers during the painful period of the teething of infants. Every day brings to an untimely grave hundreds of infants wboßß lives might have been saved by the me of the Blmple Necklet. In addition to the relief from pain afforded by the Necklet during the period of dentitiou, by its nerve-giving force it ward a off and prevents Measles, Whooping Cough, Scarlet Fever, Croup, and Chicken Pox, thus relieving phildhood of its martyrdom, and gladdening the heart of every mother who invokes Its aid, Dr Kursteiner has appointed Messrs CONROD & CO., Auokland, hla sole 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 lo vest possible point, 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 and 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. ■ • AddresH-J. CONROD ft CO., P.O. Box 408. Auokland, N. 2. m H E PREMIER COLONIAL COMPANY CANTERBURY BRANCH. $TARL!?"ED 1859.
