LAN INEXPRESSIBLE BOON TO MOTHERS. Dr Auguste Kurpteiner's ELECTRO GALVANIC TEETHffIG NECKLET t Endorsed by the Medical Faculty of Europe, And pronounced by al Leading Physicians The Greatest Discovery of the Age IN placing the Electrio Neoklet 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 ot metallio substances is l&pregnatpd with a obemloal solution, harmless m itself, an.i yet containing titanic rowers, 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 artiole like so many of the so-called electrio appliances, wbioh cannot possibly produce any good results, as they are incomplete In the most essential requirements, and oannot generate galvanism nor produoe gaivanlo effeots. This Neoklet 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 Lanokt, the leading medioal journal of the world, says : — '• The fact 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 wbioh 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 Success m England, on the Oontlnent, and In the United States, and are now oonstantly prescribed by the most eminent physicians In their daily practice. It is noedless to : comment on tho anxious and sleepless nights passed by -'thousands of mothers during the palbful period of tbe teething of Infants. Every day brings to an untimely grave hundreds of Infants whose lives might have been saved by tbe use of the Bimple Neoklet. In addition to the relief from pain afforded by the Necklet during the period of dentitioa, by its nerve-giv_-g;force it wards off and provents Measles, Whooping Cfcugh, Scarlet Fever, Croup, and Chicken Pox, thuß relieving childhood of its uiar.yr..o.u, uuu gmarieuii-tt ..... heart v. overy mother who Invokes Its aid, Dr Kurstelner has appointed Messrs CONROD & CO., Auckland, his sole agents m New Zealand for the sale of theee Necklets, from whom only they can be obtained. The price has been placed at the very lowest possible point, point, bsrely 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 Neoklet 1 a handsome ornament, and will be sent free on receipt of One Pound, by posta vote, money order, or registered letter. No cheques received. Address- J. OONROD&OO., P.O. Box 408. Auckland, N.Z. < DIPPING SmM&QM. 1887. TOMLINSON AND MfWARD'B LINCOLN DIP, (POISONOUS), GLYCERINE DIP (NON-POISONOUS), WILL MIX WITH COLD WATER AND NOT DISCOLOR THE WOOL. rPHESE DIPS used together In equal proportions gave the highest satisfaction last JL Sea"' aa Is evidenced by numerous Testimonials whioh can be seen at the Agents.

No Farmer valuing Olean (Seed can aft to co with nt a EACINE FAN MILL. Practical Farmera have prononnced it thb Beet— read TESTIMONIALS below. While it has capacity to Clean from 60 to 90 buahelß per hour. Ho. 1 FARM MILL Is 2ft Bin over all, and is furnished with Wheat Hurdle, one Wheat Screen and Grade with Bide Bpont, ene Barley j. i eve, and one Oat Sieve. Sieves for other purposes furnished and charged for as extra., 1?. FBBBIMAW. FFERBIMAH would call your attention a to this Improved Farm Fanning Mill which combines aU the advantages of the various Millfl now m use, and also the follow- ing important and greatly needed Improve* ments : — FIRST. — In tho width of the Mill, it being wider thah most Farm Millß of similar size, thereby increasing the cleaning capacity to a large extent. BKCOHn.— The improved plan of hanging th shoe npon itrong strap-hinged hangers, thu preventing constant breakage. Third.— ln thematterf t fastening the drum ha head to the posts k J means of a castiron lorf circle, and secured to the posta by screws (instead of wooden cleats morticed into posta and held by wooden keys), ndding 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 are of the mest approved the wheel, pinion, and shake irons being strong. The gearing is all placed on the in* side of the mill, ont of the way. The bearing is formed by the hub of the large wheel run- ning m a thimble or box, threo inches long, of Chilled Iron and extending through the posts, giving it a steady and easy motion. For 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 use. The fan with wind boards are so ar- * ranged that the wind strikes the hurdle m such a manner as to blotf all fcul stuff and light grain over the hurdle. The side Bpont delivers j the No 1 £ rain at the side, and the No 2 grain at the front of the Mill. The grader can be so adjusted as to Beparate and deliver through the side Bpont a greater or less portion of the best grain. The wheat screens and grader are so arranged as to effectually take out o:c__e from No 1 and No 2 wheat. No Farmer or Dealer should ba without one as they are inraluable to all who wish to market their seed m good condition, and thus save the heavy deductions usually made for impuritieß 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, soon repay the cost incurred m their purchase. To Farmers raisin gjlarge quantities of Grain, or Beertp, we would recommend the No 2 Ware- house Mil), as specially adapted for their use, as the great saving of time will compensate for the difference m the first co .t. They can be run by hand aB easily aa a Farm B'ze, altho igh constructed much heavier, and made more durable. Be guided by experience of others and order a "Bacine Mill." You don't want a better record than it has. Bead. MADE A SPLUNDID 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 Blav c, Hillfort ; Waiwera. j NEVER SAW ITS EQd AL. I I have only used the " Kacine " MIU, as yet, for dressing oate, wheat, and grass eeed. It has given ma great satisfaction, I bavo never seen ite equal for grading wheat for Beed, and I have seen and helped io work a good many, —Wiiliam Brook, Church Hill, Waiwera. COMPLIMENTARY. I am very much pleased with it, — John O ambroh, Bwift Creek, Kelso. COTJLD NOT BAVE A BETTER CHARACTER. I have given the •• Racine " 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 Btrong, works smoothly, and will, I think, prove durable. It is much Svperior to any other machine of the kind I have ever seen.— F. W. Mackenzie (the Captain). Ponsahaka. 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 claimß 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 seeds.— William Littlkjohn, Waiwera WOULD hOT LIKE TO WANT ONE NOW— NO ONE BHOULD. I can confidently recommend the " Racine Fanners ta do their work well, and with extreme facility. I would not by any means like te want one now, and I think no farmer Bhould— David Mackenzie, Waiwera. Want of space, not of TESTIMONIAL (more may be perused by tho.6^ requiring more testimony), requires our making a halt lust h_re, but we invite you to call and inspect MILLS and TESTIMONIALS. F.
