Bu sin ess Notices AN INEXPRESSIBLE BOON TO MOTHERS, Dr Auguste Kureteiner's ! ELECTRO GALVANIC TEETHING NECKLET] Endowed by the Medical Faculty of Europe, And pronounced by al Leading -Physicians The Greatest Discovery of the Age IN plaolng the Electric Necklet before the New Zealand public the discoverer and proprietor begs to draw Speoial attention to the fact that the material snrround- lng the Inner ohaln of metalllo substances Is Impregnated with a chemical solution, haimleßß In Itself, and yet containing tltanlo powers, which generate a continuous light current of galvanism, and the Neoklet In oonaequence contains ail the virtues of a mlniatvre battery, and ia therefore not a uaeleßß artiole like so many of the ao-oalled eleotrlo appliances, which cannot possibly produoe any good results, as they are incomplete m the moat essential requirements, and cannot generate galvanism nor produce galvanic effects. This Necklet Is the outcome or a long-continued series of Investigating experiments by that well-known and eminent scientist and specialist, Dr A agnate Kurßteiner, who is the highest European authority on all diseases of women and children The Lancet, the leading medical journal of the world, Bays : — " The fact that the discovery and invention of these Neoklets is announced by Dr Kurotelner la a sufficient guarantee that a means has at last been discovered which will Bave the lives of millions of children, anc". relieve the anxiety of many mothers. ' Although new to New Zealand, these Necklets have been used for the last five years with the rooat Wonderful Success m England, on the Continent, and In the United States, and are now constantly prescribed by the most eminont phyaiolans m their daily practice. It is noedlesß to comment on the anxious- and sleepless nights parsed 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 dentitiou, by its nerve-gfvng force it wards off and prevents Measles, Whooping Cough, Scarlet Fever, Croup, and Chicken Pox, thus relieving childhood of its martyrdom, and gladdening t?<e heart of every mother who invokes Its aid, Dr Kurßteiner has appointed Mobbis CONEOD &. CO., Auckland, bis sole agents In New Zealand fo> the aale of theee Necklets, from whom only they can be obtained. The, price has been placed at the very lowest possible point, point, barely covering the cost of importation, and 1b within the reach of all, as one Neoklet will last a life time. Aside from Its many virtues as a remedial »nd preventive agent, the Necklet 1 a handsome ornament, and will be sent free on receipt of One Pound, by poota note, money order, or registered letter. No cheques received. Addresß-J. CONROD&OO., __ PO- Box 408, Auckland, N.Z.

EACINE FAN FARM MILL. THE TESTED FARM MILL. The Cheapest and Best Fan.Mill iirthe Market* No Farmer valuing Clean Eeed can 'afford to go without a RACINE FAN MILL. Practical Farmera have pronounced It tho Beßt— read TESTIMONIAL below. While it has capacity to Clean rom 60 to 90 bushels per hour. No. 1 FARM MILL la 2ft Bin over all, and ia f nrnished with one Wheat Hurdle, one Wheat Screen and Grader with Bide spout, one Barley Sieve, and one Oat Sieve. Sieves for othor purposes furnished and charged for as extras. F. FERBIMAN, FFERRIMAN would call your atten- • tion to this Improved Farm Fanning Mill, which combines all tho advantages of the various Mills now m use, and also the following important and greatly needed Improve- ments: — First.— ln the width of the Mill, it being wider than most Farm Millß of similar siza, thereby increasing the cleaning capacity to a largo extent. Second. — The improved plan of hanging the shoe upon strong strap-hinged hangers, thus preventing constant breakage. Thiiid.— ln the matter of fastening the drum or head to tho poßts by meanß of a caßt» iron half circle, and secured to the posts by screws (instead of wooden clents morticed into posts acd held  wooden keys), adding increased strongth and dv ability to tho Mill. FOURTH. — Tho great au 'antago of cosily raising or lowering tho Blide ; *Ihe Hopper by means of a screw. The irons are of tho most approved pattern, the wheel, pinion, and shako irons being extra strong. Tho gearing is all placed on tho inside of the Mill, out of tho way. The bearing is formed by the hub of tho large wheel running m a thimblo or box, three inches loner, 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 this Mill to bo equal to, and m fact superior, m all respects, to nny now m use. The fan with wind boardß are bo arranged that the wind strikes tho hurdle m such a manner as to blow all foul stuff and light crrain over the hurdle. The side apont delivera the No 1 grain at the side, and tho No 2 grain at the front of the Mill. Tho grader can be bo adjusted as to separate and deliver through the Bide spout a greater or less portion of the best grain- The wheat screens and grader are so arranged as to effectually take out cockle from No 1 and No 2 wheat. No Farmer or Dealer should be v. ithout one aa they are invaluable to all who wish to market their eecd m good condition, and thus Bavo the heavy deductions usually made for impurities and foul stuff, and also the extra freight charges and ccsd of cleaning. They also save time, and by the thorough and complete work which con be accomplished with them, soon repay tho cost incurred m their pnrchaso, To Fnrmeis raising large quantities of Grain, or Eecds, wo would recommend the No 2 Warehouse Mill, as specially adapted for their tiße, as the great raving of time wIH compensate for the difference m tho first coßt. They can bo *un by hand as easily as a Farm Size, although constructed much heavier, and made' more durable; Be g aided by the experience of others and order a "Racine Mill." You dou'fc want a better record than it has. Read. M&.DE A SPLENDID JOB. I put some bagß of wheat through last Bpring , they made a splendid job. A neigh- bour borrowed mine to run through some oaty wheat : ho was highly pleaaf d with tho job they made. — William Blakie, Hillfcot, Waiwera. NEVER SAW ITS EQUAL: I have only used the " Bacino " Mill, as yet, for dressing oatß, wheat, and grass seed . It has given mo great satisfaction. I have never seen its equal for grading wheat for seed, and I have seen and helped to 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 satiafac- tictn. I consider it a fhst-rate article It cleans and grades grain rapidly and well, is Btrong, works smoothly, and will, I think, prove durable. It is much superior to nny other machine of the kind I have ever seen.— F." W Mackenzie (the Captain), Pomahuka. BEST MACHINE OF THE KIND I HAVE EVER SEEN. I have tried it with wheat, oats, and turnip Beed. I can confidently say that it is all that it claims to be. In fact, it ia a long way tho best machine of the kind I have over seen. With a larger assortment of riddles, I believe it will dress m a superior manner any kind of Beedfa.— William Littlejohn, Waiwera. WOULD NOT LIKE TO WANT ONE NOW— NO ONE SHOULD. I can confidently recommend tho "Racino" Fanners to do their work well, ana with extreme facility. I would not by any means liko to want one now, and I think no farme. Bbould.— David Mackenzie, Waiwora.
