This Necklet !b tho outcome of a lorg-oontlnued Borieo of Investigating (xporimonta by that well known and eminent eolentiat and specialist, Dr Augueto Kursteinor, who is iho highest European authority on all diseases of women and children Tho Lanoft, tho leading medical journal of the world, Bayß :— " Tho fact that the discovery and invention of these hcckleto is announced by Dr Kuretetner Is a sufficient guarantee that n means ban at )&&t boeu discovered which will save the lives of millioDß of children, and relieve the anxiety of many mothers." Although now to Now Zealand, theao Necklets havo boon uaod for the last five years with the most Wonderful Success m Kngland, on the Continent, and m the United States, and are now constantly prcecrlbed by tho moet eminent phy ßicianß m their daily practice. It is needless to comment on the anxious and sleepless nlghtß parsed by thousands of mothers during tho ia r nful period of the teething cf infants. Every day brings to an untimely grave hundreds of h;f>uits uhoso lives might have been saved by tho use of tho simple Necklet. In fddition to tho roliet from pain afforded by tho Necklet dnrtug tbo period of dentition, by its nerve-g vi* g foice it wards off onrl prevents Mcnsleß, Whooptng Cough, Ponrlot Fever, Croup, nnd Chicken Pox, thus relieving childhood of its martjrdom, and gladdening t/.o heart of every mctlior who invokes its aid, Dr Kureteiner has appointed Moonro CONROD <^ CO., Auckland, his sole agonts m New Zealand for tho oale of theee Neckfots, from only they oan be obtained. The price has been placed at the very lo vest possible point, point, barely covering tbo cost of importation, and ia within tho reach of all, afl one Necklet will last a lifo time. .
