! AN INEXPRESSIBLE BOON TO MOTHERS. Dr Auguste Kureteiner's ELECTRO GALVANIC TEETHING NECKLET Endorsed by the Medical Faonlty of Europe, And pronounced by al Leading Physicians The Greatest Discovery of the Age IN plaoing the Electric Neokkt before the New Zealand pnbllo the discoverer and proprietor begs to draw Ppaoial attention to the fact that the material surround- ( Ing the inner chain o! Metallic substances 1b lmpregnatpd with a chemical Bolutton, : harmless Id itbelf, «ni yet containing titanic p overs, which generate a continuous i light current of galvanism, and the Necklet m consequence oontalns ail the virtues of i a miniature battery, and is therefore not a useless article like so many of the so-called ] oleotrio appliances, which cannot possibly produce any good results, as they are * incomplete m the moßt essential requirements, and cannot generate galvanism nor | produce gaivanlo effeota. This Necklet is the outcome of a long-continued series of Investigating experiments by that well-known and eminent scientist and specialist, Dr Augaßte Kurstelner, who is the highest European authority on all diseases of women and children The Lanoet, the leading medical journal of the world, sayß :— " The fact that the discovery and invention of these Necklets Is announced by Dr Knrstelner Is A sufficient guarantee that a means has at last been discovered which will save the lives of millions of children, and relieve the anxiety of many mothers, ' Althoußh new to New Zealand, fcheae Necklets have been used for the last five years with the roont Wonderful Success m England, on the Continent, and iv the United States, and are oow constantly prescribed by the most eminent physicians m their daily practice. It 1b needleoß to comment on the anxious and sleepless night* pawed by thousands of mothers during the painfnl period of the teething cf infants. Every day brings to an untimely grave hundreds of infants whoae livea might have been saved by the uao of the simple Necklet. In addition to the relict from pain afforded by the Necklet daring the period of dentition, by its nerve glvl-g force it wards off and prevents Measlen, 'Whooping Cough, Scarlet Fever, Oroop, and Chicken Fox, thus relieving childhood of ito martyrdom, and gladdening the heart of every mother who invokes lta aid, Dr Kareteiner has appointed Messrs OONROD & CO., Auckland, his sole agenta m New Zealand for the Bale of theße Necklets, from ,vhora only they can be obtained. The price has been placed at the very lowest possible point, point, barely covering the coat of importation, and is within the roach of all, as one Necklet will laßt a life time, ABide from its many virtues as a remedial and preventive agent, the Necklet 1 a handsome ornament, and will be sent free on leoeipt of One Pound, by poata note, money order, or registered letter, jtfo chequeß received.

FFBREIMAJJ wonld call yonr atUntion 0 to this Improved Farm Fanning Mill which confines ail tho adva^tagfa of the vftrioua Milln now m übc, and also the follow- ing important and greatly needed Improve- ments :— ; First.— ln the width of the Mill, it being widhr than rooßt Farm Mills of similar uizß, thereDy increasing the cleaning capacity to a large extent. bKOOND —The improved plan of banging th shoo udoe itrong strap- hinged hangers, thn preventing constant breakage. Third.— ld themmtt«r<- f fastening the dram h& head to the po&ta b} means of a caatiron lorf circle, »nd s^enrod to the posfca by sorewe (instead of wooden cleate morticed into poeta and hold by wooden keys), adding increased strength and durability to tho 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 ehake irons being strong. The gearing ia all placed on the ia* 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 1 and separating all kinds of grain, we guarantee thie Mill to be equal to, and m fact superior, m all respecta, to any now m use. The fan with wind boards are so ar- ranged that the wind strikes the bnrdlo m such a manner as to blow all fcul stuff and light grain over the hurdle. The side Bpout delivers , the No 1 i rain at the Bide, and the No 2 grain at the front of the Mill. The grader can be so adjusted as to separate and deliver through the sids spout a greater or less portion of the best grain. The wheat screens and grader are so arranged as to effectually take out cackle from No 1 and No 2 wheat. No Farmer or Deale* should bn without one bb they are inraluable to all who wish to market their seed m good condition, and thus savfl the heavy deductions usually made tor impurities and foul stuff, and also the extra freight charges and cost of cleaning. They also save time, and by tho thorough and com- plete work which can be accomplished with them, poon repay the coßt incurred m their purchase. To Farmers raising large quantities of Grain, or See s, we would recommend tho No 2 Ware- house Mill, as specially adapted for their use, as the great savmg of time will compensate for the difference m the first cobU They can be run by hand as easily a* a Farm Size, altho jgh constructed much heavier, and made more dtrable.
