Metallic subatancea ia impregnated with a chemical solution, harmleßß m itself, an A yet containing titanic powers, which generate a continuous light enrrent of galvanism, and the Neoklet m consequence contains ail the virtues of a miniature battery, and Is therefore not a useless article like ho many of the co-called electrlo 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 Neoklet la the oatoome of a long-continued series of Investigating experiments by that well-known and eminent ocientist and specialist, Dr Aygußte Kurstelnor, who is ihe highest Europesn 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 theae Necklets la announced by Dr Kurstelner la a sufficient guarantee that a means has at laßt been discovered which will save the lives of milUonß of children, and relievo the anxiety of many mothers. ' Although new to Now Zealand, these Necklets have been used for the last five years with tho moot Wonderful Success m England, on the Continent, and m the United States, and are now constantly prescribed by the moat eminent physicians m their daily practice. It iB needleEß to comment on the anxious and sleepless nights passed by thousands of mothers during the painful period of the teething of infanti. Every day brings to an untimely grave hundreds of infants whose Hveß might have been saved by the übo of the Bimple Necklet. In addition to the relief from pain afforded by the Necklet during the period of dentitiou, by Its nerve glvhg fores it wards off and prevents Meaales.Whooplng Cough, Scarlet Fevor, Croup, and Chicken Pox, thug relieving childhood of its martyrdom, and gladdening the heart of every mother who Invokes its aid, Dr Kursteiner has appointed Meßurs CONROD & CO., Auckland, blu vole agents m New Zealand for the aale of theuo Necklets, from *horn only they can be obtained. The price has been placed at the very lowest possible point, point, barely covering the cost of Importation, and ia within the reach of all, ai one Necklet will last a life time. Aside from its many virtnes as a remedial »nd preventive agent, the Necklet 1 a handsome ornament, and will be sent free on receipt of One Pound, by post* note, money order, or registered letter.

FFERRIMA.it would call your attention • to this Improved Farm Fanning Mill whicli combines all the advantages of the yanouß Mills now m übc, and also the follow- ing impoitaut and greatly needed Improve- ments : — First.— ln the width of the Mill, it being wider than moat Farm Mills of similar size, thereby increasing the cleaning capacity to a large extent. I Second. — The improved plan of hanging th I fhoe upon strong strap- hinged hangers, thn preventing constant break ace. Third.— ln the raatterct fastening the drum ha head to the poets by means of a caetiron lorf circle, »nd secured to the poets by screws (instead of wooden cleats morticed into paste and held by wooden kejß), adding increased strength and durability to the Mill. Fourth.— The great advantage of raising or lowering the slide m the Hoppor means of a screw. The irons we of the most approved the wheel, pinion, and ehake irons being strong. The gearing is all placed on the in* side of the mill, ont of tho way. The bearing is formed by the hnb of the large wheel run- ning m » thimble or box, three inches long, of Chilled Iron and extending through the pout*, giving it a steady and easy motion. For cleaning and separating all kinds of grain, we guarantee tbie Mill to be equal to, And m fact superior, m all respect*, to any now m use. The fan with wind boards are so ar- i ranged that the wind strikes the hurdle m such a manner as to blow all fcul stuff and light grain over the hurdle. The side spout delivers the No 1 train at the side, and the No 2 grain at tho front of the Mill. The grader can be bo adjusted as to separate and deliver through the side spout a greater or less portion of the best grain; The wheat Bcreens and grader are bo arranged as to effectually take out cickle from No 1 and No 2 wheat. No Farmer or Dealer should ba without one 8B they are m ralnable to all who wish to market their seed m good condition, and thus save the heavy deductions ÜBually made for impurities 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, Eoon repay the cost iucurred m their purchase. To Fanners raising large quantities of Brain, or Eee-'p, we would recommend the No 2 Ware- house Mill, as specially adapted for their usa, as the great saving of time will compensate for the difference m the first cost. They can be run by hand as easily aa a Farm Size, although constructed much heaviar, and made more durable. Be guided by experience of others and order a "Racine Mill." You don't want a better record than it has. Read. MADE A SPLENDID JOB. I put some bags of wheat through last spring, they made a splendid job. A neighbor borrowed mino to run through some oaty wheat ; he was highly pleased with the job they made. — William Blap c, Hillfort Waiwera. NEVER SAW ITS EQJAL. I have only used the " Racine " Mill, as yet, for dressing oatß, wheat, and grass seed. It has given me gTe&t satisfaction. I have never seen its equal for grading wheat for eeed, and I have seen and helped te work a good many. — Wuuam Brook, Church Hill. Waiwera, COMPLIMENTARY. I am very much pleased with it, — JOHN Cameron, Swift Creek, Keleo. COULD NOT BAVE A BETTER CHARACTER. " I have given the ''Racine" Warehouse Fan Mill a good trial, and it gives every Ba'istac- t on. I consider it * firßt-rato article. "It elf ana and gradeß grain rapidly and well, is strong, works smoothly , and will, J. think, prove durable. It is much Superior to any other machine of the kind I have ever seen. — F. W. Mackenzie (the Captain), Poroahaka. BEST MACHINE OF THE KIND I HAVE ' EVER SEEN. I have tried it with wheat, oats, and turnip seed. I can confidently say that it is all that it claims to be. In fact, it is a long way the J best machine of the kind I have ever seen. With a larger assortment of riddles, I believe it will dreßS m a superior manner any kind seeds.— William Littlejohh, Waiwera WOULD ISOT LIKE TO WANT ONE HOW— NO ONE SHOULD. I can confidently recommend the " Racine Fanners te do their work well, and with extreme facility. I would not by any meana like to want one now, and I think no farmer should.— David Mackenzie, Waiwera.
