; \ 1 AN INEXPRESSIBLE BOON TO MOTHERS. Dr Auguste Kursteiner's ELECTRO GALYAHIC TEETHING NECKLET Endorsed by the Medical Faculty of Europe, And pronounced by al Leading Physicians The Greatest Discovery of the Age IN placing the Electric Necklet before the New Zealand pnbllo the discoverer and proprietor begs to draw Special attention to the fact that the material snrround- Ing the inner chain o? metallic substances Ib impregnated with a chemical solution, harmless In itaelf, anJl yet containing titanic powers, which generate a continuous light onrrent of galvanism, and the Necklet In consequence contains all the virtues of a miniature battery, and Is therefore not a useless article like so many of the so-oalled electric appliances, which cannot possibly produoe any good results, as they are incomplete m the moat essential requirements, and cannot generate galvanism nor produce gaivanlo effeots. * This Neoklet is the outcome of a long-contlnued series of investigating experiments by that well-known and eminent scientist and specialist, Dr Auguste Kursteiner, who is the highest Europesn authority on all diseases of women and children , The Lanckt, the leading medical journal of the world, says : — " The fact that the discovery and invention of these Necklets la announced by. Dr Kursteiner 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. ' Although new to New Zealand, these Necklets have been used for the last five years with the most Wonderful Success m England, on the Continent, and m the United States, and are now constantly prescribed by the most eminent physicians m their daily practice. It is needlees to comment on the anxious and sleepless nights passed by thousands of mothers duting 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 uae of the simple Neoklet. In addition to the relict from, nain^afforded by the Necklet during the period ut «uim«u, v,, i.w verve giving force it wards,off ana pteeanta MeaaleSiWhooplng Cough, Scarlet Fever, Croup, and Chicken Pox, thus relieving omlahoqcr of Ttr martyrdom, and gladdening the heart of -every mother who Invokes its aid, Dr Kursteiner has appointed Messrs CONROD & CO., Auckland, bis sole agents m New Zealand for the sale of theee Necklets, from vrhom only they can be obtained. The price has been placed at the very lowest possible point, point, barely covering the cost of importation, and la within the reach of all, a9 one Necklet will last a life time. Aside from Its many virtues as a remedial and preventive agent, the Necklet i a handsome ornament, and will be sent free on receipt of One Pound, by poita note, money order, or registered letter. No cheques received. Address- J. 0ONROD&0O., P.O. Box 408, Auckland, N,Z. W.

Sieves for" other purposes urni and charged for as cxtrae. F. FERRIMAN. FFEBRIMAW would call your attention • to this Improved Farm Fanning Mill which combines all the advantages of the various Mills now m use, and also the follow- ing important and greatly needed Improve- ments :— First.— ln the width of the Mill, it being wider than moat Farm Mills of similar aiz9, thereby increasing the cleaning capacity to a large extent. Second. — The improved plan of hanging th shoe upon strong strap- hinged hangers, thu preventing constant breakage. Third.— ld the matterr { fastening the drum ha head to the posts kj meanß of a castiron lorf circle, and secured to the posts by screws (instead of wooden cleats morticed into posts and held by wooden keys), adding 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 most approved the wheel, pinion, and shake irons being strong. Tho gearing is all placed on the in* 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 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 UEe. The fan with -wind boards are so ar- ranged that the wind strikes the hurdle m such a manner as to blow all fcul stuff and light grain over the hurdle. The Bide Bpout delivers the No 1 train 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 side spout a greater or less portion of the best grain; The wheat screens and grader are bo arranged as to effectually take out ccckle from No 1 and No 2 whaati No Farmer or Dealer should be withont one tie they are inraluable to all who wish to market their seed m good condition, and thus save the heavy deductions usually made for impurities and foul stuff, and also the extra freight charges and cost of cleaning. They also save tune, and by the thorough and com- plete work which can be accomplished with them, coon repay the cost incurred m their purchase. To Farmers raising large quantities of drain, or Eee^s, we would recommend tho No 2 Ware- house Mill, as specially adapted for their use, as the great saving of time will compensate for the difference m the first cost. They can be ran by hand as easily as a Farm Size, although constructed much heavier, and made more dtp-able. Be guided by experience of others and order a "Ratine Mill." You don't want a better record than it has. Bead. MADE A SPLENDID JOB. I put some bags of wheat through last spring, they mado a splendid job. A neighbor borrowed mine to run through some oaty wheat j he was highly pleased with the job they made. — William Blaf b, Hillfort Waiwera. NEVER SAW ITS EQJAL. I have only used the " Racine " Mill, as yet, for dressing oats, wheat, and grass seed. It has given me great satisfaction. I have never seen its equal for grading wheatfor seed, and I have seen and helped lo work a good many. — William Brook, Church Hill. Waiwera. COMPLIMENTARY. I am very much pleased with it,— John Cameron, Swift Creek, Kelso. COULD NOT BAVE A BETTER CHARACTER. I have given the '' Racine " Warehouse Fan Mill a gooi trial, and it gives every sa'isiac- t'OD. I consider it " first-rate article. It elans and grades grain rapidly and well, is strong, works smoothly, and will, I think, prove durable. It is much buperior to any other machine of the kind I have ever seen.— F. W. Mackenzie (the Captain), Porcahaka, BEST MACHINE OF THE KIMO I HAVE JLVER SEEN. I have tried it with wheat, oats, and turnip eeed I can confidently Bay that it is all that it claims 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 Littlbjohw, Waiwera WOULD INOT LIKE TO WANT ONE NOW— NO ONE SHOULD. I can confidently recommend the " Racine Fanners te do their work well, and witK extreme facility. I would not by any means like to want one now, and I think no farmer should.— David Mackenzie, Waiwera.
