AN INEXPRESSIBLE BOON TO MOTHERS; Dr Auguste Kurpteiner's 1 ELECTRO GALVANIC TEETHING NECKLET Endorsed by the Medical Faoulty of Europe, 1 And pronounced by al Leading Physicians T?he Greatest Discovery of the Age IN placing the Electrio Necklet before the New Zealand public the discoverer and proprietor begs to draw Special attention to the fact that the material surround- ing the inner chain of metallic) substances is impregnated with a chemical solution, harmless m itself, and yet containing titanio powers, which generate a continuous light current of galvanism, and the Neoklet m consequence contains ail the virtues of a miniature battery, and is therefore not a useless artiolo like bo many of the eo-oalled electrio appliances, which cannot possibly produce any good results, as they are Incomplete m the moßt essential requirements, and cannot generate galvanism nor produce gaivanlo effeots. This Neoklet Is the outcome of a long-continued series of Investigating experiments by that well-known and eminent soientist and specialist, Dr A.agußte Kursteiner, who is the highest Europesn authority on all diseases of women and children The Lancet, the leading medical journal of the world, says : — " The fact that the discovery and Invention of these Neoklets is 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 oonstantly prescribed by the most eminent physicians In their daily practice. It is needless to comment on the anxious and sleepless nights passed 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 givhg force it wards off and psevents Measles, Whooping Oough, Scarlet Fever, Croup, and Chicken Pox, thus relieving childhood of its martyrdom, and gladdening the heart of every mother who Invokes its aid, Dr Kursteiner has appointed Messrs CONROD & CO., Auokland, his sole agents m New Zealand for the sale of thecie 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 Is within the reach of ail, ac one Necklet will last a life time. Aside from its many virtu ea as a remedial and preventive agent, the Necklet 1 a handsome ornament, and will be sent free on receipt of One Ponod, by post* note, money order, or registered letter. No cheques received. Addreaß— J. 0ONROD&0O., P.O. Box 408, Auokland, N.Z. W. PATCHING, TENT, TARPAULIN, FLAG, AND HORSECLOTH MANUFACTURER.

No x Farmer valuing Clean deed can ii> k co without a RACINE FAN MILL. Practical Farmers have pronounced it th» Best— read TESTIMONIALS below. While it has capacity to Clean from 60 to 90 bushels per hoar. No. 1 FARM MILL Is 2ft Bin ever all, and is frirnißbed with Wheat Hnrdle, one Wheat Screen anG with side epont, one Barley Sieve, anone Sieve. SieTCB for other purposes nrni and charged foe as extras. if. FEBBIMAET; FFERBIMAN would call yonr attention a to this Improved Farm Fanning Mill whicb combinea all the advantages of the vanous Milla now m use, and also the follow- ing important and greatly needed Improve- ments : — First. — In the width of the Mill, it being wider than moßt Farm Mills of similar size, thereby increasing the cleaning capacity to a large extent. Second.— The improved plan of hanging tb shoe upon strong strap-hinged hangers, thn preventing constant breakage.. Third. — In the matter**-! fastening the drum ha head to the posts bs means of a caetiron Jlorf circle, and secured to the posts by screws (instead of wooden cleats morticed into posts and held by wooden keys), adding increased strength ana durability to the Mill. Foubth. — The great advantage of raising or lowering the slide m the Hopper means of a screw. The irons aie of the most approved the wheel, pinion, and shake irons being strong. The gearing is all placed on the in*, side of the mill, ont of the way. The bearing is formed by the hub of the large wheel run- ning m a thimble or box, three incheß long, of Chilled Iron and extending through the posts, giving it a steady and easy motion. 1 For cleaning and separating all kinds of grain, we guarantee thie Mill ' to be eqoal to, and m fact superior, m all respects, to any now m nee. The fan with wind boards are so ar- < ranged that the wind strikes the hurdle m such a manner as to blow all feul stuff and light grain over the hnrdle. The side spout delivers the No 1 grain at the side, 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 so arranged as to effectually take oat cockle from No 1 and No 2 wheat. No Farmer or Dealer should bo without one as they are inraluable to all who wish to market their seed m good condition, and thus save the heavy deductions usually made tor impurities and fonl stnft, 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 Grain, or See b, we would recommend the 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 run by hand as easily aa a Farm Size, although constructed much heavier, and made more durable. Be guided by experience' of others and order a "Bacine Mill." Yon don't want a better record than it has. Bead. MADE A SPLENDID JOB. I put some bags of wheat through lost spring, they made a splendid job. A neighbor borrowed mine to run through some oatj wheat; he was highly pleased with the job they made. -—William Blake, Hillfort Waiwera. NEVER SAW ITS EQUAL. I have only used the " Racine " Mill, as yet, for dressing oats, wheat, and grass seed. It has given me great satisfaction, I have neyer seen its equal for grading wheat for seed, and I have Been and helped \o work a good many. —William Brook, Church Hill. Waiwera. COMPLIMENTARY. I am very much pleased with it,— John Cameron, Swift Creek, Kelso. COULD NOT BAVifl A BETTER CHARACTER. T I have given the '' Bacine " Warehouse Fan Mill a gooi tnal, and it gives every BaMsf ac- t : on. I consider it • first-rate article. It cleans and gradeß grain rapidly and well, is strong, works Btnoothly.and will, I think, prove durable. It is much Superior to any other machine of the kind I have ever Been,— 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 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 Littlejohn, Waiwera WOULD IsOT LIKE TO WANT ONE NOW— NO ONE SHOULD. I can confidently recommend the " Racine Fanners to do their work well, and witlv. extreme facility. I would not by any means like to want one now, and I think no farmer eiould.— David Mackenzie, Waiwers.
