AN INEXPRESSIBLE BOON TO MOTHERS. Dr Auguste Kureteiner's ELECTRO GALVANIC 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 faot that the material surround- ing the inner chain of metallio substances m impregnated with a chemical Bolution, harmless m itself, and yet containing tlianio powers, which generate a continuous light onrrent of galvanism, and tho Necklet m consequence contains ail the virtues of a miniature battery, and is therefore not a useless article like so many of the so-called eleotrio appliances, which oannot possibly produce any good results, as they are incomplete m the most essential requirements, and cannot generate galvanism nor produce galvanic effects. This Necklet Is the outcome of a long-continued series of investigating j experiments by that well-known and eminent scientist and specialist, Dr A agnate Kurßteiner, who is the highest European authority on all dißeasea of women and children The Lancet, the leading medical journal of the world, says :— " The fact that the discovery and invention of these iNeckleta is announced by Dr Kurstelner is a (sufficient guarantee that a means has at last been discovered which will cave 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 In their daily practice. It is neodleßß to comment on the anxious and sleopless nights passed by thousands of mothers during the painful period of tho teething of infants. Every day brings to an untimely grave hundreds of infants whose livos might have been caved by the use of tho simple Necklet. In addition to the roliet from pain afforded by the Necklet during the period of dentitiou, by its nerve-giving force it wards off and prevents Meaßles, Whooping pough, Scarlet Fever, Croup, and Chicken Pox, thus relieving childhood of its martyrdom, and gladdening the heart of every mother who invokes its aid, Dr Kuratoiner has appointed Mesars CONROD <ft CO., Auckland, bis solo agents m New Zealand for the sale of theee 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 all, as one Necklet wiil laot a life time. Ab\<?q 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 poet* note, money order, or registered letter. No cheques received. Address- J. CONROD & CO., P.O. Box 408, Auokland, N.Z. "i '. . ( DIPPING SEASON, 1887.

No Farmer valuing Ulean ciced can aff to co without a RACINE FAN MILL. Practical Farmers hnve pronounced it tho Best— read TESTIMONIALS below. While it has capacity to Clean from 60 to 90 buaheJa per hour. No. 1 FARM MILL Ib 2ft Bin over all, nnd is furnished with one Wheat Hurdle, one Wheat Screen and Grader with side spent, one Barley Sieve, and one Oat Sieve. Sieves for other purposes furnished and charged for as extras. F. FKBRIMAN. FFERRIMAW would oall your att«ntion • to tbia Improved Farm Fanning Mill whicli combines all the advartagßs of • the vinous Mills now m use, and also tbe follow- ing impoitaut and greatly needed Improve- ments :— First.— ln the width of tho Mill, it being wider than most Farm Mills of similar m'z?, thereby increasing the cleaning capacity to a large extent. BHCOND —The improved plan of h&nging the choc upon itrong scrap-hinged hangers, thus preventing constant breakage. Third. — Id thetnatterc f fastening tbodrnm or head to the potts kj means of a castiron half circle, and spenred to tho poßts by uorews (instead of wooden cleats morticed into posts and held by wooden keys), adding increased strength and durability to the Mill. FOT7BTH. — The great advantage of raising or lowering the slide m the Hopper means of a Bcrew. The irons ue of the most approved - the wheel, pinion, and shake irons being strong. The gearing is all placed on the int side of the mill, out of the way. The bearing is formed by tbe hnb of the large wheel inn* ning m a thimble or box, three inches Icfig, | of Chilled Iron and extending through tne poets, giving it a steady and easy motion. For cleaning and separating all kinds of I grain, we guarantee thie Mill to bo oqaal to, and m fact superior, m all respects, to any now m use. The fan with wind boards are so ar- ranged that the wind strikes the hurdle m snch a manner as to blow alt fcul stuff and light grain over the hurdle. The side spout delivers the No 1 t Tain at the side, and the No 2 grain at tho front of the Mill. The grader can \>e bo adjusted as to separate and deliver through the side spout a greater or less portion of the befct grnin. Tb/9 wheat Bcreens and grader are so arranged se to effectually take out ccckle from No 1 and No 2 wheati No Farmer or Dealer should ba without one as they arc inraluablo to all who wish to market their (teed 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 time, and by the thorough and com- plete work which can be accomplished with them, soon repay tho cost incurred m their pnrcbase. To Farmers raising large quantities of Grain, or £eo"B, we would recommend tbe No 2 Ware- house Mill, as specially adapted for their nse, aa the great saving of time will compensate for tho difference m the first cost. They can be ran by hand as easily a* a Farm Size, although constructed much heavier, and made more durable. Be guided by experience of others and order a "Bacine Mul." Yon 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 mine to run through some oaty wbeat ; he was highly pleaded with the job they made. — William Blaf b, Hilllort Waiwera. , NEVER SAW ITB EQjAL. ' I have only used the " Racine " Mill, as yet, for dressing oat?, wheat, and grass seed. It bos given me great satisfaction, I havo never seen its equal for grading wheat for seed, and I have seen and helped to work a good many. — Wiiliabi Brook, Church Hill. Waiwera. COMPLIMENTARY. I am very much pleased with it, — John Cambuow, Swift Creek, Eelso. COULD NOT BAVE A BETTER CHARACTER. I have given the '' Bacine " Warehouse Fan Mill a good trial, and it giveß every Batistac- t on. I consider it « first-rate article, It clrans and gradeß grain rapidly and well, ii strong, works smoothly, and will, 1 think, prov* durable. It ie much fe'eperjor to any other machine of tbe kind I have ever seen — F. W. Mackenzie (the Captain). Ponoahaka. 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 best machine of the kind I havo over seen. With a larger assortment of riddles, I believe it will dress m a Buperior manner any kind Beedß.— WiiiMAM LittlejoHN, Waiwera WOULD JNOT LIKB TO WANT ONE HOW— NO ONE SHOULD. I can confidently recommend the " Racing Fannera 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 should —David Mackenzie!, Waiwera.
