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 Neokkt before the New Zealand pnbllo the discoverer and proprietor begs to draw Special attention to the fact that the material surround- ing the inner chain c? metallic substances is impregnated with a chemical solution, harmless m itself, an j yet containing tlianio rowers, whioh generate a continuous light current of galvanism, and the Necklet m consequence contains ail the virtues of a miniature batter; , and is therefore not a ÜBeleaa artiole like so many of the so-oalled eleotrlo appllancea, which cannot possibly produoe any good results, as they are Incomplete m the most essential requirements, and cannot generate galvanism nor produoe galvanic effects. ' This Necklet Is the outcome of a long-continued series of investigating experiments by that well-known and eminent scientist and specialist, Dr Aaguete Kuratelner, who is the highest European authority on all diseases of i women and children The Lancet,' the leading medical journal of the world, says : — " The fact that the dlacovery and invention of these Necklets is announced by Dr Kursteiner is, a sufficient guarantee that a means has at last been discovered whioh 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 moat Wonderful Suooesa m England, on the Continent, and m the United States, and are now constantly prescribed by the moßt eminent physicians m their daily practice. | It is needless to comment on the anxious and sleepless nights passed by r thousands of moth era duting the painful period of the teething of lnfanti. Every day brings to an untimely grave hundreds of infants whose lives might have been saved by the use of the simple Necklet. Tn addition to the relief from pain afforded by the Necklet during the period of dentitiou, by its nerve givi*~g force il wardß off and prevents Measles, Whooping Cough, Scarlet Fever, Croup, and Chicken Pox, thus relieving ohildhood of its martyrdom, and gladdening the heart of every mother who Invokes its aid, " ' i Dr Kursteiner has appointed Messrs CONROD & CO., Auckland, bis sole I 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 Is within the reach of all, as one Necklet will last a life time. * i i Aside from its many virtues as a remedial and preventive agent, the Necklet 1 a handsome ornament, and will be sent free on receipt of One Pound, by poatst vote, money order, or registered letter.

F FERBIMAN would cdl your attention » to this Improved Farm Fanning Mill whiclj combines all the advantages of the various Milln 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 most Farm Mills of similar size, thereby increasing the cleaning capacity to a large extent. bKOOND.— The improved plan of hanging th shoe udoc etrong strap-hinged hangers, thu preventing constant breakage. Third.— ld themaitarr t fastening the drum ha head to the po&ts kj means of a castiron lorf circle, »nd spcured to the posts by aorewa (instead of wooden cleats morticed into posts ; and held by wooden keys), adding increased I 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 ste of the most approved the wheel, pinion, and shake irons being strong. The gearing is all placed on the iv« Bide of tho 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 respect*, to any now . m use. 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 side spout delivers the No 1 train 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 lesß portion of tho best gram; Ths wheat screens and grader are so arranged db to effectually take out cockle from No 1 and No 2 whsati No Farmer or Dealer should be without one sb 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 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, soon repay the cost incurred m their purchase. To Farmers raising large quantities of Grain, or Eeerfs, we wonld recommend tho No 2 Ware* house Mill, as specially adapted for their us 3, 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 durable. , Be guided by experience of others and order a "Bacine Mul." You djn'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 wheat; he was highly pleased with the job they made. — William Blaz e, 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 wheat for seed, and I have Been and helped \e work a good many. — Whliam Brook, Church Hill. Waiwera, COMPLIMENTARY. I am very much pleased with it, — JOHIt Cameron, Swift Creek, Kelso. COULD NOT BAVE A BETTER CHARACTER. I have given the *' Kacine " Warehouse Fan Mill a good trial, and it gives every sa'istac- t on. I oonsider it ° first-rate article. It clfans and grades grain rapidly and well, is stron g, works Bmoothly , and will, 1 think, prov« durable. Ie is much fccperior to any othex machine of the kind I have ever seen.— F. W. Mackenzie (the Captain), Poomhaka, BEST MACHINE OF THE KIND I HAVE EVER SEEN. I have tried it with wheat, oatSj, and turnip eeed 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 have ever seen. With a larger assortment of riddles, I believe it will dreßS m a superior manner any kind seeds. — William Littlejohn, Waiwera WOULD ]SOT LIKE TO WANT ONE NOW— NO ONE BHOULD. I can confidently recommend the " Racine Fanners te do their work well, and, with extreme facility. I would not by any means like to want one now, and I think no farmer should. — David Mackenzie, Waiwera.
