Dr Auguste Kureteiner's ELECTftO GALVANIC TEETHING NECKLET} Endorsed by the Medical Faoalty of Earopo, And pronounced by al Leacilng Thyslcians The Greatest Discovery of the Age IN placing the Electrlo Necklet before the New Zealand pnbllc the discoverer and proprietor begs to draw Special attention to the fact that the material surround- tng the inner ohaln o? metalllo substances 1b Impregnated with a obemical solution, harmless m Itself, and yet containing titanlo [overs, which generate a continuous light current of galvanism, and the Neoklet In consequence contains all the virtues of a miniature battery, and la therefore not a useless article like so many of the so-called eleotrlo appliances, which cannot possibly produce any good results, as they are Incomplete In the most essential requirements, and cannot generate galvanism nor produce galvanic effeots. This Neoklet Is the outcome of a long-continued series of Investigating experiments by that well-known and eminent scientist and specialist. Dr Anguete Kurstelner, 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 dlsoovery and Invention of these Necklets Is announced by Dr Kuratelner 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 Suocesa In England, on the Continent, and In the United States, md aro now constantly prescribed by the most eminent physicians In their dally praotice. It is needless to comment on the anxious and sleepless nights paused by thousands of mothers during the painful period of the teething of infants Every day brings to an untimely grave hundreds of Infants whose Hvob might have been saved by the use of the simple Neoklet. In addition to the relief from pain afforded by the Necklet during the period of dentition, by Us nerve giving force it wards off and prevents Measles, Whooplna 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., Auckland, bis sole agents In New Zealand for the sale of these Necklets, from <rhom only they can be obtained. The price has been placed at the very lowest possible point point, barely covering the cost of Importation, and fs within the reach of all as one Neoklet will laflfc a life time. Aside from its many virtues as a remedial md praventlve agent, the Necklet a handoomo ornament, and will be cent free on reoelpt of One Pound by cetao note, money order, or registered letter. No oheques received. j Addrtii^ J. CJONROD A 00. , 4 P.O. Bvx 408, *ue*lan,d, tf,2,
