AfTTCNT ASHBUKTO^ AN INEXPRESSIBLE BOON TO MOTHERS. Dr Auguste Kureteiner's ELECTRO GALVANIC TEETHING NECKLET, Endorsed by the Medical Faculty of Europe, ... And pronounced by all Leading Physicians The Greatest Discovery of the Age IN placing the Electric 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 ohaln of metallic substances is impregnated with a chemical solution, harmless In itfcelf, and yet containing tiranlo powers, which generate a continuous light current of galvanism, and the Necklet In consequence contains ail the virtues of a miniature ba'tory , and la therefore not a useless article like bo many of the so-called tleotric appliances, which "cannot pos&jbly produce any good reßalts, as they are incomplete m the moßt essential requirements, and cannot generate galvanism nor produce gaivanlo effeots. This Neoklet la tho outcome of a long-continued series of Investigating 'experiments by that well-known nnd eminent scientist and speolalistj Dr Auguste Kurstetner, who is the highest European authority on all diseases of women and children The Lancet, the leading medical journal of the world, nays : — *• The fuct that the discovery and Invention of these Necklets is announced by Dr Kuratelner Is * sufficient guarantee that a moans 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 most Wonderful Success In England, on the Continent, and In the United States, and are now ooustantly preßorlbed by the most eminent physicians m their daily practice. It is needless to comment on the anxious and sleepless nights patted by thousands of mothers during the painful period of the teething of Infanta. Every day bringß to an untimely grave hundreds of infants whoße lives might have been Bayed by the use of the simple Neoklet, In nddition to the relief from pain afforded by the Necklet during the period of dentition, by Us nerve-giving force it wardß off and prevents Measles, Whooping Cough, Scarlet Fever, Croup, and Ohickea Pox, thus relieving ohildhood of its martyrdom, and gladdening the heart of every mother who invokes its aid, Dr Kursteiner has appointed Mftssrs CONROD A CO., Anokland, his sole agents m New Zealand for the sale of these Necklets, from vrtiom only they can be obtained. The price has been placed at th 6 very lowest possible point, point, barely covering the cost of importation, and is within the reaoh of all, a8 one Necklet will last a life time. 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 postn vote, money order, or registered letter.
