Dr Augnste Kurpteiner's ELEGTRO GALVANIC TEETHING NECKLET) Endorsed by the Medical Faculty of Enrope, And prononnoed by al Leading Phyalciana The Greatest Discovery of the Age IN placing the Eleotrlo Necklet before the New Zealand pnbllo the discoverer and proprietor bees to draw Special attention to the fact that the material snrroand- lng the Inner chain of metallic eabstancea la Impregnated with a cbemioal solution, harmless In itaelf, and yet containing tltanlo powers, which generate a continnou* light current of galvanism, and the Neoklet In consequence contains all the vlrtuea of » miniature battery, and is therefore not a useless article like bo many of the eo-oalled eleotrlo appliances, which cannot possibly produce any good results, as they are Incomplete In the most essential requirements, and cannot generate galvanism nor yroduoe gaivanlo effeots. This Neoklet la the outcome of a long-continued series of Investigating experiments by that well-known and eminent scientist and specialist, I)i Auguste Kursteiner, who Is the highest European authority on all diseases: of women and children The Lancet, the leading medical journal of the world, Bays :— ♦♦ The fiot that the dlaoovery and invention of these Necklets Is announced by Dr Kursteiner is • suffioient 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 laßt five years with the most Wonderful Success In England, on the Continent, and m the United States, and are now constantly prescribed by the most eminent phyalclaqs m their daily praotice. It 1b needless to comment on the anxious and sleepless nights pawed by thousands of mothers dutlng the painful period of the teething of infanta. Every day brings to an untimely grave hundreds of Infanta whose lives might have been saved by the use of the simple Necklet. In addition to the relief from pain afforded by the Neoklet during the period of dentitlou, by its nerve giving force It wards off and prevents Meaales.Whooplng Oough, Scarlet Fever, Croup, and Chicken Pox, thus relieving ohtldhood of ite martyrdom, and gladdening the heart of every mother who Invokes Its aid, Dr Kuratelner has appointed Messrs CONROD & CO., Auckland, bis sole agents In New Zealand for the sale of these Neoklets, from ffhom onlj they can be obtained, The price has been placed at the very lowest possible point, point, barely covering the coat of Importation, »nd Is within the reach of all, an ont Neoklet will last t life time. Afilde from its many vlrtuea aa a remedial md preventive agent, the Necklet! ft handsome ornament, and will be sent free on reoeipt of One Pound, by patt< note, money order, or registered letter.
