AN INEXPRESSIBLE BOON TO MOTHERS. , Dr Auguste Kursteiner'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 Eleotrio Necklet before the New Zealand pnblio the discoverer and proprietor begs to draw Special attention to the factihat the material surround- ing the inner chain of metallic Bub3tances is impregnated with a cbemioal solution,, harmless m itself, and yet containing titanio cowers, which generate a continuous light current of galvanism, and the Necklet In consequence contains ail the virtue* of a miniature battery, and is therefore not a. useless article like so many of the so-oalled olectrio appliances, which cannot possibly produce any good- results, as they are Incomplete In the moßt essential requirements, and cannot generate galvanism nor produce galvanic effects. This Necklet la the outcome of a long-continued aeries of Investigating experiments by that well-known and eminent Boientißt and specialist, Dr Augusta Kursteiner, who is the higheßt European authority on all diseases of women and children The Lanokt, the leading medical journal of tho world, Bays':—" The fact that the discovery and invention of these Necklets is announced by Dr Kursteiner 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 Success m England, on tho Continent, and m the United States, and are now constantly prescribed by the moßt eminent physicians In their daily practice. It 1b needlees to .comment on the anxiqpa and sleepless nights paesed by thousands of mothers during tho painful period of th_e_te_ethin£_rf Infexnta. Every day brings to an untimely grave hundreds of infants whoße lives might have been saved by the use of the simple Necklet. In addition to the roliet from pain afforded by tho Necklet during the period of dentitioo, by its nerve-glvi'g force it wards off and prevents Meaßlea, Whooping Cough, Soarlet Fevor, Crcup. and Chioken Pox, thns relieving ohildhood of its martyrdom, and gladdening tha heart of every mother who invokes its aid, Dr Kursteiner has appointed Mesers CONROD & CO., Auokland, his sole agents m New Zealand for the sale of theee Necklets, from v?hom 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 reaoh of all, an one Necklet will laßt a life time. Aside 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 posta 'note, money order, or registered letter.
