AN INEXPRESSIBLE BOON TO MOTHERS. Dr Auguste Kureteiner's 'ELECTRO GALVANIC TEETHING NECKLET^ Endowed by the Medical Faculty of Europe, And pronounced by al Lea/Hug Physicians The Greatest Discovery of the Age IN placing the Eleotrlo Necklet before the New Zealand pnbllo the discoverer and proprietor begs to draw Special attention to the fact that the material Burronnd- ing the inner chain o? uetallio eubstanceß is Impregnated with a chemical solution, harmless In it&elf, an.! yet containing titanic (overs, which generate a continuous light enrrent of galvanism, and the Necklet m consequence contains ail the virtues of a miniature battery , and ia therefore not a useless artiole like bo many of the bu-called electric appliances, which cannot possibly produce any good results, as they are incomplete m the most essential requirements, and cannot generate galvanism nor produce galvanic effects. This Necklet is the outcome of a long-continued series of Investigating experiments by that well-known and eminent Eolentist and specialist, Dr Aagußte Kursteiner, who Is the highest Europesn authority on all diseases of women »nd children The Lancet, the leading medical journal of the world, Bays ':— " The foot that the discovery and Invention of these fteckleta is announced by Dr Kuroteiner 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, theßo Necklets have been used for the last five years with the most Wonderful Success m England, on the Oontinent, and m the United States, and are now constantly prescribed by the moßt eminent physicians In their daily praotice. It is needlecß to comment on the anxious and sleepless nights papaed by thousands of mothers during the painful period of the teething of Infanta. Every day brings to an untimely grave hundreds of Infants whose lives might have been saved by the übo of the simple Necklet. In addition to tho relict from pain afforded by tho Necklet during the period of dentitiou, by its nerve-givi-g force it wardß off and prevents Measles, Whooping Cough, Scarlet Fever. Croup; and Chicken Pox, thus relieving ohlldhood of its ui.aitjriuuui, uuu glaaaoning iHe Dunn, vi evoij u.J«.t... _i_. l _ OTO j r^ 1^ ft tJ ■ Dr Kurstelner has appointed Messrs CONROD <% CO., Auckland, his sole agents m New Zealand for the oftie of these Necklets, from tfhom only they can be obtained. The price has been placed at the very lowest possible point, point, barely covering the coat of importation, and is within the reaoh of all, aB one Necklet will last t, 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 poßta note, money order, or registered letter. No cheques received. Address- J. OONROD&OO., P.O. Box 408, Auckland, N.Z.

No Farmei valuing Clean (Seed can ah to ro without a BACINE FAN MILL. Practical Farmers have pronounced it the Best— lead TESTIMONIALS below. While it baa capacity to Clean from 60 t~> 90 bneheJs per hour. No. i FARM MILL Is 2ft Bin over all, nnd is furnished with Wheat Hurdle, one Whftat Bcteen and Grade with . Bide spout, one Barley bieve, and one Oat Sieve. Sieves for other purposes furniuhed and charged for as eztrae. ____ F. FERRIMAN; FFERRIMAN would cnll your attention • to this Improved Farm Fanning Mill which combines all the advantages of the various Mills now m VBt, and »Ibo the follow* ing important and greatly needed Improve- mente: — First.— ln the width of the Mill, it being wider than most Farm Mills of similar eize, thereby increasing the cleaning capacity to a large extent. Becohd.— The impiovttd plan ©1 htcßitig th shoe upon rtrong strap* hinged hangers, thn preventing constant breakage. Third.— ld the matter? 1 fastening the dram ha head to the posts fel means of a castiron lorf circle, and secured to the posts by screws (instead of wooden cleats morticed into posts and held by wooden keys), adding increased strength and durability to the Mill. Fourth. — The great advantage of raising or lowering tho elide m the Hopper means of a screw. The irons ue of the most approved the wheel, pinion, and shake irons being strong. The gearing is all placed on the in* side of the mill, out of the way. The bearing is formed by the hub of the large wheel run- ningiu 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 respects, to any now m use. The fan with wind boards are so ar- ranged that the wind strikes the hurdle m en-h a manner as to blow all foul stuff and light grain over the hurdle. The Bide spont delivers the No 1 train at the side, and the No 2 grain at the front of the Mill. The grader can toe so adjusted as to Beparote and deliver through the side spont a greater or less portion of the best groin; The wheat screens and grader are so arranged as to effectually take out ccckle from No 1 and No 2 wheatt No Farmer or Dealer Bhould bo without one bb they are invaluable to all who wish to market their seed m good condition, and thus Bave the heavy deductions nßually made for impurities and foul stuff, and also the extra freight charges and cost of cleaning. They also save time, 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 Eeo^B, we would recommend the No 2 Ware- house Mill, as specially adapted for their use, as the great saving of time will compensate for the difference m the first cost. They can be ' ran by hand as easily aa a Farm Size, although constructed much heavisr, and made more durable. Be guided by experience of others and order a "Bacine Mill." You don't want a better record than it has. Bead. 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 Blaf c, 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 Beed, and I have seen and helped ie work a good many. — Whmam Brook, Church Hill. Waiwera. COMPLIMENTARY. I am very much pleased with it,— John Oameroh, Swift Creek, Kelso. COULD NOT BAVE A BETTER CHARACTER. I have given the " Racine " Warehouse Fan Mill a good trial, and it gives every sa'islac- t'on. I consider it * first-rate article. It cleans and grades grain rapidly and well, ia strong, works smoothly, and will, I think, prove durable. It is much Srperior to any other machine of the kind I have ever seen.— F. W. Mackenzie (the Captain). Fomahaka. BEST MACHINE OF THE KIND I HAVE EVER SEEN. I have tried it with wheat, oats, and turnip seed I can confidently say that it is all that it claims to be. In fact, it is a long way the b?st machine of the kind I have ever Been, With a larger assortment of riddles, I believe it will dress m a superior manner any kind seeds.— William Littlejohw, Waiwera WOULD ISOT LIKB TO WANT ONE NOW— NO ONE SHOULD. I can confidently recommend the " Racine Fanners t* do their work well, and with extreme facility. I would not by any meant like te want one now, and I think no farmei Bhould— David Mackenzie, Waiwera.
