AN INEXPRESSIBLE BOON TO MOTHERS. Dr Auguste Kureteiner's ELECTRO GALVANIC TEETHING NECKLET Endorsed by the Medical Faculty of Europe, And pronounced by al Leading Physlciano The Greatest Discovery of the Age IN placing the Electric Necklut before the New Zealand pnbllo the dlsooveror and proprietor begs to draw Speolal attention to the fact that the material surround- ing the inner chain of metallic (substances 1b impregnated with a chemical solution, harmless m itself, and yet containing titanic powers, which generate a continuous light onrrent of galvanism, and the Necklet In consequence contains ail the virtues of a miniature battery, and is therefore not a useless article like so many of the no-called eleotrlo appliances, which oannot possibly produce any good results, as they are incomplete m the most eaeential requirements, and cannot generate galvanism nor produce galvanic effeota. ' This Neoklet is the outcome of a long-continued series of investigating experiments by that well-known and eminent scientist and specialist,^ Dr Aagnete 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 discovery and invention of these Necklets 1b announced by Dr Kurstelner 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, fcheße Necklets have been used for the last five years with the most Wonderful Success m England, on the Continent, and m the United States, and are now constantly prescribed by the moat eminent physicians In their daily praotice. It is needless to comment on the anxious and sleepleßS nights paused by thousands of mothers during the painful period of the teething of infants. Every day bringß to an untimely grave hundreds of infants whose lives 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 dentitiou, by Its nerve giving force It wards off and prevents Measles, Whooping 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 Kurotelner has appointed Meaerß CONROD & CO., Auckland, his sole agents m New Zealand for the sale of theae Necklets, from whom only they oan be obtained. The price has been placed at the very lowest possible point, point, barely covering the cost of importation, and is within the reach of all, afl one Neoklet 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 reoeipt of One Pound, by posta note, money order, or registered letter.

Sieves for other purposes urni and charged for as extras. F» FERBIMAN. FFERRIMAN would call your attention I * to this Improved Farm Fanning Mill which combines all the advantages of the various Milk now m übc, and also the follow- ing important and greatly needed Improve- ments :— 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. BBOOHD.— The improved plan of hanging th choc upon strong strap* hinged hangers, thn preventing constant breakage. Thibd.— ld thematterf f fastening the drum ha head to the posts by means of a castiron lorf circle, rmd secured to the posts by screws (instead of wooden cleats morticed into posta and held by wooden keys), adding increased Btrengtn and durability to the Mill. Fourth.— The great advantage of raising or lowering the Blide m the Hopper means of a screw. The irons ue of the most approved the wheel, pinion, and Bhake irons being strong. The gearing is all placed on the in* Bide of the mill, out of the way. The bearing is formed by the hnb of the large wheel run-' ning m a thimble or box, three Laches 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 bo ar- ranged that the wind Btrikeß the hurdle m such a manner as to blow all fcul stuff and light grain over the hurdle. The Bide spout delivers the No 1 firain at the side, and the No 2 grain at the front of the Mill. The grader can be so adjusted as to separate and deliver through the side spont a greater or less portion of the best grain; The wheat screens and grader are bo arranged as to effectually take out ccCkle from No 1 and No 2 wheats No Farmer or Dealer should ba without one as they are m valuable to all who wish to market their seed m good condition, and thus save the heavy deductions usually 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, coon repay the cost incurred m their purchase. To Farmers raising large quantities of Grain, or See:is, 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 run by hand as easily aa a Farm Sire, although constructed much heavier, and made more durable. Be guided by experience of otherß and order a "Bacine Mill." You don't want a better record than it has. Bead, MADE A SPLENDID JOB. I put some bagß 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 b, Hillfort Waiwera. NEVEB SAW ITS EQJAL. I have only used the " Bacine " 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 seed, and I have seen and helped te work a good many. —William Brook, Church Hill. Waiwera. COMPLJMBNTABY. I am very much pleased with it, — JOHN Cameron, Swift Creek, Kelso. COULD NOT HAVE A BETTER OHABACTEB. I have given the l< Racine " Warehouse Fan Mill a gool tnal, and it gives every sa'iatac- t on. I coßßider it ° first-rate article. It cUana and gradeß grain rapidly and well, is Btrong, works smoothly, and will, I think, prove durable. It is much Superior to any other machine of the kind I have ever seen,— F. W. Maokenzib (the CapUin), Pomahaka. BEST MACHINE OF THE KIND I HAVE EVEB SEEN. I have tried it with wheat, oats, and turnip seed. I can confidently say that it is all that it claimß to be. In fact, it is a long way the best machine of the kind I have ever seen. With a larger assortment of riddles, I believe it will dress m a superior manner any kind seeds.— William Littlbjohk, Waiwera WOULD isOT LIKE TO WANT ONE NOW— NO ONE SBOULD. I can confidently recommend the " Bacina Fanners ta do their work well, and yrit\ extreme facility. I wonld not by any means like to want one now, and I think no farmer ehonld.— David Mackenzie, Waiwera.
