Metallic substances is Impre^natf d with a chemical solution, harmless m itaelf, anJl yet containing titanic ppvre^B, whiph generate a continuouß light cnrrent of galvanism, and the Neoklet In consequence contains ail the'virtue»~of a miniature battery, and is therefor© not a useless artiole like so many, of the 80-oalled electrio appliances, which cannot possibly produoe any good results,- as they are Incomplete In the moat eseential requirements, and cannot generate galvanism nor produoe galvanic effeota. . ... This Neoklet Is the outcome of a long-continued Berieß of Investigating experiments by that well-known and eminent ecientist and specialist, Dr Aagußte Kurstelner, who is the highest European authority on all diseases of women and children The Lancet, the leading medicaJ journal of the world, says :— " The fact that the discovery and invention of theae Neckletß is announced by Dr Kurateiner Ib a sufficient guarantee that a means has at last been diacovorod whioh will aave the lives of millions of ohildren, and relieve the anxiety of many mothers. ' Although new to New Zealand; these Necklets have been used for the last five years with the moat Wonderfur Success m England, on, the.ConJinent, and In the United States, and are now oonotantly prescribed by the most eminent physicians In their daily practice. * . It is needless to comment on the anxious and Bleepleaa nights papaed by thousands of mothers during the painful period of the teething of Infants, Every day brings to an untimely grave hundreds of infants whose lives might have been saved by the use of the tjimple Necklet, % , _ , , j In addition to the relief from pain afforded' by the Necklet during the period of dentitiou, by its nerve-glvrg force It wards off and prevents Meaßles, Whooping Cough, Scarlet Fever, Croup, and, Chicken Pox, thus relieving childhood of its martyrdom, and gladdening the heart ot every mother who invokes its aid, Dr Kursteiner has appointed Messrs OONROD '*. CO., Auckland, his sole agenta m New Zealand for the cale of these Necklets, from rfhom only they can be obtained. The price haß beon placed at the very loweßt possible point, point, barely covering the cost of importation, and is within the reach of all, an one Necklet will last a life time. - Aside from its many virtues as a remedial and preventive ogenfc, the Necklet 1 a handsome ornament, and will be Bent free on receipt of One Pouod, by posta note, money order, or registered letter.

H. & E. CRAIGHEAI), Tailors, 6 2 Tancred street, Aahburton EACINE FAN FARM MILL THE TEETED FARM MILL. The Cheapest and Best Ft n Mill m the Market. No Farmer valuing Clean riced can aft. to jrb without a RACINE FAN MILL. Practical Farmers have pronounced it thb Best— read TEBTIMONIALB below. While it has capacity to Oloan from 60 to 90 bnshete per hour, - So. 1 FARM MILL Is 2ft Bin over all, and is furnished with Wheat Hurdle, one Wheat Screen and Qra a^ with side spout, ©no Barley Sieve, and one 0 , Sieve. Sieves for other purposes furniahe" and charged for as extras. F. FERRIMAN; FFBBBIMAN would call your attention • to this Improved Farm Fanning Mill which combines all the advantages of the various Mills now m use, and also the follow- ing important and greatly reeded Improve- ments :— FjKST.— In the width of the Mill, it being wider tbab. most Farm Mills of similar size, thereby increasing the cleaning capacity to a large extent. Beoond.— The improved plan of banging th choc upon, etrong strap- hinged hangers, thu preventing constant breakage. Third. — In the matters f fastening the drum ha head to the posts "ky means of a castiron Icrf circle, and secured to the poßts by screws (instead of wooden cleats morticed into posts 'and held by wooden keys), adding increased strength and durability to the Mill. Fotjbth. — The great advantage of raising or lowering the slide m the Hopper means of a screw. The irons <ne of the most approved the wheel, pinion, and shake lions being etrong. 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- ning m 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 oi 1 grain, we guarantee thie Mill to be equal to, and m fact supeijor, m all respects, to any now m use. The fan with wind boards are so ar- ranged that the wind strikes the hurdle m such a manner aa to blow all fcul stuff and light grain over tho hurdle. The Bide spout delivers the No 1 fiain at tho side, and the No 2 gruit at the front of the Mill. The grader can id sc adjusted as to separate and deliver through the side spout a greater or less portion of the best groin. The wheat screens and gTader are st arranged as to effectually take out c.ckle fron: No 1 and No 2 wheat» No Farmer or Dealer should be without oni eb they are inraluable to all who wish t< market their seed m good condition, and thui cave the heavy deductions usually made io: impurities and foul stuff, and also the extn freight charges and cost of cleaning. The] also save time, and by the thorough and com plete work which can be accomplished witl them, foon repay the cost incurred m thei purchase. To Farmers raising large quantities of Grain or Eee"P, we would recommend the No 2 Ware house Mill, as epecia^y adopted for their use as the greatsnvingof time will compensate fo: the difference m the first cost. They can bi rsn by hand as easily ac a Farm Size, nitho >gl constructed much heavier, and made men durable* Be guided by cxpeiienco of others and orde a "Ba-ino Mill." You don't want a bette record than it has. Read. MADE A BPLUNDID JOB. I put some bags of wheat through las spring, they made a splendid job. A ncighbo borrowed mine to run through some oafr wheat ; he waa highly pleased with the iol they made. — William Blaf c, Hillfor Waiwera. NEVER SAW ITS EQUAL.

I have given the '• Racine " Warehouse Fa Mill a good trial, and it gives every sa'istai t on. I consider it » first-rate article. ] cl?ans and grades grain rapidly and well, Btrong, works smoothly.and will, I think, proi durable. It is much Superior to any oth< machine of tho kind I have ever seen. — F. V Mackenzie (the Captain), Pomahaka. BEST MACHINE OF THE KIND I HAY EVER SEEN. I have tried it with wheat, oats, and turn seed. I can confidently say that it is all thi it claims to be. In fact, it is a long way tl best machine of the kind I have ever see With a larger assortment of riddles, I belie it will dress m a superior manner any kind seeds.— William Littlejohn, Waiwera WOULD IsOT LIKE TO WANT ONE NOW— NO ONE SHOULD. I can confidently recommend the " Racine Fanners to do their work well, and wi extreme facility. I would not by any mea like to want one now, and I think no farm should— David Mackenzie, Waiwora.
