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 Zoaland pnbllo the discoverer and proprietor begs to draw Special attention to the fact that the material surround- ing the inner ohaln of metallic substances is Impregnated with a chemical solution, harmless m itaelf, and yet containing tiianic (overs, which generate a continuous light onrrent of galvanism, and the Necklet mi consequence contains ail the virtues of a. miniature batter;, and is therefore not a useless article like so many of the so-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. Thla Necklet Is the outcome of a long-continued series, of investigating experiments by that well-known and eminent scientist and specialist, Dr Auguste Kuratelner, who is the highest European authority on all diseasea of women and children The Lanokt, the leading medical journal of the world, says : — " The fact that the disoovery and invention of these Necklets is announced by Dr Kuretelner is a sufficient guarantee that a meanß has at last been discovered whioh will save the lives of millions of children, and relieve the, anxiety of many mother's," Although new to New Zealand, these Necklets have been used for the last five years with the roost Wonderful Success m England, on the Continent, and In the United Stntaa, and are now constantly prescribed by the most eminent physicians In their daily practice. ~ — . _. It is needleas to comment on the anxious and. sleepless nights passed by thoneanda of mothers during the painful period of the teething cf Infants. Every day brings to an untimely grave hundreds of infants whose lives might have been saved by the use of the simple Necklet. 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 Cough, Scarlet Fever, Croup, and Chicken Pox, thua relieving childhood of its martyrdom, and gladdening the heart of every mother who invokes Us aid, Dr Kurateiner has appointed Messrs CONROD & CO., Auckland, his sole agents m New Zealand for the sale of these Necklets, from whom only they oan be obtained. The price has been placed at the very lowest possible point, point, bsrely covering the cost of importation, and is within the reach of all. as one Necklet will last 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. No cheques received. Address- J. CONROD&CO., P.O.
