AN INEXPRESSIBLE BOON TO MOTHERS. Dr Auguste Kurpteiner's ELECTRO GALVANIC TEETHING NECKLET Endorsed by the Medical Faculty of Europe, And pronounced by al Leading Physicians The Greatest Discovery of tlie Age IN plaoing the Eleotrio Necklet before the New Zealand pnbllo the discoverer and proprietor begs to draw Special attention to the fact that the material surround- ing the inner chain g? metalHo substances is impregnated with a chemical solution, harmless m itaelf, , &nJI yet containing titanic powers, which generate a continuous light current of galvanism, and the Necklet In consequence contains ail the vlrtuei of a miniature battery, and Is therefore not a useless article like so many of the so-called eleotrio appliances, which cannot possibly produce any good results, as they are incomplete m the most essential requirements, and oannot 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 scientist and specialist, Dr Aaguete Kursteiner, who is the highest Europesn authority on all diseases of women and children The Lanoet, the leading medical journal of the world, says : — " The ftot that the discovery and Invention of these Neckleta is announced by Dr Kursteiner is a sufficient guarantee that a means has at last been discovered whioh 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 moat Wonderful Success m England, on the Continent, and m the United States, and are now constantly prescribed by the most eminent physicians In their daily practice. It is needless to comment on the anxious and sleepless nights paesed 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 Necklet, In addition to the relief from pa(n afforded by the Necklet during the period of dentitiou, by its nerve giving force It wards off and prevents Measles,Whooplng Oough, Scarlet Fever, Croup, and Chicken Pox, thus relieving ohildhood of its martyrdom, and gladdening the heart of every mother who Invokes Its aid. Dr Kursteiner has appointed Messrs CONROD & CO., Auokland, his sole agents m New Zealand for the sale of these Necklets, from whom only they can be obtained. The price has been placed at th 6 very lowest possible point, point, barely covering the oost of importation, and is within the reaoh of all, as one Necklet will last a life time. Aside from Its many virtues as a remedial md preventive agent, the Necklet 1 a handsome ornament, and will be sent free on receipt of One Pound, by posta vote, money order, or registered letter, No cheques received, Address- J.

F. FEBBIMAN. F FEBBIMAN wonld call jour attention « to this Improved Farm Fanning Mill which combines all the advantages of the various Mills now m nst, and also the follow* ing important and greatly seeded Improve- ments:— First.— ln the width of the Mill, it being wider than most Farm Mills of similar sice, thereby increasing the cleaning capacity to a large extent. Bkoond.— The improved plan of hanging th shoe upon strong strap-hinged hangors, tbn preventing constant breakage. Thibxj.— ld the matteref fastening the drum ha head to the ports by means of a castiron lorf circle, »nd secured to the posts by screws (instead of weoden cleats morticed into posts and held by wooden keys), adding increased strength and durability to the Mill. FotJttTH.— The great advantage of raising or lowering the slide m the Hopper means of a screw. The irons are of the most approved the wheel, pinion, and shake irons being strong. The gearing is all placed on the in> side of the milt, out of the way. The bearing is f ornied by the hub of the large wheel run- ning m a- thimble or box, three inohes long, of Chilled Iron and extending through the posts, giving it a Bteady 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 saoh a manner as to blow all fcul stuff and light grain over the hurdle. The side spout delivew the No 1 grain 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 so arranged as to effectually take out cockle from No 1 and No 2 whsati No Farmer or Dealer should ba without one en they are invaluable 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 coßt 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 Qrainj or Eeern, 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 Size, although constructed much heavier, and made more durable. Be guided by experience of others and orSer a M 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, Hilllort Waiwera. NEVEB SAW ITS EQUAL. 1 have only used the " Bacine " Mill, as yet, for dressing oata, 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 i« work a good many. — Wiiltam Brook, Church Hill. Waiwera. COMPLIMENTARY. I am very much pleased with it,— John Gamkrow, Swift Creek, Kelso. COULD NOT SAVE A BETTEB CHABAOTBB. I have given the " Bacine " Warehouse Fan Mill a good trial, and it gives every sa'istac- t'on. I consider it * first-rate article^ It cleans and grades grain rapidly and wall, is strong, works smoothly , and will, I think; provt durable. It is much £cperior to any other machine of the kind I have ever seen.— F, W. Maokbnzii (the Captain), Pomahaka. BEST MACHINE OF THE KIND I HAVE <ft EVEB 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 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 Littlejohii, Waiwera WOULD *>OT LIKE TO WANT ONE MOW— NO ONE SHOULD. I can confidently recommend the " Bacine Fanners to do their work well, and witk. extreme facility. I wonld not by any means like to want one now, and I think no farmer Bhould— David Mackenzie, Waiwera.
