AN IK EXPRESSIBLE BOON TO MOTHERS. Dr Auguste Kursteiner's ELECTRO GALVANIC TEETHING NECKLETj Endorsed by the Medical Faculty of Europe, And pronounced by al Leading Physicians The Greatest Discovery of the Age » . . ■-■■■■■.■■•■'{ IN placing the Electric Necklet before the New Zealand public the discoverer and proprietor begs to draw Kpeoial attention, to the fact that the material snrronndr Ing the inner ohain of ruetalHo substances is Impregnated with a chemical solution harmless m Itfeelf, ani yet containing titanic (overs, which generate a oontinuoni light onrrent of galvanism, and the Neoklet m consequence contains all the virtues, pj a miniafnre battery, and is therefore not a useless artiole like sn many of the so-called electric appliances, which cannot possibly produce any good results, as they are i incomplete m the most essential requirements, and oannot generate galvanism aor produce gaivanio effects. ; ( .2 < This Neoklet is the outcome of a long-continued series of investigating experiments by that well-known and eminent scientist and specialist, Dr Aaguste Kurßtelner, who is the highoat 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 M ccklets is announced by Dr Knrstelner 1b 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, these 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 most eminent physicians In their dally practice. It is > needless to comment on the anxious and sleepless nights passed by thousand's 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 simple Necklet. In addition to the relief from pafn afforded by the Necklet during the period of dentitiou, by its nerve glvi-g 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 Kuratelner has appointed Meserß CONROD & CO., Auckland, his sole agents m New Zealand for the dale of these Necklets, from whom only they can be obtained. The price has been placed at the very lowest possible point, point, barely covering the cost of importation, and 1b within the reach of all, as one Necklet will last a life time. Aside from its many virtues as a remedial »nd preventive agent, the Necklet 3 a handsome ornament, and will be sent free on reoeipt of One Pound, by petao note, money order, or registered letter.
