AN INEXPRESSIBLE BOON TO MOTHERS. Dr Auguste Kurp teiner's ELECTRO GALVANIC TEETHING NECKLET 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 pnbllc the dlscoverer*and proprietor begs to draw Special attention to the fact that the material surround- ing the inner chain of uetallio substances is lmpregnatpd with a chemical solution, harmless m itself, an., yet containing titanic powers, which generate a continuous light current of galvanism, and the Necklet m consequence contains ail tbe virtues of _ miniature battery , and is therefore not a useless article like sn many of the so-oalled ileotrlo appliances, whloh cannot possibly produce any good results, as they are Incomplete m the most essential requirements, and cannot generate galvanism nor produce galvanlo effects. This Necklet la the outcome of a long-continued aeries of Investigating Experiments by that well-known and eminent scientist and specialist, Dr Auguste Kursteiner, who is the highest European authority on all diseases of women and children The Lancet, the leading medical journal of the world, says : — " The faot that the discovery and Invention of these Necklets la announced by Dr Kursteiner is a sufficient guarantee that a means has at laßt 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 tbe last five pears with the moßt Wonderful Success m England, on the Continent, and m the United -States, and are now constantly prescribed by the moat eminent physicians m their daily practice. It is needless to oomment on tbo anxlons and sleepless nights passed by thousands of mothers during the painful period of the teething of Infants. Every clay 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 - Df dentitiou, by its nerve giving force It wards off and prevents Measles, Whooping dough, Scarlet Fever, Croup, and Chicken Pox, thus relieving childhood of its martyrdom, and gladdening tl.e heart of every mother who invokea its aid, Dr Kursteiner has appointed Messrs CONROD & CO., Auckland, hlB sole agents m New Zealand for the sale of these Necklets, from ..hom only they can be obtained. The price has been placed at t_6 very lowest possible point, point, barely covering the coat 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 1 _. handsome ornament, and will be sent free on receipt of One Pound, by poata note, money order, or registered letter. No oheqceß received. i Address— J. CONROD & CO., P.O. Box 408, Auckland, N.Z. < W.

While it has cay3city to Clean from 60 t. 90 bußhels per hour.

F. FERRIMAN. FFEBBIMAH would call your attantion « to tbia Improved Farm Fanning Mill which combines all the advartages of the various Mills now m use, and also tbe follow- ing importaut and greatly needed Improve- ments : — FIRST. — In the width of the Mill, it being wider tbah most Farm Mills of similar size, thereby increasing the cleaning capacity to a. large extent. Second. — The improved plan of hanging th shoe upon strong strap- hinged hangers, thu preventing constant breakage. Third.— ld the matterr f fastening the drum ha head to the posts fe. means of a castiron lorf circle, and secured to the posts by aorews (instead of wooden cleats morticed into posts and held by wooden keys), adding increase- strength and durability to the Mill. Fo_BTH. — The great advantage of raising or lowering the slide m the Hopper means of a screw. The irons aie of the most approved the wheel, pinion, and shake irons being strong. 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 incheß 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 nse. The fan with wind boardß are bo ar- 1 ranged that the wind strikes the hurdle m so eh ■' a manner as to blow all fcul stuff and light grain over the hurdle. The side spont delivers the No 1 s rain at the side, and the No 2 grain at the front of the Mill. The grader can be so adjnßted as to separate and deli vei. thrpugk the side spout a greater or less portion of the best gmin. The wheat screens and grader are so arranged ns to effectually take out cckle from No 1 and No 2 wheat. No Farmer or Deale* should bo without one as they are invaluable to all who wish to market their seed m good conoition, and thus save the heavy deductions usually made for impurities and foul Btuff, 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, _ oon repay the cost incurred m their purchase. To Farmers raising large quantities of Grain, or bee: b, we would recommend the No 2 Ware- house Mill, as specially adapted for their nse. as the great saving of time will compensate for the difference m the first cost. They can be tan by hand as easily a» a Farm Size, although constructed much heavier, and made more: da'able, Be guided by experience of others and orde a "Bacine Mill." You d-___ want a bettet record than it has. Bead. MADE A SPLENDID JOB. I put some bags of wheat through last Bpring, they made a splendid job. A neighbor borrowed mine to run through Borne oaty j w_eat : he was highly pleased with the job they made.-— William Blaf b, Hillfort Waiwera. | NEVER SAW ITS EQjAL. I have only used the " Racine " MiU, 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 Beed, and I have seen and helped \o work a good many. —-William Brook, (.hurch Hill. Waiwera. COMPLIMENTARY. I am very much pleased with it, — JOHN Camekow, Bwift Creek, Kelso. COULD NOT BAVE A BETTER CHARACTER. Z I have given the "' Racine " Warehouse Fan Mill a goo 1 trial, and it gives every sa'istac- t od. I consider it n first-rate article. It clans and grades grain rapidly and well, is strong, works smoothly , and will, 1 think, provt durable. It is much epperior to any othei machine of the kind I have ever seen. — F. W. Mackenzie (the Captiin), Poamhaka. BEST MACHINE OF THE XL.D I HAVE EVER SEEN. I have tried it with wheat, oats, and turnip seed £ can confidently Bay 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 bolieve it will dress m a superior manner any kind Beeda.—WlLlilAil Little. OHM, Waiwera ! WOULD ISOT LIKB TO WANT ONE NOW—NO ONE SHOULD. I can confidently recommend the " Racine Fanners te do their work well, and wi_v extreme facility. I would not by any means like to want one now, and I think no farmei s_.ould,-_OAViD Mackenzie, Waiwera.
