Dr Auguste Rureteiner's ELECTRO GALVANIC TEETHING NECKLET, Endorsed by the Medical Faculty of Europe, And pronounced by 'all Leading Phyoidans The Greatest Discovery of the Age IN placing the Electric Necklet before the New Zealand public the diacoverer and proprietor begs to draw Special attention to the fact that <he material surround- ing the inner chain of metallic substances f3 Impregnated with a chemical eolation, harmless In iteelf, and yet containing titanic f overs, whioh generate a continuous light current of galvanism, and tha NeckletJn consequence contains ail the virtuea of a miniature battery, and is therefore not a usoless article like s" many of the 80-cal'ed 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. This Necklet Is the outcome of a loug-oontlnued series of Investigating experiments by that well-known and eminent scientist and specialist Dr Auguste Kurstelner, who is the highest European authority on all diseases of women and children The Lanoex, the leading medical journal of the world, nays :— " The fact that the discovery and Invention of these Mecklets is announced by Dr Kuratelner is a sufficient guarantee that a rucanß has at last been discovered which will save tho lives of milUonß of children, and relieve the anxiety of many mothers." Although new to New Zealand, bbeae Necklets have been nsed 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 moat eminent physicians In their daily practice. It is needless to comment on the "anxious and eleopleßa ' nlghra passed by thousands of mothers during the jra'nful period of the teething cf infants. Every day briuge to an untimely grave hundreds of infanta whose lives might have been saved by the use of the simple Necklet. In addition to the relict from pam afforded by the Necklet during the period of dentitiou, by its nerve-giving force it warde off and prevents Measles, Whooping Cough, Scarlet Fever, Orcup, and Chicken Pox, thus relieving childhood of its martyrdom, and gladdening the heart of every mother who invokes Us aid, Dr Kursteinor has appointed Messrs CONROD Xr. CO., .Auckland, his sole agents m New Zealand for the Bale of these Necklets, from .vhom only they can be obtained. The price has been plaoed at th 6 very lowest possible point, point, barely 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 «nd preventive agent, the Necklet i a handsome ornament, and will be sent free on receipt of One Pouod, by posta note, money order, or regiatered letter.
