' f Although new to New Zealand, these Necklets havo been used for the last five years with the most Wonderful Succobb In England, on the Continent and m the United States, and are now constantly prescribed by the moat eminent physiolant m their daily praotlce. p It Is needless to oomment on the anxious and sleepless nights parsed by  thousands of mothers during the painful period of the teething of InfantsT Every , day brings to an untimely grave hundreds of Infants whose lives might have been c saved by the use of the simple Necklet. In addition to the relief from pain afforded by tho Neoklet during the period of dentition, by Its nerve glvbg force It wards off and prevents Measles, Whoonlna Cough, Scarlet Fever, Croup, and Chicken Fox, thua relieving ohildhood of Its martyrdom, and gladdening the heart of every mother who Invokes its aid, , { Dr Kurstelner has appointed Messrs CONROD A CO., Auokland, bis sole a agents In New Zealand ior the sale of these Necklets, from ffhom only h they oan be oDtained. The price has been placed at the very lowest possible point, j. point, barely cover ng the coot of Importation, and is within tho reach of all, as one Neoklet will last a life time. Aside from Its many virtues as a remedial tnd preventive agent the Neoklet' 1 a handsome ornament, and will be sent free on receipt of One Pound, by notao vote, money order, or registered letter, No oheqnes received.
