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 the Age IN plaoing the Electrio 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 of uetallio substances is impregnated with a chemical solution, harmless tn itself, an., yet containing titanio powers, whloh generate a continuous light onrrent of galvanism, and the Necklet m consequence contains ail the virtuea of a minlatnre battery, and is therefore not a useless article like bo many of the so-called electrio appliances, whioh cannot possibly produce any good results, as they are incomplete m the moßt essential requirements, and cannot generate galvanism nor prodnoe gaivanlo effects. Thl- Necklet is the outcome of a long-continued series of Investigating experiments by that well-known and eminent scientist and specialist, Dr Anguste Kurstelner, who Is the highest Europesn authority on all diseases of women and children The Lancet, the leading medical journal of the world, says : — " The faot that the dl.oovery and invention of these ISecklets is announced by Dr Kurstelner is a sufficient guarantee that a means has at last been discovered whioh will Bave the lives of millions of children, and relieve the anxiety of many mothers. ' Although new to New Zealand, these Neoklets have been used for the laßt five years with the moßt Wonderful Success m England, on the Continent, and m the United States, and are now oonstantly prescribed by the most eminent physicians m their daily praotice. It is needless to comment on the anxious and sleepless nights paPßed by thousands of motherß during the painful period of the teething of infants. Every day brings to an untimely grave hundreds of Infants whose lives might have been aaved by the übo of the Bimple Neoklet. In addition to the relief from pain afforded by the Necklet during the period of dentitiou, by Ita nerve giving force it wardß off and prevents Meaß_es,~Whd6p_rigT Cough, Scarlet Fever, Croup, and Ohioken Pox, thus relieving ohlldhood of its martyrdom, and gladdening the heart of every mother who Invokes Its aid, Dr Kurstelner has appointed Messrs CONROD & CO., Auckland, bis sole agents m New Zealand for • the sale of these Necklets, from .vhom only they can be obtained. The price has been placed at the very lowest possible point, point, barely covering the cost 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 and preventive agent, the Necklet i a handsome ornament, and will be sent free on receipt of One Pound, by posta note, money order, or registered letter. No chequeß received. Address— J. CONROD & CO., P.O. Box 408, Auckland, N.Z. W* PATCHING, TENT, TARPAULIN, FLAG, AND HORSECLOTH MANUFACTURER.

Practical Farmers have prononnced it thb Best— read TESTIMONIALS below. While it has capacity to Clean from 60 to 90 bushels per hour. No. 1 FARM MILL Is 2ft 8m ever all, and is famished with Wo* at Hurdle, one Wheat Screen anG I wieh side spent, ene Barley Sieve, anone Sieve. Bio ». «s for other purpoeeß nrni and charged for as ex.rae. F. F&B-ZI2J AN; FFEItEIMAI* would call yonr attention 0 to this improved Farm Fanning Mill which combines all the advartages of the various Milln now m use, and also tbe follow- ing important and greatly needed Improve- ments :— Fibbt. — In tho width of the Mill, it being wider thah most Farm Millß of similar size, thereby increasing the cleaning capacity to a large ex'ent. bECOND.— The improved plan of hanging th shoe upon strong strap-hinged hangers, thn preventing constant breakage. Third.—- Id the ma.terc ! fastening the dram ha head to the postß b. means of a castiron lorf circle, and secured to the posts by Borews (instead of wooden cleats morticed into posts and held by wooden keys), adding increase.! strength and durability to the Mill. Fourth. — The great advantage of raising or lowering the slide m the Hopper means of a screw. The ironß aie of the most approved the wheel, pinion, and shake irons being Btrong. The gearing is all placed on the in* side of the mill, ont of the way. The bearing is formed by the hnb of the large wheel run- ning m a thimble or box, three inches 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 BUperior, m all respects, to any now m übo. The fan with wind boards are so ar* j ranged that the wind strikes the hurdle m such a manner aa to blow all fcul stuff and light . grain over the hurdle. The side epout delivers the No 1 £rain at the side, and the No 2 grain at the front of the Mill. The grader can be so ad jußted as to separate and deliver through the side spout a greater or less portion of the best grain; The wheat screen, and grader are so arranged as to effectually take out cockle from No 1 and No 2 wheat. No Farmer or Deale* should be without one as they are m raluable to all who wish to market their Beed m good condition, and thus save the heavy deductions usually made for impurities and fonl stuff, and also the extra freight chargeß and cost of cleaning, They also save time, and by the thorough and com* plete wor£ which can be accomplished with them, soon repay the cost incurred m their purchase. To Fanners raising large quantities of Grain, or Beet's, 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 fiTßt cost. They can be rnn by hand as easily aa a Farm Size, although constructed much heavier, and made more du r able. Be guided by experience of others and order a " Batine Mill." You don't want a better record than it has. Bead. MADE A SPLENDID JOB. I put Borne bags of wheat through last spring, they made a splendid job. A neighbor borrowed mine to run through Borne oaty wheat ; he was highly pleased with the job they made.— -William Blaf c, Hillfort Waiwera. NEVER SAW ITS EQdAL. I have only used the " Racine " Mill, as yet, for dressing oats, wheat, and graßS Beed. It haß given me great satisfaction, I have never seen itß equal for grading wheat for seed, and I have Been and helped io work a good many. —William Brook, i.hurch Hdl. Waiwera. COMPLIMENTARY. I am very much pleased with it,— John Cameron, Swift Creek, Kelso. COULD NOT HAVE A BETTER CHARACTER. I have given the •' Bacine " Warehouse Fan Mill a gooi trial, and it giveß every Ba'istac- ton. I consider it - first-rate article. It cleans and gradeß grain rapidly and well, ia Btrong, works Bmoothly, and will, 1 think, prove durable. It is much K.perior to any other machine of the kind I have ever seen. — F. W. Mackenzie (the Captain), Poro ahaka, BEBT MACHINE OF THE KIC.D I HAVE EVER 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 bolieve it will dress m a superior manner any kind Bee <_9. — William Littlbjohn, Waiwera WOULD IS OT LIKE TO WANT ONE NOW— NO ONE SaOULD. I can confidently recommend the " Racine Fanners te do their work well, and witl. extreme facility. I would not by any means like to want one now, and I think no farmer silouia.— -David Mackenzie, Waiwera.
