Dr Auguste Kureteiner's ELECTRO GALYANI6 TEETHING NECKLET, Endorsed by the Medical Faculty of Europe, And pronounced by all Leading Physicians The Greatest Discovery of the Age IN placing the Electric Necklet before the New Zealand pnblio the discoverer and proprietor begs to draw Special attention to the fact that the material surround* ing the inner chain of metallic substances is impregnated wiih a chemical solution, harmless In itaelf, and yet containing titanic (overs, which generate a continuous light entrant of galvanism, and the Necklet in consequence contains ail the virtues of a miniature battery, and is therefore not a uaeleHs article like so many of tho so-called eleotrlo appliances, which cannot possibly produce any good results, as they are incomplete in the most essential requirements, and cannot generate galvanism nor produce galvanic effeots. This Neoklet Is the outcome of a long-continued series of Investigating 'experiments by that well-known and eminent scientist and specialist, Dr Auguste Kurstelner, who is the highest Europesn authority on all diseases of women and children The Lancet, the leading medical journal of the world, says 2— " The faot that the discovery and invention of these Necklets is announced by Dr Kurstelner is a Buffioient guarantee that a means has at last been discovered whloh will save the lives of millions of children, and relieve the anxiety of many mothers." Althongh new to New Zealand, these Necklets have been used for the last five years with the moot Wonderful Success in England, on the Continent, and In the United States, and are now constantly prescribed by the most eminent physicians in their dally practice. It is needlerm to comment on the anxious and sleepless nights parsed by thousands of mothers during the painful period of the teething of infanta. Every day brings to an untimely grave hundreds of Infanta whose lives might have been saved by the use of the simple Necklet. In addition to the reliet from pain afforded by the Necklet during the period of dentitiou, by its nerve-giving force It. wards off and prevents Measles, Whooping Oough, Scarlet Fever,. Group, and Chicken Pox, thus relieving childhood of its martyrdom, and gladdening the heart of every mother who invokes its aid, Dr Kursteinor has appointed Messrs OONROD & CO., Auokland, his sole agents in New Zealand for the sale of theee Necklets, from *hom only they can be obtained. Tho price has been placed at the very lowest possible point, point, barely covering the cost of importation, and is within the reach of all, as one Necklet will last » lifo time. Aside from its many virtues as a remedial and preventive agent, the Necklet i a handsome omanieat, and will bo Bont free on receipt of One Pound, by postn note, money order, or registered letter.
