AOTCNT ASRBTTRTO^ AN INEXPRESSIBLE BOON TO MOTHERS. Dr Auguste Kur^teiner's ELECTRO GALVANIC TEETHING NECKLET, Endowed by the Medical Faculty of Europe, And pronounced by all Leading Physicians The Greai-o^u^iscovery of the Age ! IN placing the Electric Necklet before the New Zealand public the diecovarer and proprietor begß to draw Special attention to the fact that the material surround- ing the inner chain of metallic substances is impregnated with a chemical solution, . harmless m itself, and yet containing tlranio \ owero, which generate a continuous light current of galvanism, and the Necklet m consequence contains ail the virtues of a miniature battery, and is therefore not a useless artiole like an many of the so-called electric appliances, which cannot possibly produce any good results, aa they are incomplete In the most essential requirements, and cannot generate galvanism nor produce galvanic effects. This Necklet ia the outcome of a long-continued serleß of investigating ■ ( experiments by that well-known and eminent scientist and specialist, Dr Anguste Kursteiner, who is the highest Europesn authority on all diseases of women and children The Lancet, the leading medical jonrnal of the world, says : — " The fact that the discovery an 'l invention of Jthese Necklets is announced by Dr Kursteiner is a sufficient guarantee that a means has at last been discovered which will save the > lives of millions of children, and relieve the anxiety of many mothers." i Although new to New Zealand, these Necklets have been used for the last five years with the moat Wonderful Success m England, on the Continent, and m the ' United States, and are aow constantly prescribed by the most eminent physicians In ; their daily practice. It is needless to comment on the anxious and sleepless nights parsed by • thousands of mothers during the painful period of the teething of Infants. Every 1 , day brings to an untimely grave hundreds of infants whose lives might have been I Bayed by the uae of the simple Necklet. ! In addition to the relief from pain afforded by tjhe Necklet during the period 1 of dentitiou, by Ub nerve-giving force it wards off and prevents Measles, Whooping Cough, Scarlet Fever, Crcup, and Chicken Pox, thus relieving childhood of its martyrdom, and gladdening the heart of every mother who invokes its aid, Dr Kursteiner has appointed Messrs CONTCOD ft. CO., Auckland, his sole ' agenta m New Zealand for the sale of these Necklets, from vrhom only • they can he obtained. The price has been placed at the very lowest possible point, • point, barely cnverin^ the coßt of importation, and is within the reach of all, as one . Necklet will last a life time. [ Aside from its many virtues ai a remedial and preventive agent, the Necklet i 5 a handsome ornament, and will be sent free on receipt of One Pound, by posta r note, money order, or registered letter. No cheques received. r Addresß-J CONROD&GO., 1 P.O. Box 408. Auckland, N.Z. !/•■ I 'VWw M J\ N.Z INDUSTRIAL GAZETTE ' IVK t\ O■* 1 1 1 tf^ O tf* M i\\ m.
