AN INEXPRESSIBLE BOON TO MOTHERS. Dr Auguste Kursteiner's ELECTRO GALVANIC TEETHING NECKLET} Endorsed by the Medical Faculty of Europe, And pionotmced by al Leading Phyalcians The Greatest Discovery of the Age IN placing the Eleotrlo Necklet before the New Zealand pnbllc the discoverer »nd proprietor bees to draw Special attention to the fact that the material surronpd- ing the inner ohain of metallic substances 1b Impregnated with a cbemicall eolation, harmless m Itself, end yet containing titanic powers, which generate a, continuous light current of galvanism, and the Neoklet m ooneequence contains ail the ylrtnoß of a miniature battery, and is therefore not a useless article like bo many of the so-called eleotrlo appliancee, which cannot possibly produce any good resbltß, at they are incomplete m the moat essential reqairementß, and cannot generate galvanitim nor prodaoe gaivanio effeota. This Neoklot la the outcome of a long-continued series of Investigating experiments by that well-known and eminent scientist and specialist* Dr Aogaste Kurstefner, who is vhe highest European authority on all dlneaeei of women and children The Lancet, the leading medical jonrual of the world, Bays : — " The fact that the discovery and invention of these Necklets is announced by Dr Knratelner la 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. ' Although new to New Zealand, these Necklets have been used for the last five years with the most Wonderful Success In England, on the Continent, and m the United States, and are now constantly prescribed by the most eminent physician* In their dally 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 day brings to an untimely grave hundreds of Infants whose lives might have been saved by the use of the Blmple Necklet. In addition to the relief from pain afforded by the Necklet during the period of dentition, by its nerve giving force it wards off and prevents Measles, Whooping" Oough, Scarlet Fever, Group, and Chicken Fox, thuß relieving childhood of its martyrdom, and gladdening the heart of every mother who invokes its aid, Dr Kuratelner has appointed Mesßra CONROD & CO., Auckland, bis lole agents In New Zealand for the sale of theee Necklets, from vrhom only they can be obtained. The price has been placed at the very lowest possible point, point, barely covering the cobl of importation, and is within the reach of all, afl one Necklet will last a life time. Aside from its man? virtues as a remedial »nd preventive agent, the Necklet a handsome ornament, and will be Bent free on receipt of One Pound, by petto note, money order, or registered letter.
