And proitpnnoed by all " • Leading Physicians The Greatest Discovery of the Age IN placing the Electric Necklet before the New Zealand public 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 with a chemical solution, harmless m itself, and yet containing titanic rovrers, 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 so many of the co-called eleotrio appliances, which cannot posßJbly produoe any good resnlts, as they are incomplete m the most essential requirements, and cannot generate galvanism nor produoe gaivanlo effects. This Neoklet Is the outcome of a long-continued series of investigating experiments by that well-known and eminent scientist and specialist; Dr Aoguste Kursteiner, who is the highest European authority on all diseases of women and children The Lancet, the leading medical journal of the world, says : — " The fact that the discovery and Invention of these Necklets is announced by Dr Kursteiner is a sufficient guarantee that a meanß 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 ÜBed for the last five years with the moßt Wonderful Success m England, on the Continent, and m the United States, and are now constantly prescribed by the moet eminent physicians m their daily practice. It is needless to comment on the anxious and sleepless nights parsed by thousands of mothers during the pafnful 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 simple Neoklet. In addition to the relief from pain afforded by the Necklet during the period of dentitiou, by its nerve-giving force it wards off and prevents Measles, Whooping Cough, Scarlet Fever, Croup, and Ohio-en. Pox, thus relieving childhood of its martyrdom, and gladdening the heart of every mother who invokes its aid, Dr Kursteiner has appointed Meswß CONROD <v CO., Auokland, bis sole agents m New Zealand for the sole of theee Neoklets, from *horn only they can be obtained. 'The price has been placed at the very lowest possible point, point, barely coveripx the cost of importation, and is within the reaoh of all, as one Neoklet will last a life time. Aside from its many virtues as a remedial and preventive agent, the Neoklet 1 a handsome ornament, and will be sent free on receipt: of One Pound, by poota < note, money ordor, or registered letter.
