AN INEXPRESSIBLE BOON TO MOTHERS. Dr Augnste Kursteiner's ELECTRO GALVANIC TEETHING NECKLET Endorsed by the Medical Faculty of Earope, And pronounced by al Leading Physicians The Greatest Discovery of the Age i IN placing the Electrlo Necklet before the New Zealand pnbllo the discoverer and proprietor begs to draw Bpoolal attention to the fact that the material snrronnd- Ing the Inner chain 0? metallic Babatancea is impregnated with a chemical solution, harmless in fteelf, and yet containing titanic fowerß, whloh generate a continuous light onrront of galvanism, and the Necklet in consequence contains ail the virtues of ft miniature battery, and is therefore not a ÜBelesa article like so many of the so-called electrlo appliances, whioh oannot possibly produce any good results, as they are incomplete in the most essential requirements, and cannot generate galvanism nor produoe galvanic effeotß. This Neoklet Is the outcome of a long-continued Berles of investigating experiments by that well-known and eminent scientist and specialist, Dr Aaguste Kursteinor, who is vhe Wgheßt Europesn authority on all diseases of women and children The Lanoet, the leading medical journal of the world, Bays : — " The foot that the discovery and invention of these Necklets Is announced by Dr Kurstelner is a sufficient guarantee that a means has at last been discovered whioh will aave the lives of millions of children, and relieve the anxiety of many mothers. ' Although new to New Zealand, these Necklets have boon used for the last five years with the roost Wonderful Succobs in England, on the Continent, and in the United States, and are uow constantly prescribed by the moßt eminent physicians In their daily practice. It 1b needless to comment on the anxious and sleepless nights passed 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 simple Necklet. ; '# /^ulnl^Vfts'^^ .of de "g°^ et y Fbvm-, Croup, and Chicken Pox, thus relieving childhood of its waifiyrbom, and gladdening the heart of every mother who invokes its aid, Dr Kurstelner has appointed Messrs CONROD & CO., Auckland, his sole agents in New Zealand for the Bale of these Necklets, from whom only they can be obtained. The price has been placed at the very loweßt possible point, point, barely covering the cost of importation, and is within the reach of all, an one Necklet 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 posta note, money order, or registered letter.

Sic-rco tor other purposes nrni and charged for as extras. F. FEREIMAN. FFERBIHAN wonld call yonr attention « to this Improved Farm Fanning Mill which combines all the advantages of the various Milta now in use, and also the follow- ing important and greatly needed Improve- ments :— First.— ln the width of the Mill, it being wider than most Farm Mills of similar size, thereby increasing the cleaning capacity to a large extent. feEOOND.— The improved plan of hanging th shoe upon strong strap- hinged hangers, thu l preventing constant breakage. Third.— ls the matterc 1 fastening the drum ha head to the po&ta fej moans of a caatiron orf circle, and secured to the posts by screws (instead of wooden cleats morticed into pouts and held by wooden keys), adding increased strength and durability to tho Mill. Foubth. — The great advantage of raißing or lowering the Blido in the Hopper means of a screw. The irons sio of the most approved the wheel, pinion, and shake irons being strong. The gearing is all placed on the in* side of the mill, ont of the way. The bearing is formed by the hub of the large wheel run- ning in a thimble or box, three inches long, of Chilled Iron and extending through the poets, giving it a steady and easy motion. For cleaning and separating all kiais of grain, we guarantee thie Mill to be equa^ £p, and in fact superior, in all respecte, to any >n«w in nee. The fan with wind boaTds are so ar* j ranged that the wind strikes the hurdle in en:h a manner as to blow all fcul stuff, and light grain over the hurdle. The side spout delivers the No 1 grain at the Bide, and the No 2 grain at the front of the Mill. The grader can be bo adjusted as to separate and deliver through the side spout a greater or leas portion of the best gram; The wheat screens and grader are so arranged as to effectually take ont cuckle from No 1 and No 2 wheati No Farmer or Dealer should be without one as they are inraluable to all who wish to market their Beed in good condition, and thus save the heavy deductions usually made for impurities and foul BtufE, and also the extra freight charges and cost of cleaning. They also save time, and by the thorough and com- plete work which can be accomplished with them, goon repay the cost incurred in their purchase. To Farmers raising large quantities of Grain, or See:;s, we would recommend tho No 2 Ware* house Mill, as specially adapted for their use, as the great saving of time will compensate for the difference in the fiißt cost. They can be run by hand as easily a* a Farm Size, although constructed much heavier, and made more durable. Be guided by experience of others and order a "Batine Mill." You d^n't want a better record than it haß. Bead. MADE A SPLENDID JOB. I put some bags of wheat through last spring, they made a splendid job. A neighbor borrowed mine to run through some oaty wheat: he was highly pleased with the job they made. ~ William Blaf b, Hillfort Waiwera. NEYEB SAW ITS EQ*)AL. I have only used the * Bactoe " Mill, as yet, for dressing oats, wheat, and grass seed. It has given me great satisfaction, I have never seen its equal for grading wheat for seed, and I hove seen and helped io work a good many. —William Brook, Church Hill, Waiwera. OOMPLIMBNTABY. I am very much pleased with it, — JOHN Oambbok, Swift Creek, Kelso. COULD NOT BAVE A BETTER CHARACTER. I have given the •' Racine " Warehouse Fan Mill a good trial, and it giveß every sa'ifltac- t'on. I consider it » first-rate article* It cl-ans and grades grain rapidly and well, ia strong, works smoothly, and will, I think, prove durable. It is much tswperior to any other machine of the kind I have ever seen. — F. W. Mackenzie) (the Captain), Poroahaka. BEST MACHINE OF THE KIND I HAVE EVER SEEN. I have tried it with wheat, oats, and turnip eeed I can confidently Bay that it is all that it claims to be. In fact, it iB a long way the beat machine of the kind I have ever seen. With a larger assortment of riddles, I believe it will dress in a superior manner any kind seeds.— William Littlejohit, Waiwera . WOULD ISOT LIKB TO WANT ONE HOW— NO ONE SHOULD, lean confidently recommend the " Racine Fanners to do their work well, and witK extreme facility. I would not by any means like to want one now, and I think no farmer should— David Mackenzie, Waiwera.
