AN INEXPRESSIBLE BOON TO MOTHERS, Dr Auguste Kureteiner's ■■;■■'. ELECTRO GALVANIC TEETHISG NECKLET Endorsed by the Medical Faculty of Europe, And pronounced by al \ Leading Physicians t The Greatest Discovery of the Age ri. ■ IN placing the Electric Neokltst before the New Zealand public the dUooverei and proprietor bege to draw Special attention to the fact that the material su-Tound- tng the inner ohain o? caetallio sobetances Is impregnated with a obemical solution, harmless In itself, an.l yet containing titanic powers, whloh generate a continuous light onrrent of galvanism, and the Necklet m consequence contains all the vlrtuei of * miniature battery , and is therefore not a useless article liko so many of the so-called eleotrlo appliances, which cannot possibly produce any good results, as they are looomplete m the most essentltl requirements, and cannot generate galvanism nor produce gairanlo effeots. This Neoklet Is the outcome of a long-continued series of Investigating experiments by that well-know.n , 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 : — " The fact that the discovery and invention of these Necklets Is annonnced by Dr Kurstelner Is a snffiolent 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, ' 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 physicians In their dally practice. It la 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 Neoklet. In addition to the relief from pain afforded by the Necklet daring tho period of dentition, by its nerve glvi-g force it wards off and prevents Measles, Whooping Cough, Sqarlet Fever, Croup, and Chicken Pox, thus relieving childhood of its martyrdom, 'and gladdening the heart of every mother who Invokes Its aid, Dr Kurstelner has appointed Messrs CONROD & CO., Auckland, bis sole agents m New Zealand for the sale of these Neoklets, from #horn only they oan be obtained. Tha price has been plaoed at tha very lowest possible point, point, barely covering the cost of Importation, and Is within the reaoh of all, H one Neoklet will last a life time. 1 Aside from Its many virtues as a remedial and preventive agent, the Necklet 1 a handsome ornament, and will be sent 'free on receipt of One Pound, by posta vote, money order, or registered letter. No cheques received. - Address— J. CONROD & CO., P.O. Box 408, Auckland, N.Z. 11 1 ■■ 1 1 1 1 m 1 .ii. • ■ ' 1 1 1 1 *-^t ~ — ■ — m — n — — -i ■ — W.

FFERBIMAN would call your attention 0 . to this Improved Farm Fanning Mill whicb combines all the advantages of the vanous Mills now m ust, and also the follow- ing important and greatly needed Improve- ments : — Fibbt.— ln the width of the Mill, it being wider tbah moot Farm Mills of similar size, thereby increasing the cleaning capacity to a large extent. Bkcokd.— The improved plan of hanging th shoe upon strong strap*hinged hangers, thu preventing constant breakage. Third,— ln tbemaiterrf fastening the drum ha head to the posts bj means of a castiron lorf circle, and secured to the posts by eorewa. (instead of wooden cleats morticed into posts > and held by wooden keys), adding increased strength and durability to the Mill. Fourth.— The great advantage of raising or lowering the slide m the Hopper means of a screw. The irons we of the most approved the wheel, pinion, and shake irona being strong. Tne gearing is all placed on the in* side of the mill, out of the woy. The bearing is formed by the hub of the large wheel run- ning m a thimble or box, three inches long, of Chilled Iron and extending through the posts, giving it a steady and easy motion. For cleaning and separating all kinds of grain, we guarantee thie Mill to be equal to, and m fact superior, m all reapecta, to any now , m use. The fan with wind boards are so ar« ' ranged tbat the wind strikes the hurdle m snoh a manner as to blow all fcul stuff and light grain over the hurdle . The side Bpont delivers the No 1 train at the side, and the No 2 grain at the front of the Mill. The grader can be so adjusted as to separate and deliver through the side spout a greater or less portion of the beet grain. Th. wheat screens and grader are so arranged as to effectually take out cockle from No 1 and No 2 wheat. No Farmer or Dealer should be without one sb they are m ralnable to all who wish to market their seed m good condition, and thus save the heavy deductions usually made tor impurities and foul stuff, and also the extra freight charges and cost of cleaning. They also save time, and by the thorough and com- plete work which con be accomplished with them, poon repay the cost incurred m their purchase. To Farmers raising large quantities of Grain, or Bee s, we would recommend the No 2 Ware- house Mill, aB specially adapted for their use, as the great saving of time will compensate for the difference m the first cost. Th.y can be run by hand as easily at a Farm Size, although constructed much heavier, and made more durable. Be guided by experience of others and order a "Radne Mill." You don't want a better record than it has, Read. 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 j he was highly pleasea with the job they made. — William Blaf b, Hiluort Waiwera. NEVER SAW ITS EQuAL. I have only used the " Racine " Mill, oa 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 have eeen and helped t.e work a good many. —William Brook, Church Hill. Waiwera, COMPLIMENTARY. I am very much pleased with it, — JOHir Cambrow, BwU t Creek, Kelso. COULD NOT BAYE A BETTER CHARACTER. ' I have given the •' Racine " Warehouse Fan Mill a good trial, and it gives every sa*isiac- ton. I consider it » first-rate article, It cleans and grades grain rapidly and well, is strong, works smoothly , and will, I think, provt durable. It iB much Superior to any other machine of the kind I have ever seen.— F. W. Mackenzie (the Captain), Potaahaka, BEST MACHINE OF THE KIND I HAVE EVER SEEN. I have tried it with wheat, oats, and turnip seed ■ X can confidently say that it iB all that it claims to be. In fact, it is a long way the best machine of the kind I have ever seen. With a larger assortment of riddles, I believe it will dress m a superior manner any kind eeeds.— William Littlbjohit, Waiwera WOULD *QT LIKE TO WANT ONE NOW— NO ONE BHOTJLD. I can confidently recommend the " Racine Fanners to do their work well, and with extreme facility. I would not by any means like to want one now, and I think no farmer should — David Mao_.bn_.ib, Waiwera.
