Busine3B Notices ' AN INEXPRESSIBLE BOON TO MOTHERS, Dr Auguste Kurpteiner's ELECTRO GALVANIC TEETHING NECKLET? Endorsed by the Medical Faculty of Europe, And pronounced by al Leading Physicians The Greatest Discovery of tKe Age TN plaoing the Electrlo Necklet before the New Zealand pnbllc the discoverer and _L 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 powers, whioh generate a continuoui light current of galvanism, and the Necklet m consequence contains ail the virtues oi a miniature battery, and is therefore not a useless artfole like bo many of the so-called eleotrlo appliances, which cannot possibly, produce any good results, as they are incomplete m the moßt essential requirements, and cannot generate galvanism noi produce gaivanio effects. , ; . .-♦ ■• This Necklet is the outcome of a long-continued series of Investigating experiments by that well-known and eminent scientist and specialist, Di Aaguste Kursteiner, who is the highest Europesn authority on all diseases oi women and children - The Lancet, the leading medical journal of the world, says : — " The fact thai the discovery and Invention of these Necklets is announced by Dr Kuretelner is a sufficient guarantee that a means haß at last been discovered whioh 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 m England, on the Continent, and m the United States, and are now constantly prescribed by the most eminent physicians In their daily practice. . It is needless to comment on the anxious and sleepless nights paeaed by thousands of mothers during the painful period of the teething of infants ; Every day brings to an untimely' grave hundreds of infants wboße lives might have been saved by the use of the simple Necklet. In addition to the relict from patn afforded by the Necklet during the period of dentition, by Its nerve-glvi^g force It wards off and prevents Meaolee, Whooping Oough, Scarlet Fever, Group, and Chicken Pox, thus relieving childhood of its martyrdom, and gladdening tho heart of every mother who invokes Its aid, Dr Kursteiner has appointed Messrs CONROD & CO., Auckland, his sole agents m New Zealand for the sale of these Necklets, from ffhom only they can be obtained. The price has been placed at the very lowest possible point, point, bsrely covering the cost of importation,; and is within the reaoh of all, as one Necklet will last a life time. ' . Aside from itß many virtues aa a remedial and preventive agent, the Necklet i a handsome ornament, and will be sent free on receipt of One Pound, by posta note, money order, or registered letter. No cheques received. -'- • - ■ . , Address— J.. CONROD & CO., ' P.O. Box 408. Auokland, N.Z. DIPPINcT'SaSON,' 1887.

The Glycerine Dip is the best ever introduced for Wool Growing purposes ; and the Lincoln Dip is the moat durable In the Wool, and will keep sheep olean longer than any other yet known. The two Dips vised together make a perfect Dip, and keep any ordinary flook of sheep clean the whole season. They combine highly nutritious and stimulating properties, as well as lasting qualities. They are certain killers of Tioks, their eggs ; L!oe, their ova ; and all parasites infesting the skins of Sheep. For very lousy and filthy longwool flocks, the LINCOLN DIP ALONE is recom- mended, being the moßt lasting In its effects.

I RACINE Fa/fAEM MILL. THE TESTED FARM MILL. The Cheapest and Best Fan.Mill m the Market* No Farmer valning Clean Beed can [afford to go without a RACINE FAN MILL. Practical Farmers have pronounced it the Best— read TESTIMONIAL helow. While it has capacity to Clean rom 60 to 90 bushelß per hour. Ho. 1 FARM MILL Is 2ft Sin over all, and is furnished with one Wheat Hurdle, one Wheat Screen and Grader with side spout, one Barley Sieve, and one Oat Sieve. Sieves for other purposes furnished; and charged for as extras. r FBRRmAN< FFERRIMAN would call your atten- • tion to this Improved Farm Fanning Mill, which combines all the advantages of the variouß Mills now m use, and also the following important and greatly needed Improve- ments :— First.— ln the width of the Mill, it being wider than most Farm MUIb of Bimilar siz«, thereby increasing the cleaning capacity to a large extent. . bEOOND.— The improved plan of hanging tne shoe upon strong etrap-hinged hangerß, thus preventing constant breakage. Third.— ln the matter of fastening the drum or head to the poßts by means of a cast- iron half circle, and secured to the poste by screws (instead of wooden cleats morticed into postß and held k * wooden keja), adding increased strength and dv- ability to the Mill. Fourth.— lho great au'antage of easily raising or lowering the slide . Hne Hepper by means of a screw. The ironß are of the most approved pattern, the wheel, pinion, and Bbake irons being extra strong. The geaiing is all placed on the inside of the Mill, out of the way. The bearing is formed by the hub of the large wheel running m 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 kinds of grain, we guarantee this Mill to be equal to, and m fact superior, m all respects, to any now m übo. The fan witli wind boards are so arranged that the wind strikes the hurdle m such a manner as to blow all foul stuff and light (?rain over the hurdl9. The Bide spout delivers the No 1 grain at the aide, and the No 2 grain at the front of the Mill. The grader can be so adjusted as to separate and deliver through the Bide spout a theater or less portion of the best grain- The 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 as they are invaluable to all who wish to market thei r seed m good condition, and thus save the heavy deductions usually made for impurities ond foul stuff, and also the extra freight charges and ccsc of cleaning. They also save time, and by the thorough and complete work which can be accomplished with them, soon repay the cost incurred m their purchase. To Farmers raising large quantities of Grain, or Seeds, we would recommend the No 2 Warehouse Mill, as specially adapted for their use, as the great saving of time win compensate for thedifferenca m the first cost. They can ba *Dn by hand as easily as a Farm Size, although constructed much heavier, and made more durable. iia a aided l>v the c*p«rietio» nf ntti»TH atm order a "Racino Mill. 11 Yon don't want a better record than it has. Read, MADE A SPLENDID JOB. I put Borne bags of Wheat_ through last spring , they made a splendid job. A neigh- bour borrowed mine to run through some oaty wheat : he was highly pleaßed with the job they mad 6. — William Blakib, Hillfoot, NEVER SAW ITS EQUAL: I have only used the " Bacine " Mill, as yet, for dressing oats, wheat, and graßß seed . It haß given me great satisfaction. I have never Been itß equal for grading wheat for seed, and I have seen and helped to work a good many. —William Brook, Church Hill, Waiwera. COMPLIMENTARY. I am very much pleased with it, — JOHN Cameron, Swift. Creek, Kelso. CODLD NOT HAVE A BETTER CHARACTER. I have given the •' Ktcine " Warehouse Fan Mill a good trial, and it giveß every satisfac- tion. I consider it a fust-rate article. It cleans and grades grain rapidly and well, is strong, works smoothly, and will,! think, prove durable. It is much superior to ony other machine of the kind I have ever seen.— F. W ;Maokbnzib (the Captain), Pomahuka. BEST MACHINE OF THE KIND I HAVE EVJJiR SEEN. ; I have tried it with wheat, oats, and turnip Beed. I can confidently say thatit is all that it cloimß to be. In fact, it is a long way the best machine of the kind I have ever sfen. With a larger assortment of riddles, I believe it will dress m a superior manner any kind of Beedt,. — William Littlejohn, Waiwera. WOULD NOT LIKE TO WANT ONE NOW— NO ONE SHOULD. I can confidently recommend the " Racine " Fannerß to do their work well, ana with extreme facility. I would not by any means like to want one now, and I think no farme. should. — David Mackenzie, Waiwera.
