Dr Auguste Kurpteiner's ELECTRO GALVANIC TEETHING NECKLET, Endorsed by the Medical Faculty of Europe, And pronounced by all Leading Physicians The Greatest Discovery of the Age IN placing the Electric Necklet before the New Zealand pnblic the discoverer and proprietor begs to draw Special attention to the fact that the material surround- ing the iDner chain of metallic aubatancca ia Impregnated with a chemical solution, harmless m itself, and yet containing titanic r overs, which generate a continuous light current of galvanism, and the Necklet m consequence contains ail the virtues of a miniature battery, and ia therefore not* useless artiole like so many of the eo-oalled electric appliances, which cannot possibly produce any good results, as they are incomplete m the moßt essential requirements, and cannot generate galvanism nor produce galvanic effects, This Necklet is the outcome of a long-continued series of investigating experiments by that well-known and eminent scientist and specialist; Dr Auguate Kursteiner, 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 announced by Dr Kurstelner Is a sufficient guarantee that a means has at laßt been discovered whloh will save the lives of millions of ohildren, 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 m their daily practice. It is needless to comment on trie anxious and sleepless nights passed by thoueandß 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. In addition to the reller 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 Chicken Pox, thus relieving ohlldhood of its martyrdom, and gladdening the heart of every mother who invokes its aid, Dr Kursteiner has appointed Moßßrs CONROD & CO., Auckland, his sole agents m New Zealand for the sale of these Neckletß, from ffhom only they can be obtained. The price has been placed at the very lowest possible point, I point, barely covering the cost of importation, and is within the reaoh of all, aa one Necklet will last a life time. I 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 poita vote, money order, or registered letter. No cheques received. Address- J. OONROD&CO., P.O. Box 408, Auckland, N.Z. mHE PREMIER COLONIAL OOMPAN CANTERBURY BRANCH.
