Business SToShai ■ _ AN INEXPRESSIBLE BOON TO MOTHERS, Dr Auguste Kursteiner's •ELECTRO GALVANIC TEETHING NECKLET . Endorsed by the Medical Faculty of Europe, , And pronounced by al Leacllng Physicians The Greatest Discovery of the Age IN placing the Electrio 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 ohain of metallic substances is impregnated with a chemical solution, harmless m itself, and yet containing titanic roverß, which generate a continuous light current of galvanism, and the Necklet m consequence contains ail the virtues of a minlatnre battery , and {b therefore not a useless artiole like so many of the so-called eleotrio appliances, which cannot possibly produce any good results, as they are incomplete m the most essential requirements, and cannot generate galvanism nor produce galvanic effects, This Neoklet is the outcome . of a long-continued series of investigating experiments by that well-known and eminent scientist and specialist Dr Aaguste Kursteiner, who is the highest Europesn authority on all diseases of women and children The Lanoet, the -leading medical journal of the world, says :— •• The fact that the discovery and invention of these Neckletß is announced by Dr Kursteiner is a sufficient guarantee that a means has at lest beon 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 U3ed for the last five years with the moat Wonderful Success m Euglnnd, on the Continent, and m the United States, and are vow constantly prescribed by the rao&t eminent physicians In their daily practice. • It is needlees to comment on the anxious and sleepless nights passed by thousands of mothers duting 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 relief from pain afforded by the Necklet during the period of dentitiou, by Its nerve-givhg force it wards off and prevents Meaßleß, Whooping Cough, Scarlet Fever, Croup, and Chicken Pox, thus relieving childhood of its martyrdom, and gladdening tKe heiart of every mother who invokes its aid, Dr Kursteiner has appointed Messrs CONBOD & CO., Auckland, his sole agenta m New Zealand for the sale of these Necklets, from ffhom only they can be obtained. The pries has been placed at the very lotveßt possible point, point, barely covering the cost of importation, and is within the reach of all, an one Necklet will laßt a life time. , ■" Aside from its many virtues as a remedial Bnd preventive agent, the Necklet 1 a handsome ornament, and will be sent frea on reoeipt of One Found, by postn note, money order, or registered letter. No cheques received. Address- J. CONROD&OO., P.O. Box 4PB. Auckland, N.Z. DIPPING i3Ei£SON" 1887. TOMIINSON AND HAYWARD'S LINCOLN DIP, (POISONOUS), glycemTe dip (NON-POISONOUS), WILL MIX WITH COLD WATER AND NOT DISCOLOR THE WOOL. rpHESE DIPS used together m equal proportions gave the highest satisfaction last L Sea." as is evidenced by numerous Testimonials which can be seen at the 'Agents. The Qlyoerine Dip Ib the best ever introduced for Wool Growing purposes ; and the Linaorfa Dip is the moat durable m the Wool, and will keep sheep oleaa longer than any other yet known. The two Dips used together make a perfeot Dip, and keep any ordinary flook of sheep clean the whole Beacon. They combine highly nutritious and stimulating properties, as well as lasting qualities. They are certain killers of Ticks, their eggs ; Lice, 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 most lasting m ita effects. Testimonials prove that m every instance sheep dipped m the mixture have come m a shearing with perfectly clean healthy skins, entirely free from vermin and parasites, and the wool peculiarly soft and beautifully glossy.

STEWARD. EACINE FAN" FAEM MILL. THE TESTED FARM MILL. The Cheapest and Beet Fan Mill m the Market, No Farmer valuing Clean Seed can afford to go without a' RACINE FAN MILL. Practical Farmers have pronounced it the Best— read TESTIMONIAL below. While it has capacity to Clean rom 60 to 90 bushels per hour. No. 1 FARM MILL Is 2ft Bin over all, and is furnished with one Wheat Hurdle, one Wheat Screen and Grader with side spout, one. Barley Sieve, and one Oat Sieve. Bieves for other purposes furnished and charged for as extras. FFERRIMAN would call your atten- » tion to this Improved Farm Fanning Mill, which combines all the advantages of the vaiious Mills now m use, and aleo the following important and greatly needed Improve- ments:— First.— ln the width of the Mill, it being wider than most Faun Mills of similar sizo, thereby increasing the cleaning to a large extent. IBkoond. — The improved plan of hanging the shoe upon Btronpr strap-hinged hangers, thus preventing constant breakage. Third. — In the matter of .fastening the drum or head to the posts by means of a cast- iron half circle, and secured to the posts b? screws (instead of wooden cleats morticed into posts and held k ■*• wooden keys), adding increased strength and dv ability to the Mill. Fourth. — The great au 'antage of easily raising or lowering the slide «he Hopper by means of a screw. The irons are of the most approved pattern, the wheel, pinion, and shake irons being extra strong. The gearing 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 lone, 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 this Mill to b 3 equal to, and m fact superior, m all respects, to ony now m nse. The fan with wind boards are bo arranged that the wind strikes the hurdle m such a manner as to blow all foul stuff and light srain over the hurdle. The side spout delivers the No 1 grain at the side, and the No 2 grain at the front of the Mill. The grader can be so ad jested as to separate and deliver through the side spout a etreater or less portion of the beßt grain- The wheat screens and grader are so arranged, as to » fEectually 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* seed m good condition, and thus save the heavy deductions usually made for impurities nnd foul stnff , and also the extra freight charges and ccbu of cleaning. They nlao save time, and by tho thorough and complete work which can be accomplished with them, Boon repay tho cost incurred m their purchase. To Farmeis raiting large quantities , of Grain, or Seeds, we would recommend the No 2 Warehouse Mill, as specially adapted for their nse, as the great saving of time will compensate for the difference m the fiistcost. They can be *un by hand as easily as a Farm Size, although constructed much heavier, and made more durable. Be g aided by the experience of others and order a "Racine" Mill." You dou't want a better record than it has. Bead. MADE A SPLENDID JOB. I put -some bags of wheat through last spring , they made a ap'endid job. A neigh- bour borrowed mine to run through some oaty wheat : he was highly pleased with the job they made. — William Blakih, Hillfoot, Waiwera. NEVER SAW ITS EQUAL; I have only used the " Bacine " Mill, as yet, for dressing oats, wheat, and grass seed . ItJ has given me great satisfaction. I have never ) Been its equal for grading wheat for eeed, 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, Hwlft Greek, Kclab. COULD NOT HAVE A BETTER CHARACTER. I have given the •' Racine" Warehouse Fan Mill a good trial, and it gives every satiafac' tion. I consider it a fhst-rato article. It cleanß ard grades grain, rapidly and well, is strong, works smoothly, an<i will, I think, prove durable. It is much superior to ony other machine of the kind I have ever Been. — F. W Mackenzie (the Captain), Pomahaka. BEST MACHINE OF THE KIND I HAVE EVER SEEN. I have tried it with wheat, oats, and turnip seed. I can confidently say that it is all that it cloims to be. In fact, it is a Jong way the best machino of the kind I have ever B«en. With a larger assortment of riddles, I believe it will dres* m a superior manner any kind of seeds.— William Littlejuhn, Waiwera. WOULD NOT LIKE TO WANT ONE NOW— NO ONE SHOULD. I can confidently recommend the "Bacine" Fanners to do their work well, ana with extreme facility. I would not by any means like to want one now, and I think no farm© should. — David Mackenzie, Waiwera.
