ELECTRO GALVANIC TEETHING NECKLET - Endorsed by the Medical Faculty of Europe, And pronounced by al Leading Physicians The Greatest Discovery of the Age IN placing tho Electric Neoklet before the New Zealand pnbllc the discoverer and proprietor begß to draw Speoial attontion to the fact that the material Burround- ing the inner chain of metallic substances 1b impregnated with a chemical solution, harmless m ittelf, an.l yet containing tiianlo [overs, which generate a continuous light current of galvanism, and the Neoklet m consequence contains ail the virtuei of a miniature battery, and is therefore not a useless article liko so many of the so-called electric appliances, which cannot possibly produoe any good results, as they are incomplete m the moat essential requirements, and cannot generate galvanism nor produoe galvanic effects. This Necklet is the outcome of a long-continued Berles of investigating experiments by that well-known and eminent scientist and specialist, Dr Aaguste Kursteiner, who is <he highest Europesn authority on all diseases of women and children The Lanokt, the leading medical journal of the world, sayß : — " The faot that the discovery and invention of these ISeckiets is announced by Dr Kursteiner is a sufficient guavantee that a means has at last been discovered which will save the livoo of millions of children, and relieve the anxiety of many mothers. ' Although new to New Zealand, these Neckleta have been used for the last five years with tho moat Wonderful Success m England, on the Continont, and m the United States, and are now constantly prescribed by tho moat eminent physicians m their daily practice. It is needless to comment on the anxious and sleepless nights papsed by thousands of mothers during the painful period of the teething of Infanta. Every day brings to an untimely grave hundreds of Infants whoße Hvob might have been saved by the use of tho simple Neoklet. ■ In addition to the relief from pan afforded by the Necklet during the period of dentition, by its nerve giving force it wards off and prevents Measles, Whooping CoUgh, Scarlet Fever, Croup, and Chicken Pox, thus relieving childhood of its martyrdom, and gladdening the heart of every mother who invokes its aid, Dr Kursteiner has appointed Messrs CONROD <fc CO., Auckland, bis sole Rgents m Now Zealand for the oaie of theee Necklets, from *horn only they can be obtained. The price has been placed at the very lowest possible point, point, barely covering the coal of importation, and is within the reaoh of nil, as one Neoklet will last a life time. 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 posts note, money order, on registered letter. No cheques received. Address- J. CONROD & CO., P.O. Box 408, Auckland, N.Z. i > - W. PATCHING TENT, TARPAULIN, FLAG, AND HORSECLOTH MANUFACTURER.

No Farmer valuing Clean tseed enn afi lo co without a RACINE FAN MILL. ■ Practical Farmers have pronounced it thfc Beat— read TESTIMONIALS below. While it has capacity to Clean from GO to 90 bushels per hour.

Sieveß for other purpcßCß farms n<J charged foe as extra?. F. FEMIIMAN; FFERRIMA.IS would call your attflntion * to this Improved Farm Fanning Mill which combines all the advantages of tho various Mills now m ÜBe, and also the follow- ing important and greatly needed Improve- ments :— Firbt. — In the width of the Mill, it being wider thah most Farm Mills of similar dies, thereby increasing tho cleaning capacity to a large extent. BKOONn.~The improved plan of hanging th shoe upon strong strap-hinged hangers, thn preventing constant breakage. Third.— ld the matterr ! fastening the dram ha head to the po&ts b$ means of a caetiron lorf circle, and secured to the poste by screws (instead of wooden cleats morticed into potsta and held by wooden keys), adding increased strength and durability to the Mill. FOURTH. — Tho grent advantage of raising or lowering the slide m the Hopper means of a screw. The lions aio of the most approved the wheel, pinion, and shake irons being Btrong. The gearing iB all placed on the in* side of the mill, out of the way. Tho bearing 1b formed by the hnb 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 Boparating all kinds of grain, we guarantee thie Mill to be equal to, and m fact superior, m all respects, to any now m nee. The fan with wind boards are bo ar- ranged that the wind strikes the hurdle m such a manner as to blow all fcul stuff and light graiu over tho hurdle. The Bide Bpout delivers tho No 1 grain at tho side, and the No 2 grain at the front of the Mill. Tho grader can too so adjusted as to separate and deliver through tho side spout a greater or less portion of the best groin; The wheat Bcreens and grader are bo arranged ob to effectually take out cccklo from No 1 and No 2 wheati No Farmer or Dealer should bo without one os they oro inralnable to all who wish to market their seed m good condition, and thus savn the heavy deductions ÜBunlly made for impurities and foul stuff, and also the extra freight charges and coat of cleaning. They also save time, and by tho thorough and com- plete work which can be accomplished with them, poon repay the cost incurred m their purchase. To Farmers raising large quantities of Grain, or Beep, we would recommend the No 2 Ware- house Mill, as specially adapted for their nee, as the great saving of time will compeneato for the difference m the fiist cost. Thoy can be 1 ran hy hand as easily oa a Farm Size, although constructed mucli heavier, nnd made moro durable. Be guided by txperienco of others and order a "Bacine Mill." You don't want a better record than it has. Bead. MADE A SPLISNDID JOB. I pnt Borne bags of wheat through lust spring, they made a splendid job. A neighbor borrowed mine to run through Borne oaty wheat ; he was highly pleased with tho job they made. — William Jii.\r E, Hillfort Waiwera. NEVER SAW ITS EQJAL. 1 have only used the " Bacico " Mill, as yet, for dressing oats, wheat, and graßS seed.

I consider it » lirst-rato article. It dans and grades grain rapidly and well, is Btrong, works smoothly, and will, I think, prove durable. It is much Superior to any other machine of the kind I have ever Been. — F. W. Mackenzie (the Captain), Poroahaka. BEST MACHINE OF THE KltfD I HAVE EVER SEEN.
