Dr Augaste KurFteiner's • ELECTRO GALVANIC TEETHING NECKLET, ■ ■'■■- ••••-. ■ ;• .. . .;.'":■ En*oWL v by the Wfedlcal Faculty of Europe, , ; ' And pronounced by all . ; Leading Physicians — -; , The Greatest Discovery of the Age IN placing the Electrio Necklet before the New Zealand pnblio the discoverer and proprietor begs to draw Special attention to the faot that the material sutround- i ng the inner chain of metalllo Bubßtancea is impregnatpd.with a chemioal solution, harmless m itself, and yet containing titanic rowera,- whloh generate a continuous light enrrent of galvanism, and the Necklet In consequence contains all the Virtues of a minia»ura battery, and is therefore not a useless article like so many of the so-called eleotrlo appliances, which carfbot possibly produce any good results, as they are incomplete In the most essential requirements, and cannot generate galvanism nor produce galvanio effects. This Necklet is the outcome of a loDg-oontlnued series of investigating ' r experiments by that well-known and eminent scientist and specialist, De Augaste Kurstelner, who is the higheßb Europesn authority on all diseases of women and children The Lancet, the leading medical journal of the world, says :—" The feet that the discovery and invention of these Necklets is announced by Dr Kursteiner Is a sufficient guarantee that a means has at last been 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 used for the last five j years with the most Wonderful Sucoeas In England, on the Continent, and m the , United States, and are now constantly prescribed by the most eminent physicians m their dally, practice. It Is 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 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 childhood of its martyrdom, and gladdening the heart of every mother who Invokes its aid, Dr Kursteiner has appointed Messrs CONROD & CO., Auckland, his able agents m New Zealand for the sale of these Necklets, from «rhom only [ they oan be obtained. The price has been placed at the very lowest possible point, point, barely covering the cost of importation, and is within the reaoh of all, as one Necklet will laßt a life time. » > Aside from its many virtues as a remedial and preventive agent, the Necklet i ■ a handsome ornament, and will be sent free on receipt of One Pound, by posta I note, money order, or registered letter. No cheques received. [ Address— J CONROD & CO., P.O. Box 408, Auckland, N.Z. ii ■!•■ jL^iYWw 'M #V N.Z.
