This Neoklet 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 European authority on all diseases ol women and children The Lanoet, the leading medioal journal of the world, says : — '• The fact thai 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 relievo the anxiety of many mothers. ' ' Although new to New Zealand, these Necklets have been used for tho last five yearß with the moot Wonderful Success m England, on tho Continent, and m the United States, and are now constantly prescribed by the raoet eminent physicians In their daily practice. ; •■■' It is needless to comment on tho 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 whose lives might have been saved by the use of the simple Necklet. In addition to the relief from pain afforded by the Necklet dnring the period of dentition, by its norve-gfvrg force it wards off and prevents Measles, Whooping Oough, Scarlet Fever, Group, and ChiokeQ Pox, thus relieving childhood of its martyrdom, and gladdening the heart of every mother who Invokes its aid, Dr Kursteiner has appointed Mesers CONROD & CO., Auckland, bis sole agents m New Zealand for the sale- of tbeee Neckletß, from vrhom only they can be obtained. The price has been placed at th 6 very lowest possible point, point, bsrely covering the cost of importation, and is within the reach of all, as one Neoklet will last a life time. Aside from its many virtues as a remedial and preventive agent, the Neoklet i a handsome ornament, and will be sent free on receipt of One Pound, by postn note, money order, or registered letter.

i 1 t EACINE FANTABM MILI THE TESTED FARM MILL. 1 The Cheapest »nd Beßt Fnn'.Mill in>he , Marketi . No Farmer valuing Clean Seed can. .afford t go without a r RACINE FAN MILL. r r Practical Farmers have pronounced it th Best-read TESTIMONIAL below. While it Las capacity to Clean rom 60 V 90 bushels per hour. No. 1 FARM ILL Is 2ft Sin over all, and is furnished with on< Wheat Hurdle, one Wheat Screen and Grade; j with side spout, one Barley Sieve, and one Oa] Sieve. Bieves for other purposes furnisuet [ and charged for as extras. FERRIMANi I Til FERRIMAN would call your atteu 1 Jj • tion to this Improved Farm Fanning Mill, which combines all the advantages of ths ' various Mills now m use, and abo the following » important and greatly needed lmprove- "ifmsTV- In the width of the Mill, it being wider than most Farm Mills of similar Bizt, f thereby increasing the cleaning capacity to a large extent. . , bEOOND.— The improved plan of hanging tne shoe upon strong Btrap-binged hangera, thuE ■ preventing constant breakage. • Third.— ln the matter of fastening the drum or head to the posts by meanß of a cast- iron half circle, and secured to the posts by Bcrewa (instead of wooden cleats morticed into posts acd held k v wooden keys), adding increased strength and du.sbility to the Mill. Fourth. — The great au -antage of easily raißing or lowering the Blide . «he Hopper by means of a screw. The ironß are of the moat approved pattern, the wheel, pinion, and shake irons being extra * 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 Bteady 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 use. The fan with wind boards are bo arranged that the wind Btiikeß the hurdle m Buch a manner as to blow all foul stuff and light urain over the hurdle. The side apont delivers the No 1 grain at the side, and the No 2 giain at the front of the Mill. The grader can be so adjusted as to separate and deliver through the side spout a greater 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 murket thei- seed m good condition, and thus cave the heavy deductions usnally made for imptiritiM imd W staff, and alad the &tbr& freight charges and ccst 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 FarmeJß raieing large quantities of Grain, or Seeds, we would recommend the No 2 Warehouse Mill, as specially adapted for their use, as the great caving of time wll* compensate for the difference m the first cost. They can be run by hand as easily as a Farm Size, although constructed much heavier, and made more durable; .-, . Be gaided by the experience of others and order a ."Racine'Mill." You dou'fc want a better record than it has. Read. MA.UB A SPLENDID JOB, I put some 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 pleased with the ]ob they made. — William BL akib, Hillfoot, &lWer NEVER SAW ITS EQUAL; I have only used the " Sacme " Mill, as yet, for dressing oata, wheat, and grass seed. It has given me great satisfaction. I have never seen its equal for grading wheat for seed, and I have seen and helped to work a good many. —William Buook, Church Hill, Waiwera. OUMPLIMENTAbtY. I am very much pleased with it.— JOHK Cameron, fewif t Creek, Kelso. CO OLD NOT HAVE A BETTER CHARACTER. I have given the •' Racine " Warehouss Fan Mill a good trial, and it gives every satisfac- tion. I consider it a fust-rate article. It cleans and grades grain rapidly and well, ie strong, works smoothly, and will, I think, prove durable. It is much superior to ony other machine of the kind I have ever seen. — F. W MACKHNZiB (the Captain), Pomahuka. BEST MACHINE OF THE KIND I HAVE EVER SEEN. I have tried it with wheat, oat^, and turnip seed. I can confidently Bay that it is all that it claims lo be. In fact, it is a long way the best machine of the kind I have ever Been. With a larger assortment of riddles, I believe it will dress m a superior manner any kind oi seeds.— William Littlejuhn, Waiwera. WOULD NOT LIKE TO WANT ONE NOW-NO ONE SHOULD. I can confidently lecommend the " Racine ' Fanners, to do their work well, ana with extreme facility. I would not by any mean! like to want one now, and I think no farme. should.— Dav/d Mackenzie, Waiwera.
