AN INEXPRESSIBLE BOON TO MOTHERS. Dr Auguste Kursteiner's 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 the Electrlo Neoklet before the New Zealand pnbllo the discoverer and proprietor begs to draw Special attention' to the fact that the material surround- ing the inner chain of metallio substanoes is impregnated with a chemioal solution, harmless In itself, an,i yet containing tltanio powers, which generate a continuous light current of galvanism, and the Neoklet In consequence contains ail the virtues of a miniature battery, and is therefore not a useless article like so many of the so-oalled eleotrlo appliances, whioh cannot possibly prodnoe any good results, as they are Incomplete m the most essential requirements, and cannot generate galvanism nor produoe 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 Auguste Eursteiner, 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 dlioovery and Invention of these Necklets is announced by Dr Kurstelner 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, those Necklets have been uaod 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 moit eminent physicians m their daily practice. It Is needless to comment on the anxious and sleepless nights pawed 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 during the period of dentitiou, by its nerve giving force It wards off and prevents Measles, Whooping Oough, Scarlet Fever, Croup, and Ohioken Pox, thus relieving childhood of its martyrdom, and gladdening the heart of every mother who Invokes its aid, Dr Kursteiner has appointed Messrs OONROD & CO., Auokland, bis sole agents m New Zealand for the sale of these Necklets, from *horn 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, a* 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/ or registered letter.

No Farmer valuing Clean deed can *ft to go without a RACINE FAN MILL. Practical Farmers have pronounced it the Best— read TESTIMONIALS below. While it has capacity to Glean from 60 to SO bushels per horn*. No. 1 FARM MILL Is Bft Sin over all, nnd is fnrnished with Wheat Enrdle, one Wheat Screen anG- with side epont, ene Barley Bieve, anone Bieve. Sicrea for other purposes nrni and charged for aB extras. . F. FJBRSIMAN; FFERBIMAN would coll yonr attention • to this Improved Farm Fanning Mill whici combines all the advantages of the various Milln now m ÜBe, and also the follow* ing important and greatly needed Improve* mento :— First.— ln the width of the Mill, it being wider than most Farm Mills of similar size, thereby increasing the cleaning capacity to a large extent. bscoHD.— The improved plan of hanging th shoe noon strong strap-hinged hangers, thn preventing constant breakage. Third.— ld themafctexrf fastening the drum ha bead to the posts bj means of a castiron lorf circle, and secured to the pcata by aorewa (instead of wooden cleats morticed into posts and held by wooden keys), adding increased strength and dnrabilicy to the Mill. Fourth. — The great advantage of raising or lowering the slide m the Hopper means of a screw. The irons are of the most approved the wheel, pinion, and shake irons being ■trong. The gearing is all placed on the In* side of the mill, out of the way. The bearing 1b formed by the hub 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 aoparating all kinds of grain, we guarantee thie Mill to be equal to, and m fact superior, m all respect* , to any now hi üb«. The fan with wind boards are so ar- ranged that the wind strikes the hurdle m auch a manner as to blow all foul stuff and light grain over the hurdle. The side epont delivers the No 1 train at the Bide, and the No 2 grain at the front of the Mill. The grader can be so adjusted as to separate and deliver through the side apont 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 wheati No Farmer or Deale? should be without one as they are m valuable to all who wish to market their seed m good condition, and thus save the heavy deductions usually made for impurities and foul stuff, and also the extra freight charges and coßt of cleaning. They also save time, and by the thorough and com- plete work which can be accomplished with them, soon repay the cost incurred m their purchase. To Farmers raising large quantities of Grain, or See ib, we would recommend the No 2 Ware- house Mill, as specially adapted for their uaa, as (be great saving of time will compensate for the difference m the first cost. They can be run by hand as easily a* a Farm Size, although constructed much heavier, and made more durable. Be guided by experience of others and order a "Racine Mill." You don'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 splendid job. A neighbor borrowed mine to run through come oaty wheat: he was highly pleased with ths job •they made. — William Blaf b, Hillfort NEVER SAW ITS EQUAL. I have only used the " Racine " Mill, as yet, for dressing oats, wheat, and grass seed. It hu.l given me great satisfaction, I have never seen its equal for grading wheat for seed, and I have seen and helped io work a good many. Wiimam Brook, Church Hill. Waiwera. COMPLIMENTARY. I am very much pleased with it, — Johw Camerok, SwUt Creek, Kelso. COULD NOT HAVE A BETTER CHARACTER. I have given the '• Racine " Warehouse Fan Mill a gooi trial, and it giveß every sa»ista«- t'on, I consider it » first-rate article. It deanß and grades grain rapidly and well, is strong, werks smoothly, and will, I think, prove durable. It iB much Superior to any other machine of the kind I have ever seen.— 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 Bay that it is all that it claims to be. In fact, it is a long way the best machine of the kind I have ever seen. With a larger assortment of riddles, I believe it will dress m a superior manner any kind seeds.— William Littl^ohit, Waiwera WOULD *»OT LIKE TO WANT ONE NOW— NO ONE SHOULD. I can confidently recommend the " Racine Fanners t« do their work well, and witK extreme facility. I would not by any means like to want one now, and I think no farmer ■hould.— David Mackenzib, Waiwera.
