Dr Auguste Kurpteiner'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 Electric Necklet before the New Zealand public the discoverer and proprietor begß to draw Special attention to the fact that the material surround- ing the inner ohain of metallic substances 1b impregnated with a chemical solution, harmless m itself, and yet containing titanic powers, which generate a continuous light current of galvanism, and the Necklet inconsequence contains ail the vlrtuei of a miniature battery, and 1b therefore not a uselees article like so many of the so-called electrio appliances, which cannot possibly produce any good results, sb they are incomplete m the moat essential requiraments, and cannot generate galvanism nor produce galvanic effects. This Necklet la the outcome of a long-continued series of Investigating experiments by that well-known and eminent scientist and specialist, Dc Anguste Kurßteiner, who is the highest European authority on all diseases of women and children The Lancet, the leading medical journal of the world, says :— -" The f«ct that the discovery and invention of theße Neckletß is announced by Dr Kurßteiner is a sufficient guarantee that a means has at laat been discovered which will save the lives of milUonß of children, snd relieve the anxiety of many mothers." Although new to New Zealand, these Necklets have been used for the last five years with the moot Wonderful Success m England, on the Continent, and m the United States, and are now constantly prescribed by the moat eminent physicians In their daily practice. It is needleea to comment on the anxious and sleepless nights parsed by thousands of mothers during the painful period of the teething of Infanta. Every day bringß to an untimely grave hundreds of infants whose lives might have been saved by the use of the Blmple Necklet. In addition to the relief from pain afforded by the Necklet during the period of dentition, by ita nerve-givi-g force it wardß off and prevents Measles, Whooping Cough, Scarlet Fever, Croup, and Chicken Pox, thus relieving childhood of its martyrdom, and gladdening U.e heart of every mother who Invokes its aid, Dr Kurßteiner has appointed Messrs CONROD «fe CO., Auckland, bis sole agents m New Zealand for the Bale of these Necklets, from *horn only they can be obtained. The price has been placed at th 6 very lowest possible point, point, barely covering the coßt of importation, and is within the reaoh of all, as one Necklet will last a life time. Aside from Ita many virtues as a remedial and preventive agent, the Necklet 1 a handsome ornament, and will be sent free on receiptof One Pouud, by posta note, money order, or registered letter.
