[ 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 Eleotrlc Neoklet before the New Zealand pnblio the discoverer and proprietor begs to draw Speoial attention to the fact that the material Burround- Ing the inner obain c! uetallio substances Is , lmpregnated with a obemioal solution, harmless In itself, &n.\ yet containing tilanio powers, whloh generate a continuous light onrrent of galvanism, and the Neoklet m consequence oontalns all the virtues of a miniature battery , and is therefore not a useless artfole like so many of the so-called oleotrlo appliances, whioh cannot possibly produce any good results, as they are Incomplete m the most essential requirements; and cannot generate galvanism nor prcduoe galvanic effeots. This Necklet is the outcome of a long-continued series of investigating experiments by that well-known and eminent soientißt and specialist, Dr Auguato Kurstelner, who is the highest Europesn authority on all diseases of women and children ' The Lanoet, tho leading medical journal of the world, Bayß :•— " The faofc that the discovery and invention of these Nockletß Is announced by Dr Kurstelner Is a sufficient guavontee that a means has at last beeu discovered whloh will save the lives of millions of children, and relieve the anxiety of many mothers. ' Although now to New Zealand, these Necklots have been used for tho last five years with the roost Wonderful Suocobb m England, on the Continent, and m tho United Statcß, and are oow constantly prescribed by the most eminent physicians m their daily practice. It is neodlooß to comment on tho anxious and sleopless nights parsed 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 +h« relief from pain Afforded by the Necklet during the period of ctentitlou, by Its nerve giving foroe it : wards off and prevents Measles, Whooping Cough, Scarlet Fever, Croon, and- Chicken Fox, thus relieving childhood of its martyrdom, and gladdening the. heart of every mother who invokes its aid, Dr Kurstelner has appointed Messrs CONROD & CO., Auckland, bis sole agents m New Zealand for the sale of these Necklet a, from whom only they can bo obtained. The price has been placed at tbG very lowest possible point, point, bsrely covering the cost of Importation, and Jfl within the roaoh of all, as one i Necklet will last a life time. . Aside from ite many virtues aa a remedial and preventive agent, the Necklet 1 a handsome ornament, and will be sent free on receipt of One Pound, by posta note, money orler, or reg'sttred letter.

FFBBBIMAN wonld cull your attention • to thio Improved Farm Fanning Mill which combined all the advantsgen of the various Milln now m use, and also the follow- ing important and greatly Deeded Improve- ments : — First. — In the width of the Mill, it bolng wider tbnh most Farm Mills of similar eize, thereby increasing the cleaning capacity to a large extent. Bkoond.— The improved plan of hanging th choc apon atrong atrap-hinged hangers, tbu preventing constant breakago. Third. — Id the matter? f fastening the dram ha head to the poe>ta by meanß of a castiron lorf circle, ond secured to the poßte by sorewß (inßtead of wooden cleats morticed into posts and held by wooden kejß), adding increased strength and durability to the Mill. Fourth. — The great advantage of raising or lowering the slido m the Hopper means, of a screw. The icons uo of the most approved the wheel, pinion, and shake irons being strong. The gearing is all placed on the in> side of the mill, out of the way. The bearing is 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 separating all kinds of grain, we guarantee thie Mill to be equal to, and m fact superior, m all respect*, to any now m nee. The fan with wind boards are so ar- ranged that tho wind strikes the hnrdle m aaoh a manner ac to blow all fcul stuff and light grain over the hurdlo. The aide spout delivers the No 1 firain at tho Bide, and the No 2 grain at the front of the Mill. Tho grader can bo so adjusted as to separate and deliver through the side spout a greater or less portion of the boat grain; The wheat screens and grader aro so arranged ns to effectually take out c.cklo from No 1 and No 2 wheat. No Farmer or Dealer should bo without ono bb they aro inralnable to all who wißh to market tboir seed m good condition, and thus save the heavy dednctions usually mado for impurities and fonl 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 bo accomplished with them, coon repay tho coßt incurred m their P °To Farmerß raising largo quantities of Grain, or Eeo-Ip, we would recommend tho No 2 Ware- house Mill, as specially adapted for their use, as the great saving of time will compensate for the difference m the fiißt cost. They can bo ran )>y hand as eaaily a» a Farm Sizo, altho agh constructed much heavier, and mado more durable. . Bo guided by experience of otnerß ana order a "Bacine Mill." You don't want a better record than it has. Read. MADE A SPLIiNDID JOB. I put eomo bags of wheat through last spring, they mado a splendid job. A neighbor borrowed mine to run through some oaty wbcat : ho was highly pleased with tho job they mado. — William Bi-af b, Hillfort Waiwora. NEVER SAW ITS EQjAL. 1 havo only used tho " Racine " Mill, as yot, for dressing oats, wheat, and graea Bood. It has given me great satisfaction. I have never Been its equal for grading wheat for soed, and I have Been and helped 10 work a good many. — Wiiliam Brook, (,hurch Hill. Waiwora, COMPLIMENTARY. I nm very much pleased with it, — JOHN Oamkroit, Swift Crock, Kelao. CUULD NOT HAVE A BETTER CHARACTER. I have givea the lt Racine " Warehouso Fan Mill a good trial, and it gives every sa'isiac- t on. I consider it * first-rate article. It ckftus and grades grain rapidly and well, is strong, works smoothly ,and will, I think, prove durable.- It is much Frperior to any other machine of tho kind I havo ever aoen. — F. W. Mackenzie (tho Captlin), Pomahaka. BEST MACHINE OF THE KIND I HAVE EVER SEEN. I have tried it with wheat, oats, and turnip reed I can confidently say that it is all that it claims to be. In fact, it is a long way the best machine of the kind I have evor seen. With a larger assortment of riddles, I boliove it will dress m a superior mannor any kind seeds. — WitMAic Littlejohn, Waiwera WOULD IsOT LIKB 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 ono now, and I think no farmer should.— David Mackenzie, Waiwera.
