George Jameson AOEWT ASHTWKTO V AN INEXPRESSIBLE BOON TO MOTHERS. Dr Auguste Kursteiner's ELECTM OEVAHIC TEETHING NECKLET, Endorsed by the Medical Faculty of Europe, And pronounced by all Leading Physicians The Greatest Discovery of the Age IN placing the Electric Necklet before the New- Zealand pnblio the discoverer and proprietor begs to draw Special attention to the fact that the material surround- ing the inner obain of metallic substances is Impregnated with a chemical solution, harmless m itself, and yet containing titanic powers, which generate a continuous light current of galvanism, and the Neoklet In consequence contains ail the vlttuei of a miniature battery, and ia therefore not a useless artiole like so many of the so-called electric appliances, which cannot poaßibly produce any good results, as they are Incomplete m the moßt essential requirements, and cannot generate galvanism nor produce 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 Kursteiner, who is the highest European authority on all diseases of women and children The Lanokt, the leading medloal journal of the world, says :— •' The fact that the discovery ani 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, these Neoklets have been used for the last five years with the most Wonderful Suooeas m England, on the Continent, and m the United States, and are now constantly prescribed by the moat eminent physicians m their daily practice. V It ia needless to comment on the anxious and sleepless nights passed by thoueands 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. Tn addition to the relief from pain afforded Vj Hit Necklet during the period of dentitiou, by its nerve-giving force It wards oft ab, prevents Measles, Whoopinß Cough, Scarlet Fever, Croup, and Chicken Pox, thus relieving ohildhood of its martyrdom, and gladdening the heart of every mother who Invokes its aid, Dr Kursteiner has appointed Messrs CON ROD <*/ CO., Auckland, bis sole Agentu m New Zealand for the sale of these Necklets, from <vhom only they can 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, an one Necklet wiil last a life time. Aitfe from its many virtues as a remedial and preventive agent, the Necklet I a htndsome ornament, and will be sent free on receipt of One Pound, by post* note, money order, or registered letter. No cheques received. Address- J OONROD&OO., P.O.
