Dr Augusta Kursteiner's ELECTRO GALVANIC" TEETHING NECKLET, - Endorsed by the Medical Faculty of Europe,' And pronoqnced by all rLeadluj^Physlcianß The Greatest Discovery of the Age IN placing the Electric Necklet before the New Zealand publio the discoverer and proprietor begs to draw Special attention to the fact that the material surround- ing the inner chain of metallio substances is Impregnated with a chemical solution, harmless In ittelf, and yet containing tiianlc rowers, whloh generate a continuous light onrrent of galvanism, and the Necklet m consequence contains ail the virtues of a miniature battery, and is therefore not a üßeleßs article like so many of the so-called electric appliances, which cannot possibly produce any good results, as they are incomplete In the moat essential requirements, and cannot generate galvanism nor produce gaivanlo effects. This Neoklet Is the outcome of a long-continued series of investigating experiments by that well-known and eminent soientißt and specialist, Dr Aoguate Kurstelner, who is the highest European authority on all diseases of women and children The Lancet, the leading medical journal of the world, says : — " The fact that the discovery and invention of these Necklets Ib 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 Necklets have been used for the last five years with the most Wonderful Success In England, on the Continent, and m the United States, and are now constantly prescribed by the most eminent physicians m their daily practice. It is needlesß to comment on the anxious and sleepless nights passed by thousands of mothers during the painful period of the teething of infants. Every : day brlngß to an untimely grave hundreds of infants whose lives might have been Bayed by the uae 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 Cough, Scarlet Fever, Croup, and Chicken .Pox, thus relieving childhood of its martyrdom, and gladdening the heart of every mother who invokes its aid, Dr Kurßteiner has appointed Messrs CONROD * CO., Auokland, his sole agent 3 m New Zaaland for the sale of these Neoklets, from #horn only they can be obtained. The price has been placed at the very lowest possible point, point, barely overing the cost of importation, and is within the reach of all, as one Necklet will last a life time. AsiJe from its many virtues ai a remedial gnd preventive agent, the Necklet I a handsome ornament, and will be sent free on receipt of Ono Pound, by posta note, money order, or registered letter.
