Dr Auguste Kurpteiner's ELECTRO GALVANIC TEETHING NECKLET Endorsed by the Medical Faculty of Europe, And pronounced by al , Leaollng Physicians The Greatest Discovery of the Age 5 ' . i •' ''■■ . IN placing the Electric Necklet before the New Zealand pnbllo the discoverer and proprietor begs to draw imperial attention to the fact that < be material surround- ing the inner ohain of metallic substances is impregnated with a chemical solution, harmless In itself, end yet containing titanic roarers, whioh generate a continuous light entrant of galvanism, arid the Necklet m consequence contains all the vhtuei of a miniature battery, and is therefore not a useless article like so many of the so-called electric appliances, which cannot possibly produoe any good results, as they are Incomplete m the most essential requirements, and cannot generate galvanism nor produoe galvanio effects. This Neoklot Is tho outcome of a long-continued series of Investigating experiments by that well-known and eminent Bolentist and specialist, Dr Anguste Kursteincr, who is the highest European authority on all diseases of women and children The Lancet, the leading medical journal of tho world, says : — " The fact that the discovery and Invention of these Necklets is announced by Dr Kurstoiner Is a sufficient guarantee that a raeanß 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 laßt five years with the most Wonderful Success m England, on the Continent, and m the United States, and are now constantly prescribed by the moat eminent physicians m their dally practice • . .;. It is needless to comment on the anxioas and sleepless nights passed by thousands of mothers during the •painful period of the teething of Infants. Every day briDgs to an untimely grave hundreds of infants whose lives might have been saved by the use of £he simple Necklet. In addition to the relict from pain afforded by the Necklet during the period of dentitiou, by its nerve-givrg force it wards off and prevents Measles, Whooping Cough, Soarlet Fovor, Croup, and Chicken Pox, thus relieving childhood of its martyrdom, and gladdening the heart of every mother who invokes its aid, Dr Knrsteiner has appointed Mesorß CONROD «fc CO., Auokland, his sole agents m New Zealand for tho sale of these Necklets, from vvhom only they can be obtained. The price has been placed at the very lowest possible point, point, barely covering the cost of importation, and Ib within the reaoh of all, as one Necklet 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 froo on receipt of One Pound, by posta 1 note, money order, or registered letter.
