lvxwv ___. ___ ■ AN INEXPRESSIBLE BOON TO MOTHERS. Dr Auguste Kurpteiner's ? ELECTftO 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 Eleotrlo Necklet before the New Zealand public the discoverer and proprietor begs to draw Special attention to the faot that the material surround- ing the inner ohain of metallic substances is impregnated with a chemical solution, harmless m itself, ani yet containing tltanio powers, whlph generate a continuous light current of galvanism, and the Necklet In consequence contains all tbe virtues of a miniature battery, and is therefore not a useless artlole like so many of the so-called eleotrlo appliances, whioh cannot possibly produce any good results, as they are Incomplete ln the . most essential requirements, and cannot generate galvanism nor produce galvanic affects. This Neoklet is the outcome of a long-continued series of Investigating experiments by that well-known and eminent scientist and specialist, Dr Auguste Kurstelner, who is the highest Europesn- authority on all diseases of women and children The Lahobt, tha leading medical journal of the world, says : — " The faot that tha discovery and Invention of these Neoklete la announced by Dr Kurstelner Is a sufficient guarantee that a means has at last been discovered whloh will save the lives of millions of ohildren, 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 m England, on the Continent, and ln tha United States, and are now constantly prescribed by the most eminent physicians In their daily practice. 1 It Is needless to comment on the anxious and sleepless nights parsed by thousands of mothers during tho painful period of the teething of Infants. Every day brings to an untimely grave hundreds of Infants whose lives miglit have been saved by the use of the simple Neoklet. In addition to the relief from pain afforded by the .Necklet during tho period of dentition, by its nerve giving fores it wards off and prevents Measles, Whooping Cough, Scarlet Fevsr, Croup, and Chicken Pox, thus relieving childhood of Its BWtyrdom, and gladdening the heart of every mother who invokes its aid, Dr Kurstelner has appointed Messrs CONROD ; *, CO,, Auckland, his sola agents (n New Zealand for the sale of , these Necklets, from . whom only thay can be obtained. The price has bean plaoed at the very lowest possible point, | point, barely ooverlng the coat of Importation, and is within the reach of all, as one [ffcklot will last a life tluia. Aside from Its many virtues as a remedial and preventive ,f gent, : the Necklet! ' a handsome ornament, and will be sent free on receipt pf One Pound, by pstao i note, money order, oi registered letter. No cheques received. Address- J. CONROD & CO., P.O. Box 408, Auckland, N.Z.
