AN INEXPRESSIBLE BOON TO MOTHERS, Dr^Auguste Kursteiner's jELECTRO * GALVANIC TEETHING NECKLET}' Endorsed by the Medical Faonlty of Europe, And pronounced by al Leading Physicians The Greatest Discovery of the Age IN placing the Electrlo Necklet before the New Zealand pnbllo the discoverer and proprietor begs to draw Special attention to the fact that the material surround- ing the inner chain oj metallic sabetancen Is impregnated with a chemical solution, harmless m itself, buA yet containing titanic (overs, which generate a continuous light current of galvanism, and the Necklet m consequence contains all the virtueß of a miniature battery, and Is therefore not a useleßß article like bo many of the so-called eleotrio appliances, which cannot possibly produce any good resulto, as they are incomplete m the moßt essential requirements, and cannot generate galvanism nor produce galvanic effeots. This Necklet is the outcome of a long-continued series of investigating experiments by that well-known and eminent scientist and specialist, Dr Aoguste Kuratelner, who is the highest European authority on all diseases of women and children The Lancet, the leading medical journal of the world, sayß : — " The fact that the discovery and Invention of theae Nockletß is announced by Dr Kurstolner 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 Success m England, on the Continent, and In the United States, and are now constantly prescribed by the most eminent physicians In their dally practice. : It Is needless to comment on the anxious and sleepless nights passed 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 the relief from pain afforded by the Necklet dnrlng the period of dentitiou, by Its nerve givi-g 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, v Dr Kurutelner has appointed Messrs CONROD & CO., Auokland, bis sole agents In New Zealand for the (tale of these Necklets, from <rhom only they oan be obtained. The price has been placed at the very lowest possible point, point, barely covering the cost of Importation, and Is within the reach of all, a« one Necklet will last a life time. : ' Aside from its many virtueß as a remedial and preventive agent, the Necklet 1 a handsome ornament, and will be Bent free on receipt of One Pound, by pstao note, money order, or registered letter. No chequeß received. Address— J. CONROD & CO., P.O. Box 408, Auokland, N.Z. P. and D.
