Dr Auguste Kursteiner's ELECTRO GALVANIC 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 chain of metallic substances is impregnated with a chemical solution, harmless m itself, and yet containing titanic rowers, which generate a continuous light enrrent of galvanism, and the Necklet m consequence contains ail the virtues of a miniature battery, and is therefore not a useless artiole like so many of the so-called j eleotrio appliances, which cannot possibly produce any good results, as they are incomplete m the moat essential requirements!u^tßdHMaaßßQt^eDerate galvanism nor produce galvanic effects. This Neoklet Is the outcome of a loM^^PSidfaieriea! cf-i Investigating"- experiments by that well-known and e^j^^^j^fijN^^^i^eciftliflty ' ftr Auguste Kurateiner, who is the highest R^^H&lOTEh^ift^^a^alir disease* of 1 women and children r --•■•»«*& : -*^*^i J p;^*, A »•"■/• l^ J W^« i,, The Lancet, the leading medical journal of the world, says :— " The fact that the dlßOOvery and Invention of these Nocklets is announced by Dr Kuratelner 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 m England, on the Continent, and In the United States, and are now constantly prescribed by the moetf eminent physicians m their daily practice. It Is needless to comment on the anxious and sleepless nights parsed by thousands of mothers during the painful period of the teething of Infants. Every day brings to an untimely grave hundreds of Infants whoae lives might have been saved by the use of the simple Neoklet. In addition to the relief from pain afforded by the Necklet during the period of dentitiou, by Us nerve-giving force it wards off and prevents Measles, Whooping Cough, Scarlet Fever, Croup, and. Chicken Pox, thus relieving ohlldhood of 'its martyrdom, and gladdening the heart of every mother who invokes its aid, Dr Kursteiner has appointed Messrs CONROD & CO., Auckland, his sole agents m New Zealand for the sale of theee Neoklets, from vrhom only they can be obtained. The price has been plaoed at the very lowest possible point, point, barely covering the cost of importation, and is within the reach of all, as one Neoklet will last a life time. Aside from its many virtues as a remedial and preventive agent, the Neoklet 1 a handsome ornament, and will be sent free on receipt of One Pound, by posta note, money order, or registered letter.
