Endowed by the Medical Faculty of Europe, j 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 aurronnd- ing the inner chain of Metallic substances is Impregnated with a cbemioal solution, harmless m itself, an.i yet containing titanic (overs, which generate a continuous light cnrrent of galvanism, and the Necklet m consequence contains ail the virtues of a miniature battery, and is therefore not a, useless artiole like bo many of the so-oalled electrlo appliances, whloh cannot possibly produce any good results, as they are. Incomplete In the most essential requirements/ and oannot generate galvanism not produce galvanic effects. : 1 Thlfc' Necklet Is the outcome of a long-continued series of Investigating 'experiments by that well-known and eminent scientist and specialist, Dr Aaguste Kurstelner, who is the highest European authority on all diseases of women and children ' '.V The Lanoet, the leading medical journal o? the world, Bays : — " The hot that jfcVe discovery and invention of these Necklets is announced by Dr Kurstelner is a sufficient guarantee that a meanß 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 Succeaa m England, on the Continent, and m the jUnlted Stateß, and are now constantly prescribed by the moßt eminent physicians m their daily practice. f v., ; ': ' It is needless to comment on the anxious and sleepless nights passed by thousands of mothers dating the painful period of the teething of infants. Every jday brings to an untimely grave; hundreds of infants whose lives might have been saved, by the uae of the simple Necklet, IT In addition .'to the relief from pain afforded By the Necklet during the period jbf dentftldu,' by Its nerve giving force It wardsbff and prevents Measles, Whooping JGough, Scarlet Fever, Croups arid OhlbSten Pox, thus relieving childhood of its martyrdom, and gJaddehing the heart of every mother nrho Invokes Its aid. Dr. Kqrstemer kas appointed Messrs OONROD <fe CO., Auckland, his sole agents m New Zealand for the bale of these Necklets, from whom only they can 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, 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 free on receipt of One Pound, by posta note, money order, ov registered letter.

No Farmer valuing Clean deed can » fc to po without a RACINE FAN MILL. Practical Farmers have pronounced it tht Beßt— read TESTIMONIALS below. While it has capacity to Glean from_6o to dO.bnshete per hour, Jo. 1 FARM MILL Is 2ft Bin over all, and is furnished with Wheat Hurdle, one "Wh«at Screen and G with side spout, ene Barley Sieve, an one Sieve. Eievea for other purposes urni and charged for as extras. F. FERRIMA.N; FFEERIMAW would call your attention * to this Improved Farm Fanning Mill which combines all the advantages of the i various Mills now m use, and also the follow i ing important and greatly needed Improve* mente : — First.-— ln the width of the Mill, it being wider than most Farm Mills of similar fcize, thereby increasing the cleaning capacity to a large extent. Second. — The improved plan of hanging th shoe upon strong etrap-hinged hangers, thu preventing constant breakage. Third.— ld the matters 1 f fastening the drum ha head to the posts by means of a castirpn lorf circle, »nd secured to the posts by screws instead of wooden cleats morticed into posts and held by wooden keys), adding increased strength and durability to the Mill. Fotjbth.— The great advantage of raising or lowering the slide m the Hopper means of a screw. The irons are of the most approved the wheel, pinion, and shake irons being strong. The gearing is all placed on the in* side of the mill, out of the way. The bearing 18 formed by the hub of the large wheel run- ning m a thimble or box, three inches long, of Chilled Iron and extending throngh the posts, giving it a steady and easy motion. For cleaning and separating all kinds of grain, we guarantee thie Mill to be eqaal to, and m fact superior, m all respects, to any now m use. The fan with wind boards are so ar- ranged that the wind strikes the hurdle m such a manner as to blow all fcul stuff and light graiu over the hurdle . The side spout delivers the No 1 grain atthe side, and the No 2 grain at the front of the Mill. The grader can ie so adjusted as to separate and deliver through the side spout a greater or less portion of the best groin.- The wheat screens and grader are bo arranged as to effectually take out cockle from No 1 and No 2 wheat. No Farmer or Dealer should be without one as they are m raluable to all who wish to market their seed m good condition, and thus ' save the heavy deductions usually made for impurities and foul stuff, and also the extra freight charges and cost of cleaning. They also save time, and by the thorough and com- plete work which can be accomplished with them, coon repay the cost incurred m their purchase. To Farmerß raising large quantities of Brain, or Beerfs, we would recommend the No 2 Ware- house Mill, as specially adapted for their use, as the great saving of time will compensate for the difference m the first cost. They can be ran by hand as easily aft a Farm Size, althoagh constructed much ' heavier, and made more durable. Be guided by experience of others and ordei a "Racine Mill." You don't want a better record than it has. Read. MADE A SPLENDID JOB, I put some bags of wheat through last spring, they made a splendid job. A neighbor borrowed mine to run through some oaty wheat ; he waa highly pleased with the job they made; — William Blaf c, Hillfort Waiwera. NEVER SAW ITS EQJAL. I have only used the " Racine " Mill, as yet, for dressing oate, wheat, and grass seed. It has given me great satisfaction. I have never seen its equal for grading wheat for seed, and I have seen and helped to work a good many. —William Brook, Church Hill. Waiwera. COMPLIMENTARY. I am very much pleased with it, — John Cameron, Swift Creek, Zelso. COULD NOT BAVE A BETTER CHARACTER. I have given the " Racine " Warehouse Fan Mill a good trial, and it gives every saMstac- t'on.

It is much Superior to any other machine of the kind I have ever seen.— F. W* Mackenzie (the Captain), Pomahaka. BEST MACHINE OF THE KIND I HAVI EVER SEEN. I have tried it with wheat, oats, and turnip eeed. I can confidently say 'that it is all thai it claims to be. In fact, it is a long way tht best machine of the kind I have ever seen With a larger assortment of riddles, I believt it will dress m a suporior manner any kind seeds. — William Littlbjohn, Waiwera WOULD JsOT LIKE TO WANT ONE NOW— NO ONE SHOULD. lean confidently recommend the "Racino Fanners te do their work well, and with extreme facility.
