Dr AagUßte Kursteiner, who Is the highest Europesn authority on all diseases of women and children The Lanoet, the leading medical journal of the world, says :-— " The fact that the discovery and Invention of theße .Necklets la announced by Dr Kurstotner 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. ' if Although new to New Zealand, theae Necklets have been used for the last five years with the most Wonderful Success m England, on the Continent and m the United States, and are now constantly prescribed by tbe moat eminent phyßiclanß In their daily practice. r p It is needless to oomment on the anxious and eleeplees nights passed by i. thousands of mothers during the painful period of the teething of Infants Every Bj day brings to an untimely grave hundreds of Infants whose lives might havo be_n o caved by the use of the simple Necklet, « _ In ._. ditl _ n *.. the relic *, f . om _ paf D , afforded b ? the Neckl c* during the period of dentition, by Its nerve glvi-g force It wards off and prevents Measles, Whooping i Cough, Scarlet Fever, Group, and Chicken Pox, thns relieving childhood of its martyrdom, and gladdening the heart of every mother who Invokes Its aid, j[ Dr Kursteiner has appointed __juara CONROD & CO., Auckland, bis sole „ agenta In New Zealand for the aa le of these Necklets, from whom only , h they can be ootained.
