ANINBXPRBSSIBLB BOON TO MOTHERS. Dr Auguste Kiirpteiner's ELECTRO GALVANIC TEETHING NECKLETj Endorsed by the Medical Faculty of Earopa, And pronounced by al Leading Physicians The Greatest Discovery of the Age IN plaolng the Eleotrlo Necklet before the Now Zealand pnbllo the discoverer and proprietor begß to draw Speoial attention to the fact that the material surronnd- ing the Inner chain of raetalllo substances Is Impregnated with a obemloal solution, harmless In Itself, and yet containing titanio powers, whioh generate a continuojas light enrrent of galvanism, and the Necklet In consequence contains all the virtues of a miniature battery, and la therefore not a useless article like bo many of the so-called eleotrlo appliances, whioh cannot possibly produce any good results, as they are Incomplete In the most essential requirements, and cannot generate galvanism nor produce galvanic effects. This Neoklet is the outcome of a long-continued series of Investigating experiments by that well-known and eminent scientist and specialist, Dr Auguste Kursteiner, who Is the highest Kuropesn authority on all diseases of women and children The Lanobx, the leading medical journal of the world, says :— " The faot that the discovery and invention of these Necklets Is announced by Dr Kurstelner is a sufficient guarantee that a means has at last been discovered whioh 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 Suoceus m England, on the Continent, and m the United States, and are now constantly prescribed by the most eminent physicians In their daily praotioe. ' It is needless to comment on the anxious and sleepless nlghta 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 Hvob might have been saved by the use of the simple Necklet. In addition to the relief from pain afforded by the Necklet during the period of dentition, by ita nerve glvi-g force It wards off and prevents Measles, Whooping Oough, Scarlet Fever, Croup, and Ohioken Pox, thns relieving ehlldhood of Its martyrdom, and gladdening the heart of every mother who Invokes Its aid, Dr Kurstelner has appointed Messrs CONROD & CO., Au ok land, bis sole agents m New Zealand for the sale of these Necklets, from whom 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, as one Necklet will last a life time. ! Aside from Its many virtues as a remedial »nd preventive agent, the Necklet* a handsome ornament, and will be sent free on receipt of One Pound, by pstao note, money order, oi registered letter. No cheques received. Address- J. CONROD & CO., P.O. Box 408, Auckland, N.Z. £ : P, and D. Duncan, : AGEICULTURAL IMPLEMENT MANUFACTURERS, CHRISTCHOBCtt AND ASHBUBTOK.
