AN INEXPRESSIBLE BOON TO MOTHERS. Dr Auguste Kurpteiner's ELECTRO GALVANIC TEETHING NECKLET Endorsed by the Medical Faculty of Europe, ; And pronounced by al 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 Speolal attention to the fact that the material surround- ing the inner ohain of metallic substances Is impregnated with a chemical Bolutlon, harmless m itself, and yet containing titanic powers, whloh generate a continuous light onrrent of galvanism, and the Neoklet m consequence contains all the virtues of a miniature battery, and Is therefore not a useless artiole like so many of the so-oalled eleotrlo appliances, whioh cannot possibly produce aqy good results, as they are Incomplete m the most essential requirements, and cannot generate galvanism nor produce gaivanto effeota. ii This Neoklet Is the outcome of a long-oontlnued series of Investigating axpevlmenta by that well-known and eminent scientist and specialist, Dr August Kurstelner, who is the highest Europesn authority on all diseases of women 1 itid children i.'m . The Lanobt, the leading medical journal of the world, says : — " The hot that bhe discovery and Invention of these Necklets is announced by Dr Kurstelner 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, ' 1 Although new to New Zealand, these Necklets have been used for the last five rears with the most Wonderful Succosb m England, on the Continent, and In the United States, and are vow constantly prescribed by the moat eminent physicians In their daily practice. '. It Is needless to comment on the anxlona and sleepless nights passed by thousands of mothers duting the painful period of the teething of infants. Every day brings to an untimely grave hundreds of infants whose lives might have been sared by the use l of the simple Neoklet. .. In addition to the relief from pain afforded by the Neoklet during, the period of dentltlou, by Its nerve giving force it wards off and prevents Measles, Whooping Cough, Scarlet Fever, Group, and Ohioken Poz, thus relieving ohildhood of its martyrdom, and gladdening the heart of every mother who invokes Its aid, Dr Kursteiner has appointed Messrs OONROD & CO., Auckland, bis vole agents m New Zealand for the sale of these Necklets, from vrhom 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 Neoklet 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 reoelpt of One Pound, by post* note, money order, or registered letter. No cheques received. Address- J. OONROD & CO., P.O. Box 408, Auckland, N.Z. W. PATCHING, TENT, TARPAULIN, FLAG, AND HORSECLOTH MANUFACTURER.

Sieves for other purposes nrni and charged for aa extras. F. FEERIMAN. FFEBRIMAN wonld call your attention • to this Improved Farm Fanning Mill which com bin ea all the advantages of tho various Mills now m use, and also the follow- ing important and greatly needed Improve* ments :— First.— ln the width of the Mill, it being wider than most Farm Mills of Bimilar size, thereby increasing the cleaning capacity to » large extent. bKOOKD.— The improved plan of hanging ph. shoe upon strong etrap-hinged hangers, thn preventing constant breakage. Third.— ld the matter* I fastening the drum ha head to the pobts hj means of a castiron lorf circle, and secured to the posts by Borews (instead of wooden cleats morticed into posts and held by wooden keys), adding increased strength and durability to the Mill. Fourth.— The great advantage of raising or lowering the elide m the Hopper means of a screw. The irons aie 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 ia formed by the hub of the large wheel run- ning m a thimble or box, three inches long, of Chilled Iron and extending through the poute, giving it a Bteady and easy motion. For cleaning and separating all kinds of grain, we guarantee thie Mill to be equal to, and m fact superior, m all respects, to any now m use. The fan with wind boards are bo ar- ranged that the wind strikes the hurdle m such a manner as to blow all fcul stuff and light grain over the hurdle. The Bide spout delivers the No 1 £rain at the side, and the No 2 grain at the front of the Mill. The grader can be bo adjusted as to separate and deliver through the side spout a greater or less portion of the best grain. Tha wheat screens and grader are so 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 inraluable 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 Farmers raising large quantities of Qraia, or Beetfe, we would recommend tho 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 run by band as easily aa a Farm Size, although constructed much heavier, and made more durable, , Be guided by experience of others and order a "Bacine Mill." You don't want a bettor record than it has. Bead. rMADE A. SPLENDID JOB.

NEVEB SAW ITS EQ^AL. 1 have only used the H Bacine " Mill, as yet, for dressing oats, wheat, and grass Beed, It has given me great satisfaction. I have nevei Been its equal for grading wheat for seed, and I have Been and helped to work » good many, —William Brook, Church Hill, Waiwera, COMPLIMENTARY. I am very much pleased with it,— JoHB Cameron, Swift Creek, Eeleo. COULD NOT BAVE A BETTER CHARACTER. I have given the " Bacine " Warehouse Fat Mill a good trial, and it gives every ea'isiac t : oo. I consider it » first-rate article. II cleans and grades grain rapidly and well, ii strong, works smoothly, and will, I think, provi durable. It is much Superior to any othei 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 turnij eeed. I can confidently cay that it is all tha it claims to be. In fact, it is a long way th best machine of tha kind I have ever seen With a larger assortment of riddles, I beliov it will dress m a superior manner any kind seeds.— William LitTLßJOHW.Waiwera WOULD ISOT LIKE TO WANT ONE NOW— NO ONE SHOULD, lean confidently recommend the •' Bacine Fanners te do their work well, and witl extreme facility.
