_ V 4. j w _________________«_________—___ AIT INEXPRESSIBLE BOON TO MOTHERS, Dr Auguste Kursteiner's ELECTRO GALVANIC TEETHING NECKLETS Endorsed by the Medical Faculty of Europe, And pronounced by al Leading Physicians The Greatest Discovery of the Age JN placing the Electric Neoklet before the New Zealand pnbllo the discoverer and _I_ proprietor begs to draw Special attention to the fact that the material surround- ing the inner ohaln of metallio substances 1b Impregnated with a ohemioal solution, harmless In Itself, and yet containing titanic rowers, whloh generate ft continnooA light current of galvanism, and the Necklet m consequence contains all the virtues of a miniature battery, and is therefore not a melees article like bo many of the so-oalled elootrio appliances, which cannot possibly produce any good results, as they are Incomplete (n the most essential requirements, and cannot generate galvanism nor prodnce gaivanlo effects. This Neoklet Is the outcome of a long-continued series of Investigating experiments by that well-known and . eminent scientist and specialist, D? Auguste Kurstelner, who is the highest Kuropesn authority on all disease* of women and children The Lahoct, the leading medical journal of the world, «ayß :— " The fact that the dhcovery and invention of these Necklets Is announced by Dr Kurstelner Is » sufficient guarantee that a means has. at last been discovered whlclv will save tbe lives of milllonß of children, and relieve the anxiety of many mofchera. Although now to New Zealand, these Necklets have been used for the last five years with the most Wonderful Succesß m England, on the Continent, and m the United Stateß, and are now constantly prescribed by the most eminent physicians In their dally practice. 1 It Is needless to comment on the anxious and sleepless nights 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 lives 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 its nerve glvHg force It wards off and prevents Measles Whooping Cough, Scarlet Fever, Croup, and Chicken Pox, thus relieving childhood of Its martyrdom, and gladdening the heart of every mother who Invokes Its aid, Dr Kurstelner has appointed Messrs CONROD & CO., Auckland, his sole agents m New Zealand for the rale of these Necklets, from <rhom only they can be obtained. The price has been placed at the very lowest possible point, \ point, barely covering the coßt of importation, and Is within the reach of all, m one Necklet will last « life time. i ABlde 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, or registered letter. No cheques received. 1 Address— J. CONROD & CO., ' P.O. Box 408, Auckland, N.Z. I 'P. and D. Duncan, : AGRICULTURAL IMPLEMENT MANUFACTURERS, Chbistchurch and Ashbubton.
