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 Special attention to the fact that the material surround- ing tho inner chain of Metallic substances Is Impregnated with a chemical solution, harmless m itself, an.i yet containing titanio powers, which generate a continuous light enrrent of galvanism, and the Neoklet m consequence contains ail the vlrtueß of a miniature battery, and Is therefore not a useless article like bo many of the ao-oalled electric appliances, which cannot possibly produce any good results, as they are incomplete m the moßt essential requirements, and cannot generate galvanism nor produce galvanic effects. This Neoklet is the outcome of a long-continued aeries of Investigating experiments by that well-known and eminent scientist and specialist, Dp Auguste Kursteiner, who is the highest European authority on all diseases of women and children The Lancet, the leading medical journal of the world, says :—" The fact that the disoovery and invention of these JNocklets is announced by Dr Kuratelnor 1b a sufficient guarantee that a means has at last been discovered which will Bave 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 yeara with the roost Wonderful Success, m England, on the Continent, and m the United States, and are now constantly prescribed by the moat eminent physicians m their daily practice. 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 Infanta whoße 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 giving 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, blB Bole agents m New Zealand for the oale of these Necklets, from vrhom 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, an one Neoklet will last a life time. Aside from its many virtues aa a remedial »nd preventive agent, the Nedtlet 1 a handsome ornament, and will be sent free on receipt of One Pound, by posta note, money order, or registered letter.

FFBBBIMAN would call your att«ntion • to thia Improved Farm Fanning Mill which combines all the advantages of the Yanouß Milln 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 similar size, thereby increasing the cleaning capacity to a large extent. bECOND.— The improved plan of hanging th choc upon strong strap-hinged hangers, thu preventing constant breakage. Third.— ld the mabterr f fastening the dram ha head to the potts bj means of a caatiron lorf circle, and B»curod to the posta by screws (instead of wooden cleats morticed into posts and held by wooden keys), adding increased strength and durability to the Mill. Foueth.— The great advantage of raising or lowering the slide m the Hopper means of a screw. The irons oie of the most approved the wheel, pinion, and ahake irons being strong:. The gearing is all placed on the in* side of the mill, ont of the way. The bearing is formed by the hub of the large wheel rnn* ningin a thimble or box, three inches long, of Chilled Iron and extending through the poets, giving it a steady and easy motion. For cleaning and separating all kinds of grain, we guarantee thio Mill to be equal 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 hnrdle m such a manner as to blow all fcul stuff and light grain over the hnrdle. The Bide spout delivers the No 1 train 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»spont a greater or less portion of the best grain; The wheat screens and grader are so arranged as to effectually take oat ccckle from No 1 and No 2 wheatt No Farmer or Dealer should be without one bb they are inraloable to all who wish to market their seed m good condition, and thus Bave the heavy deductions usually made tor imparities and foul stuff, and also the extra freight charges and cost of cleaning. They aleo save time, and by the thorough and com- plete work which can be accomplished with them, soon repay the cost incurred m their purchase. To Farmers raising large quantities of Grain, or Seeriß, 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 rnn by hand as easily a» a Farm Size, although constructed much heavier, and made more durable. Be guided by experience of others and ordet a " Bacine Mul.

A neighbor borrowed mine to run through some oaty wheat ; he was 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 oats, wheat, and grass seed. It has given me great satisfaction. I have never seen its eqnal for grading wheat for Beed, and I have Been and helped to work a good many. —William Brook, Church Hill. Waiwera. COMPLIMENTARY. I am very much pleased with it,— John ( CAMKnoir, Swift Creek, Kelso. COULD NOT BAVE A BETTER CHARACTER. [ I have given the •' Bacine " Warehouse Fan Mill a good trial, and it gives every sa'istac- t'on. I consider it «• first-rate article. It elans and grades grain rapidly and well, is strong, works smoothly ,and will, I think, prove durable. It is much Buperior to any othei machine of the kind I have ever seen.— F. W. Mackenzie (the Captain), Pooahaka. BEST MACHINE OF THE KIND I HAVE EVER SEEN. I have tried it with, wheat, oats, and turnip eeed I can confidently say that it is all that it claims to be. In fact, it iB a long way the best machine of the kind I have ever Been. With a larger assortment of riddles, I bolieve it will dress m a superior manner any kind eeedg.— William Littlejohh, Waiwera WOULD ISOT LIKE TO WANT ONE HOW— NO ONE SHOULD. I lean confidently recommend the " Racina I Fanners to do their work well, and witk I extreme facility. I would not by any meana like to want one now, and I think no farmer should— David Mackenzie, Waiwera.
