AN INEXPRESSIBLE BQON TO MOTHERS, Dr Augiiste Kur^teiner's ELECTRO GALTOIC SEETHING NECKLET Endorsed by the Medical Faculty of Europe, And pronounced by al . ' : Leading Physicians r The Greatest piscovery of the Age IN placing the Electric Necklet before the New Zealand public the discoverer , ana proprietor begs to draw Special attention to the fact that the material BUrround- ing the inner chain of metallio sqbatanoes is impregnated with a chemical solution, harmless m itself, and yet containing titanic p overs, which generate a continuous light enrrent of galvanism, and the Neoklet m consequence contains ail the virtues of a miniature battery, and ia therefore not a useless article like so many of the eo-oalled electric appliances, which cannot possibly produce any good results, as they are incomplete In the most essential requirements, and cannot generate galvanism nor produoe galvanic effects. ' This Neoklet Is the outcome of a long-continued series of investigating experiments by that well-known and eminent scientist and specialistj Dv Anguete Kursteiner, who is the highest Europesn authority on all diseases of : women and children 5 The Lanokt, the leading medical journal ,of the world, says : — " The fact that the discovery and invention of these Necklets Is announced by Dr Kuisteiner Is a eufGcient 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. './ I * Although new to New Zealand, these Necklets have been used for the'last five years with the most Wonderful Success In England, on the Continent^ and m the United States,, and are oow constantly prescribed by the moat eminent physicians In their daily practice. ; It is needleßß to comment on the anxious and eleoplesa nights pasßed by thousands of mothers during the painful period of the teething of infanta. - Every day brings to an untimely grave hundreds of Infants whose lives might have been saved by the use pf the simple Neoklet. - In addition to the relief from pain afforded by the Necklet during the; period of dentition, by its nerve-givfrg force it wards off and prevents Measles, Whooping Cough, Scarlet Fever, Croup, and Chicken Pox, thuß relieving childhood of its martyrdom, and gladdening tf ie heart of every mother who invokes its aid, !

No Farmer valuing Clean deed can aff to co without a BACINE FAN MILL. Practical Farmers have pronounced it the Best— read TESTIMONIALS below. " While it has capacity to Clean from CO to 90 bnsheJe per hoar, . Ho.' 1 FARM MILL ; Is ;2ft Bin over all, and is farninhed with one' Wheat Hurdle, one Wheat Screen and Grader with Bide spout, ono Barley Sieve, and one Oat Sieve. Sieves for other purposes famished and charged for as extras. F, FERRIMAN. FFEBBIMAN would call your attention • to this Improved Farm Fanning Mill which combines all tho advartagrs of the vnnoua Mills now m "Rf- and nlen *h* follow, ing impoitaut and greatly needed Improve- ments :— First.— ln the width of the Mill, it being •wider thah mest Farm Mills of similar ftize, thereby increasing the cleaning capacity to a large extent. bxcoND. — The improved plan of banging the choc upon strong strap- hinged hangers. thuß preventing conßtant breakage. Third. — Id themafctert I fastening the drum or head to the pc&ts h\ means of a castiron half circle, and secured to the posts by screws (inßtead of wooden cleats morticed into poets and held by wooden keys), adding increased strength and durability to the Mill. FOURTH. — The grent advantage of raising or lowering the slide m the Hopper I means of a screw. The irons aie of the meßt approved the wheel, pinion, and shake irons being Btrong. The gearing is all placed on the in-, • Bide of the mill, out of the way. The bearing I is formed by the hub of the large wheel run- ning m a thimble or box, three inches long, j of Chilled Iron and extending through the • posts, giving it a steady 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 nee: The fan with wind boards are so ar- ranged that the wind strikes thehnrdle m such 1 I a manner as to blow all fcul stuff and light ! grain over the hurdle . The side spout delivers tho No 1 firain at the side, and the No 2 grain at the front of the Mill. The grader can be so adjusted as to separate and deliver through the side spout a greater or leas portion of the beat groin: Tha wheat screens and grader are bo arranged os to effectually take out ccckle from No 1 and No 2 wheati No Farmer or DealeT should bo without one us they are m valuable to all who wish to market their seed m good condition, and thus save the heavy deductions usually made for impurities and foul Btnffi, 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 uraxn, or Eeerfß, we would recommend the No 2 Ware- house Mill, as specially adapted for their use, as the great saving of time will compensate for tho difference m the first cost. They can be run by hand as easily a« a Farm Size, altho ?gh constructed much heavier, and made more datable. Be gnided by experience of others and order a M Bacine Mill." You don't want a better record than it has. Bead. \ MADE A SPLENDID JOB. I put some bags of wheat through last spring, they made a splendid job. A neighbor borrowed mine to run through some oaty wheat; he was highly pleased with the job they made. — Wilmam Blaf b, Hillfort NEVEB SAW ITS EQJAL. I have only used the " Bacine " Mill, as yet, for dressing oats, wheat, and grass seed. It has given me great satisfaction. I have never seen its equal for grading wheat for seed, and I have seen and helped t© work a. good many. — WuiiiAM Brook, Church Hill. Waiwera. COMPLIMENTABY. I am very much pleased with it, — JOHN Camebok, Bwif t Creek, Kelso. COULD NOT BAVE A BETTER . OHABACTEB. I have given the '♦ Bacine " Warehouse. Fan Mill a good trial, and it gives every sa<islac- t'OD. I consider it a first-rate article. It cleans and grades grain rapidly and well, >w Btrong,' works smoothly.and will, I think, prove durable. It iB much fivperior to any other machine of the kind I have ever seen — F. W; Maokbkzib (the Captain). Poroahaka. BEST MACHINE OF THE KIND I HAVE EVER SEEN. * i I have tried it with wheat, oats, and turnip seed. I can confidently Bay that it is all that it claims to be. In fact, it is a long way the beet machine of the kind I have ever seen. With a larger assortment of riddles, I believe it will dress m a superior manner any kind B o^B. — William Littlej ohn. Waiwera WOULD IsOT LIKE TO WANT ONE NOW— NO ONE SEOULD. I can confidently recommend the " Bacins Fanners to do their work well, and witl^ extreme facility.
