AN INEXPRESSIBLE BOON TO MOTHERS. Dr Auguste Kurpteiner's ELECTRO GALVANIC TEETHING NECKLET Endoraed by the Medical Faculty of Europe, And pronounced by al Leading Physicians The Qreatest Discovery of the Age IN placing the Electrlo Neoklct before the New Zealand pnblio the discoverer and proprietor begs to draw Speoial attention to the fact that the material surround- ing the inner chain of metallic substances is Impregnated with a chemical solution,! harmless m ittelf, an.i yet containing titanic towers, whloh generate a continuous! light onrrent of galvanism, and the Necklet In consequence contains all the virtues of a miniature battery, and Is therefore not a useless artiole like so many of the so-called eleotrio appliances, which cannot possibly produce any good results, as they are incomplete m the most essential requirements, and cannot generate galvanism nor produce gaivanio effeots, This Necklet is the outcome of a long-continued series of Investigating experiments by that well-known and eminent scientist and specialist, Dr A agnate Kuratelner, who is the highest European authority' on all diseases of women and children The Lanobt, the leading medical journal of the world, says : — " The fact that the dlioovery and Invention of these Necklets is announced by Dr Kurstolner is a sufficient guarantee that a means has at last been discovered whloh will save the lives of millions of children, and relieve the anxiety of many mothers. ' Although now to New Zealand, these Necklets have been used for the last five years with the do oh t Wonderful Success m England, on the Continent, and m the United States, and are now constantly prescribed by the most eminent physicians In their, dally praotloe. It is needless to comment on the anxious and sleepless nights passed by thousands of mothers doting 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 dentitlou, by its nerve giving force it wards off and prevents Measles, Whooping Oough, Scarlet Fever, Croup, and Chicken Pox, thus relieving ohlldhood of lfai martyrdom, and gladdening the heart of every mother who Invoke* lt» aid, Dr Knrsteiner has appointed Messrs CONROD & CO., Auckland, his sole agents In New Zealand for the sale of these Necklets, from whom' 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, aa one Necklet 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 receipt of One Pound, by post* note, money order, or registered letter. No cheques received. Address- J. CONROD & CO., P.O. Box 408, Auckland, N.Z. W- PATCHING.

While it haß capacity to Glean from CO to SO.bnehelfl per hour. No. 1 FARM MILL Io Sft Bin over all, end is famished with Wheat Hurdle, one Wheat Screen anG with side epout, ene Barley Bieve, anone Bieve. Sieves for other purposes nrni and charged for as extras. | ■ ■ ** TOBBIMAN; I FFBRBIMAN would call your attention « to this Improved Farm Fanning Mill which combinei all the advantagea of the various Mills now m übc, 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. Bkcond.— The improved plan of hanging th shoe upon strong Btrap-hinged hangers, thu preventing constant breakage. Thibd.— ld thematterM fastening the drum ha head to the pobts fej meanß of a caatiron lorf circle, »nd secured to the posts by screws (instead of wooden cleats morticed into posts and held by wooden keys), adding increased strength and durability to the Mill. Fouhth. — The great advantage of raising or lowering the slide m the Hopper means of a screw. The Irorm we of the most approved the wheel, pinion, and shako iionß being strong. The gearing is all placed on the mv side of the mill, out of the way. The bearing la 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 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 nse. The fan with wind boards are bo ar- ranged that the wind ntrikes 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 firain 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; The wheat screens and grader ore so arranged as to effectually take out ccckle from No 1 and No 2 wheati No Farmer or Dealer should be without one &s they are inraluable to all who wish to market their seed m good condition, and thus save the heavy deductiona usually made for impnritles and foul stuff, and blbo the extra freight charges and coat of cleaning. They also save time, and by the thorough and com- plete work which can be accomplished with them, Eoon repay the coßt incurred m their purchase. To Farmers raising large quantities of Grain, or Bee^B, we would recommend the No 2 Ware* honse Mill, as specially adapted for their use, as the great caving of time will compensate for the difference m the fiist cost. They can be run by hand as easily as a Farm Size, although constructed much heavier, and made more durable. Be guided by experience of others and order a "Eacine 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 inn through Borne oaty wheat ; he was highly pleasod with the job they made. —William Blaf b, Hillfort Waiwera. NBVEH BAW ITS EQoAL. I have only used the " Racine " Mill, as yet, for dressing oats, wheat, and gross seed. It has given me great satisfaction. I have never seen its equal for grading wheat for seed, and I have seen and helped vo work a good many. —William Brook, Church Hill, Waiwerai COMPLIMENTARY. I am very much pleased with it,— Johh Gamkroic, Bwift Creek, Kelso. COULD NOT BAVifi A BETTER OHARAOTER. I have given the "Racine" Warehouse Fan Mill a good trial, and it gives every saUstac- t on. I consider it * first-rate article. It clranß and grades grain rapidly and well, is strong, works Bmoothly , and will, I think, prov« dnrabie. It is much Superior to any other machine of the kind I have ever seen.— F. W. Mackenzie (the Captain), Fonahaka. BEST MACHINE OF THE KIND I HAVE EVER SEEN. I have tried it with wheat, oats, and turnip seed I can confidently say that it is all that it claims to be. In fact, it is a long way the beat 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 seeds. — William Littlbjohn, Waiwera WOULD *>0T LIKE TO WANT ONE NOW— NO ONE SHOULD. J can confidently recommend the " Racine Fanners te do their work well, and witK extreme facility. I would not by any means like te want one now, and I think no farmer should.— David Maokbksjib, Waiwera.
