Business J ttiteF AN INEXPRESSIBLE BOON TO MOTHERS. Dr Auguste Kursteiner's ELECTRO GALVANic TEETHING NECKLET, Endorsed by the Medicai Faculty of Europe, And pronounced by al Leading Physicians The Greatest Discovery of the Age IN plaolng the Electric Neoklet before the New Zealand pnbllo the discoverer and proprietor begs to draw Special attention to the fact that the material aurroand- ing the inner ohain of metallio substances is impregnated with a chemical solution, harmless m itself, and yet containing titanic rowers, which generate a continuous light current of galvanism, and the Necklet m consequence contains ail the virtues of a miniature battery, and {b therefore not a uaelesß article like so many of the so-called eleotrlo appliances, which cannot possibly produce any good results, as. they are fnoomplete m the most essential requirements, and cannot generate galvanlam not produce gaivanio effects. This Neoklet is the outcome of a long-continued series of investigating experiments by that well-known and eminent Boientiat and specialist} Dr Aagnste Kurstelner, who is the highest European authority on all diseases of women and children The Lancet, the leading medical journal of the world, sayß : — •' The faot that the discovery and invention of these JSecklets is announced by Dr Knrotelner is a euffioienfc guarantee that a means haa at last been discovered which will save 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 years with the roost Wonderful Succobb m England, on the Continent, and m the United States, and are now constantly prescribed by the most eminent physicians In their daily practice. It is needless to comment on the anxious and sleepless nights packed by thouEanda of, mothers during the painful period of the teething of infants. Every day brings to-an untimely grave hundreds of Infants whoae livea 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 dentitiou, by its nerve-glvfrg force it wards off nnd prevents Meaßles, Whooping Cough, Scarlet Fever, Croup, and Ohiofcen Pox, thus relieving ohildhood of its martyrdom, and gladdening the heart of every mother who invokes its aid, Dr Kursteiner has appointed , Mesers CONROD fr CO., Auckland, "his sole agentß m New Zealand for the Bale ,of these Necklets, from ffhom only they can be obtained. The price has been placed at the very lowest possible point, point, barely covering the oobl of importation, and is within the reach of all, as one Necklet will last a life time. Aside from its many virtues aa a remedial and preventive agent, the Necklet i a handsome ornament, and will be sent free on receipt of One Pound, by posta note, money order, or registered letter.

BACINE FAN FABM MILL. the^testedTfarm mill. The Cheapest nnd Best Fan Mill m the Market* No Farmer valuing Clean Seed can.'.afford [to go without a RACINE FAN MILL. Practical Farmers have pronounced it the Best—read TESTIMONIAL below. While it has capacity to Clean rom 60 to 90 bushels per hour. Ho. 1 FARM MILL • Is 2ft Bin over all, and is furnished with one Wheat Hurdle, one Wheat Screen and Grader with side spout, one Barley Sieve, and one Oat Sieve. Sieves for other purposes furnished and charged for as extras. F. FERRIMAN. FFEBRIMAN -would call your atten- • tion to this Improved Farm Fanning Mill, which combines all the advantages of the various Millß now m use. and also the following important and greatly needed Improve- ments:— First.— ln the width of the Mill, it being wider than most Farm Millß of Bimilar size, thereby increasing the cleaning capacity to a large extent bEOOND.~The improved plan of hanging the shoe npon strong strap-hinged hangers, thus preventing constant breakage. Thibd. — In the matter of fastening the drum or head to the posts by means of a cast- iron half circle, and seenred to the poßte by ' BCTews (instead of wooden cleats morticed 1 into posts and held k v wooden keys), adding increased strength and dv ability to the Mill. Fourth.— -Tho great au vantage of easily raising or lowering the slide , 4 tfie Hopper by means of a screw. The irons are of the most approved pattern, the wheel ■ pinion, and shake irons being extra strong The gearing is all placed on the inside of the Mill, out of the way. The benriDgis formed by the hub of the large wheel running m a thimble or box, three inches lomr, 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 this Mill to be equal to, and m fact superior, m all respects, to any now m use. The fan with wind boards are so arranged that the wind strikes the hurdle m such a manner as to blow all foul stuff and light grain oyer the hurdle. The side spout delivers the No 1 grain 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 Bide spout a greater or less portion of the best grain- The 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 aB they are invaluable to all who wish to market thei 1 * seed m good condition, and thus save the heavy deductions usually made for impurities and foul stuff, and also the extra freight charges and ccsc of cleaning. They also save time, nnd by the thorough and complete work which can be accomplished with them, soon repay the cost incurred m their purchase. To Farmei s raising large quantities of Grain, or Feeds, we •would recommend the No 2 Warehouse Mill, as specially adapted for their use, as the great saving of time wIU compensate for the difference m the first cost. They can ba run by hand as easily as a Farm £izo, although constructed much heavier, and made more durable. Be g aided by the experience of others and order a "Racine Mill." You do&'t want a better record than it has. Read. MA.DE A SPLENDID JOB. I put Borne bags of wheat through last spiiDg , they made a splendid job. A neigh- bour borrowed mine to run through Borne oaty wheat : he was highly pleased wit!h the job they made. — William Blakib, Hillfoofc, Waiwera. NEVER SAW ITS EQUAL: I have only used the " Racine " Mill, as yet, for dressing oats, wheat, and grass seed . It has given me great satisfaction. I have neve seen its equal for grading wheat for seed, and I have seen and helped to work a Rood many. —William Brook, Church Hill, Woiwera. COMPLIMENTARY. I am very much pleased with it.— JOHN < Cameron, Swift Creek, Kelso. COULD NOT HAVE A BETTER CHARACTER. I have given the •♦ Racine " Warehouse Fan Mill a good trial, and it gives every satisfac- tion. I consider it a fiißt-rate article. It cleans and grades grain rapidly and well, is strong, works smoothly, and will, I think, prove durable. It is much superior to ony other machine of the kind I have ever Been. — F. W Mackenzie (the Captain), Pomahbka. BEBT MACHINE OF THE KIND I HAVE EVER SEEN. I have tried it with wheat, oats, and turnip Beed. I can confidently say that it iB all that it claims to be. In fact, it is a Jong way the best machine of the kind I have ever seen. With a larger assortment of riddles, I believe it will dresi m a superior manner any kind of seedb.— William Littlejohn, Waiwera. WOULD NOT LIKE TO WANT ONE NOW— NO ONE SHOULD. I can confidently recommend the " Racine " Fanners to do their work well, ana with extieme facility. I would not by any meant like to want one now, and I think no farme: should.— Davjd Mackenzie, Waiwera.
