AN INEXPRESSIBLE BOON TO MOTHERS. Dr Auguste Kursteiner's ELECTRO GALVANIC TEETHING NECKLET Endorsed by the Medical Faoulty 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 bega to draw Special attention to the fact that the material surround- ing the inner ohaln of metallic substances la Impregnated with a obemloal solution, harmless m itaelf, an.l yet containing titanio (overs, whioh generate a continuous light one rent of galvanism, and the Neoklet m consequence contains ail the virtues of a miniature battery, and la therefore not a useless article like so many of the ao-oalled eleotrio appliances, whioh oannot possibly produoe any good results, as they are incomplete m the most eseential requirements, and oannot generate galvanism nor produoe gaivanio effeots. This Neoklet is the outcome of a long-continued series of Investigating experiments by that well-known and eminent scientist and specialist, Dr AogUßte Kursteiner, who is the highest Europesn authority on all diseases of women and children The Lancet, the leading medical journal of the world, says : — •• The fact that the discovery and invention of theao Necklets is announced by Dr Kurstelner Is a sufficient guarantee that a means has at last been discovered whioh will lave 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 Sucoeou In England, on the Continent, and In th» United States, and are now constantly prescribed by the most eminent phyalolans m their daily practice. It is needless to comment on the anxious and sleepless nighta parsed 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 Neoklet during the period of J -.*fin«.rlot Fever, Croup, and UnibJten Vox? iudu-renvitng*om\tnxsßb n <yolnQL QsYMlyYdom, and gladdening the heart of every mother who invokes Its aid, Dr Kursteiner has appointed Messrs CONROD & CO., Auckland, bis sole agents m New Zealand for the oale 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 cost of importation, and is within the reach of all, as one Neoklet will last a life time. At»lde from its many virtues as a remedial md preventive agent, the Necklet 1 a handsome ornament, and will be sent free on reoelpt of One Pound, by posta note, money order, ox registered letter.

Pwptitj Tu-ku nuuiu uaii yonr attention « to this Improved Farm Fanning Mill iirhicß combined all the advantages of the r&nouß Mills now m ust, and also the follow, ng important and greatly needed Improve* Bents :— First.— ln the width of the Mill, it boing wider than most Farm Mills of similar sice, thereby increasing the cleaning capacity to a Large extent. bECOND.— The improved plan of hanging th Bhoe upon strong strap-hinged hangers, thu preventing constant breakage. Third.— ld thematterrt fastening the drum ha head to the poets by means of a castiron lorf circle, and Becnred to the posts by screws (instead of wooden cleats morticed into pouts and held by wooden keys), adding increased strength and durability to the Mill. 'Fourth. — The great advantage of raising or lowering the slide- in the Hopper means of a Bcrew. The ironß aie of the most approved the wheel, pinion, and ahake irons being strong. The gearing is all placed on the in* side of the mill, out of the way. The bearing is 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 oqaal 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 hurdle m such a manner as to blow all fcul stuff and light grain over the hurdle. The side spout delivers the No 1 train at the Bide, and the No 2 gram at the front of the Mill. The grader can be so adjusted as to separate and deliver through the side spont a greater or less portion of the best grain; Ths wheat Bcreens and grader are so arranged as to effectually take out cockle from No 1 and No 1 wheati No Farmer or Dealer should be without one as they are inraluable to all who wish to market then* seed m good condition, and thus save the heavy deductions usually made tor impurities and foul stuff, and also the extra freight charges and cost of oleaning. 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 Grain, or See b. we would recommend tho No 2 Waro- house Mill, aB specially adapted for their übb, as the great saving of time will compensate for the difference m the first cost. They can be run by hand as easily a» a Farm Size, althojgh constructed much heavier, and made more datable, , Be guided by experience of others and ordor a " Bacine Mul.

A neighbor borrowed mine to ran through some oatr wheat ; he was highly pleased with the job they made. — William Blaf b, Hillfort Waiwera. NEVER 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 htve seen and helped te work a good many. — William Brook, Church Hill. Waiwera. COMPLIMENTARY. I am very much pleased with it,— JOHK Oambrok, Bwift Greek, KelßO. COULD NOT BAVB A BETTER CHARACTER. I have given the *' Racine " Warehouse Far Mill a gooi trial, and it gives every Ba'ißiaO' frOD. I consider it «■ first-rate article. II cleans and grades grain rapidly and well, ii BtroDg, works Bmoothly,and will, I think, provi durable. It is much Superior to any othei machine of the kind I have ever seen.— F. W Mackenzie (the Captoin), Pouifthaka, BEST MACHINE OF THE KIND I HAVf EVER BEEN. I have tried it with wheat, oats, and turnij eeed I can confidently Bay that it is all tha it claims to be. In fact, it is a long way tbi best machine of the kind I have ever seen With a larger assortment of riddles, I believi it will drees m a superior manner any kind seeds.— Willum Littlejohn, Waiwera WOULD *>OT LIKE TO WANT ONE NOW— NO ONE saOULD. I can confidently recommend tho " Racine Fannerß te do their work well, and witl extreme facility. I would not by any mean like to want one now, and I think no fame should.— David Mackenzie, Waiwera.
