This Necklet Is the outcome of a long-continued series of investigating experiments by that well-known and eminent sbltitit'isV and sttbbla'li-t, Dr Auguste Kursteiner, who is the highest European authority on ell diseases of women and children The Lanobt, the leading medical journal of the world, says :—•• The faot that J the dlsoovery and Invention of theae Necklets is announced by Dr Kursteiner, bi a t suffibfent guarantee that a means haß at last been discovered whioh will save ihe lives of millions of children, and relieve the anxiety of many mothers. ' '• ■ 7 Although new to New Zealand, these Necklets have been used for the last .five • years with the most Wonderful Success m England, on the Continent, and In the , United States, and are now constantly prescribed by the most eminent physicians m , their daily practice. i It la 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 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 dentitioa, by its nerve giving force it wards off and prevents Measles, Whooping" Oough, Scarlet Fevor, Group, and Chicken Pox, thus relieving ohlldhood of lis martyrdom, and gladdening the heart of every mother who Invokes Its aid, IDr Kursteiner has appointed Messrs CONROD & CO., Auokland, his sole agents m New Zealand for. the sale, of these Necklets, from whom only they can be obtained. The price bas been placed at the very lowest possible point, point, barely covering the cost of importation, and Is within the reaoh of ail, as one Necklet will last a life time. ' Aside from its many virtues as a remedial snd preventive agent, the Necklet! j a handsome ornament, and will be sent free on reoeipt of One Pound, by pstao note, money order, or registered letter.
