Dr Auguste Kureteiner's ELECTRO GALVANIC TEETHING NECKLET Endorsed by the Medical Faculty of Europe, And pronounced' by al Leaeiing Physicians The Greatest Discbveiy of the Age IN placing the Electric Necklet before the New Zealand pnbllo the discoverer and proprietor bees to draw Special attention to the fact that the material surround- ug the inner chain of metallic substances .is impregnated with a obemical solution, ;vatmle-_ln \t_elf, »_d yet containing tlxrota whioh generate a continuous light current of galvanism, and the Necklet, m consequence contains ail the virtue, of i miniature battery, and is therefore not a useless article like an many of the. so-called jlectrlc appliances, which cannot possibly produce any good results, as they are incomplete m the most essential requirements, and. cannot generate galvanism nor produce galvanic effects. This Necklet Ia the outcome of a loDg-continued series of Investigating jxperiraenta by that well-known and eminent scientist and specialist, Dr Cognate Kuratelner, who is the highest European authority on all diseases of women and children , :i ■ The Lanoet, the leading medical journal of the world, Baya :— " The fact that the discovery and Invention of theße l\eckl'ets is announced by Dr Kurßteiner Is a sufficient 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 memt Wonderful Success m on the Continent, and m the United States, and are now constantly prescribed by the mo_t eminent physicians In their daily praotice. It is needlesß to comment on the unxious and sleepless nights 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 Necklet during iho period of dentitiou, by its nerve-giving force it warda off and prevents Measles, Whooping Cough, Scarlet Fever, Croup, and Chicken Pox, thus relieving childhood of its martyrdom, and gladdening t/ie heart of every mother who InvOkeß its aid, Dr Kursteiner haß appointed Messrs CONROD & CO., Auokland, his sole agents m New Zealand for the sale of theee Necklets, from vrhom only they oan he 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, a. one Necklet will last a life time. Aside from its many virtues as a remedial and preventive agent, the Necklet i a handsome ornament, and will be sent free on receipt of One Pound, by pbsta vote, money order, or registered letter. No cheques received. Address- J. CONROD&OO., P.O.
