George Jameson AOUVNT ABHRURTO -' AN INEXPRESSIBLE BOON TO MOTHERS. Dr Auguste Kiireteiner's ELECTRO GALVANIC TEETHING NECKLET, Endorsed by the Medical Faculty of Europe, And pronounced by all LoadJnjjr Phyahiana . . The Greatest Discovery of the Age IN placing the Eleotrlo Neoklet before the New Zealand public the discoverer and proprietor begs to draw Special attention to the fact that the material surround- ing the inner chain of metallic Rubatances ia impregnated with a chemical solution, harmless m itself, and yet containing tiianio poverß, which generate a continuous light current of galvanism, and the Necklet m consequence contains ail the virtues of a miniature battery, and is therefore not a useless article like so many of the 80-cal'ed eleotrlo appliances, which cannot possibly produce any good results, as they are Incomplete m the most essential requirements, and cannot generate galvanism nor produce gaivanlo effeotß. * This Neoklet is ' the outcome of a long-continued series of Investigating experiments by that well-known and eminent scientist and specialist, Dr Augußte Kurstelner, who is the highest European authority on all diseases of women and children , The Lancet, the leading medical journal of the world, Bays :— " The fact that the discovery and invention of these Necklets is announced by Dr Kurstelner is a Buffioient 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." 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 m the United States, and are now constantly prescribed by the most eminent physicians m their daily practice. It is 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 relict from pain afforded by the Necklet during the period of dentition, by its nerve-giving fores it wards off and prevents Measles, Whooping Cough, Scarlet Fever, Croup, and Chicken Pox, thus relieving childhood of its martyrdom, and gladdening the heart of every mother who invokes its aid, Dr Kurßteiner has appointed Moswb CONHOD & CO., Auokland, his sole agents m New Zealand for tho sale of thoee Necklets, from vrhom only they can be obtained. The price has been placed at th 6 very lowest possible point point, barely covering the cost of importation, and is within the reach of all, an one Necklet will last a life time. AsUe from its many virtues aa a remedial and preventive agent, the Necklet 1 a handsome ornament, and will bo sent froe on receipt of One Pound, by posta note, money order, or registered letter.
