voLTAIC ARMADILLo.
A Wicked Theft.

[From Halls Journal OF Health. January.
1851
Stealing is very bad practice; but some
lareenies are worse than others. One of the
monstrous sort just comes to our knowledge.
In the n,uaber of Halls Journal of Health for
April, 1876, we published an article entitled
" "ELECTRICITY AND LIFE" which embodied
the result Of a prolonged and careful examina.
tion, on our part, of the electrical bands ana
other appliances called "THE voLTAfo AR
MADILLo," invented ard manufactured by e.
j. Seibert, now Of No. s1g Broadway, New York.
A pamphlet has been sent to US, seemingly
published by 'The VOLTA Belt Company Of
Cincinnati, in which our article appears in dis
torted form, and is made to do duty for the
concern which has thus wrested it from its in
tended purpose. Now, we know nothing about
this " Volta Belt Company or its belts: but
we are inclined to look with suspicion upon
the products of any house which is compelled
TO sustain itself by tricks of this nature. We
do not complain that by distorting our Lam
guage, and attaching the name Of our journal
TO the article, they compel us to father some
very bad grammar. Our complaint is that by
emitting words essential to a full comprehen-
sion OF our meaning, they have taken from the
6 Armadillo" of MFR. Seibert, which we have
proven to be valuable, the credit for excellence
which we had so cheerfuily given it, and have
managed to make us appear to sustain their
own appliances. THIS we look upon as dis
honesty, and that of a very wicked type. These

by large number Of physicians, and are re-
lied upon by many citizens in various form Of
nervous disease. We know the opinions Of
several leading members of the profession, and
are glad to publish a note from one OF these;
NEW YORK, July l3, 1876.
DEAR SIR: Ihave prescribed the Voltaic Ar
madillo IN q number Of cases of weakness of
the back, rheumatism, and several other forms
of nervous affections, and the patients have
expressed to me their entire satisfaction with
them, For weak back in females 1t has been
especially lauded by those for whom l pre-
scribed it.
I am free to state there are many cases Of
rheumatic and neuralgia character, for
which your Bands and Soles offer safe and
almost certain help To one Of those stubborn
| rounds Of DOCTORS and patent medicines, to lIt-
tie purpose, know the Head Band has given
comfort and ease the patient had actually
| despaired of again finding on earth. cheer
| fully make these statements for the benefit Of
the profession, recommending trial of the
Armadillo in all suitable eases.
