voLTAIC ARMADILLo.
A Wicked Theft.

| IFrom HaiFs journal OF Health, January,
| 1861
Stealing is a very bad practice; but some
larcenles are worse than others. One of the
monstrous sort just co es to our knowledge.
La the number of Halps Journal of Health for
April, 1876, we published an article entnled
ELECTRICITY AND LIFE" which embodied
the result Of prolonged and careful examina-
ton, on our part Of the electrical bands and
other appliances called "THE voLTAIc AR
MADILLo," invented and manufactured by Il.
j. Seibert, now Of No. s19 Broadway, New York
A pamphlet has been sent to us, seemingly
published by 1.-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 it's 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
10 sustain itselfby tricks of this nature We
do not complain that by distorting our Ian
guage, and attaching the name Of our journal
TO the article, they compel us to father some
very had grammar Our coinp amt is that by
emitting words essential 10 a full comprehcn
sionoi our gaming, they have taken from the
" "Armadillo" of Mr.. Seibert, which we have
proven to be valuable, the creeit for excellence
which We h9d so cheerfully given it, and have
manage 10 make us appear to sustain their
own appliances. This we look upon as dis
honesty, and that Of very wicked type. These
devices OF Mr.. Sefbert are used and prescribed
by a 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 note from one of these:
NEW YORK, July 19, 1876
DEAR SIR: have prescribed the voltaic Ar.
madillo in 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 pre-
scribed IL,
am free to state there are many cases Of
rheumatic and neuralgia character, for
which your Bands and Soies offer q safe and
almost certain help. To one OF those stubborn
cases Of nervous headache which had gone the
rounds Of doctors and patent medicines, TO lit
tie purpose, know the Head Band has given
a comfort and ease the patient had actually
despaired of agaln finding on earth. cheer
fully MAKE these statements for the benefit Of
the profession, recommending a trial vf the
Armadillo in all suitable cases.
