[ From HALLS Journal Of neaun, January,
1871
Stealing ~ very bad practice; bat some
larcenies are worse than Others. One Of the
niopatrous sort just comes 70 our know1edge,
In the number OF Hall,s Journal Of HeaIah for
April, ls7s. we published an article entitled
"ELEoTRIoIFT AND LIFE.n which embodied
the result OF prolonged and careful exanina-
taen, On our part, OF the electrical bands and
other appliances called "THE VoLTAIC AR
MADILLo," invented ard manufactured by Il.
y. 6eibcrt, now Of No. $40 Broadway. New Yorh.
A pafnphiet 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: hut
we are inclined TO look with suspicion upon
the products Of any house which is compelled
10 sustain ITSELF by tricks OF this nature. We
do not complain that by distoriing our Ian
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 u full comprehen-
sion of our meaning, they have taken from the
"Armadillon of Mr.. Seibert, which we have
proven TO be valuable, the credit for excellence
which we had SO cheerfully given it, and have
managed to make us appear tosustain their
own appliances. This we look upon as dis
honesty. and that Of very wicked type. These
devices OF Mr.. Seib:rt 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 Is, 1875.
DEAR SIR: I have prescribed the VoltaicsAr-
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 it,
I am free to state there are many cases OF
| a rheumatic and neuralgic character, for
which your Bands and Soles offer O safe anG
almost certain help. To one of those stubborn
cases of nervous headache which had gone tina
rounds Of doctors and patent medicines, to Int.
tie purpose, know thu. Head Band has given
comfort and ease the patient had actually
dsspaired of again finding on earth. cheer
fully make these statements for the benefit .oi
| the profession, recommending a trial Vt the
Armadino in all suitable cases. u
