Stealing is n very bad practice; but some
larcenies arc worse than others. One of the
monstrous sort just comes to our knowledge.
In the number Of HALLS Journal of Health for
April, 1875, we published an article entltlcd
"ELEcTRIoITY AND LIFE" which embodied
the result OF prolonged and careful examina-
tion, on our part, of the electrical bands anu
other appliances called "THE VoLTAIc AR
hADILLo," invented and manufactured by E.
j. Seibert, now of No $40 Broadway, New York.
A pamphlet has been sent to us, seemingly,
published by "The Volta Belt Company of
| Cincinnati, in which cur 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" OF its belts: but
| we arc 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 distortihg 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 full eomprehen-
| sion OF our meaning, they have taken from the
Armadillo" 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 to sustain tnei
own appliances. This we look upon as dis
honesty. and that Of o very wicked type. These
devices of Mr.. Seibert are used and prescribed
| by large number Of physicians, and are re-
| lied upon by many citizens in various form of
J nervous disease. We know the opinions OF
several leading members Of the profession, and
are glad to publish note from one OF these:
