A Wicked Theft.


[From Halls Journal Of Health. January.
1916.
Stealing is very bad practice; but some
larcenles arc worse than others. One OF ths
monstrous sort just comes to our knowledge
In the number of Halls journal of Health fo1
April, 1875, 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 and
other appliances called "THE VoLTAIO ARs
MADILLo," invented ard manufactured by b.
j. Sebert, 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 our article appears In dis
torted form, and is made to do duty for the
concern which has thus wrested it from its ins
tended purpose. Now, we know nothing about
this "Volta Belt Company" or its belts: but
we are inclined to look with suspicion upoa
the products OF any house which is compelled
TO sustain itself by tricks Of this nature va
do not complain that by distorting our Land
guage, and attaching the name Of our journal
to the article, they compel us to father soms
very bad grammar. Our complaint is that bJ
emitting words essential to o full comprehenx
sion OF our meaning, they have taken from thu
"Armadillo" of Mr.. Seibert, which we have
proven to be valuable, the credit for excelleuot
which we had SO cheerfully given it, and have
managed to make us appear to sustain theit
own appliances. This we look upon as dis
honesty. and that Of very wicked type. These
devices Of Mr.. Seibtrt are used and prescribed
by largo number Of physicians, and are re-
lied upon by many citizens In various form u
nervous disease We know the opinions Of
several leading members Of the profession, and
are glad to publish note from one Of thesoi
NEW YORK, July 1s, 1s7G
DEAR SIR: have prescribed the Voltaic Ar.
madillo in number Of cases Of weakness oA
the back, rheumatism, and several other formt
Of nervous affections, and the patients have
expressed to me their entire satisfaction witA
them. For weak back in females 1t has beoH
especially lauded by those for whom pre-
scribed IL,
am free to state there are many cases Of
a rheumatic and neuralgia character, fot
which your Bands and Soles offer 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 llts
tie purpose, I know the Head Band has givea
o comfort and ease the patient had actually
despaired Of again finding on earth. cheef*
fully make these statements for the benefit Of
the profession, recommending . trial Uf the
Armadillo in all suitable cases.
