voLTAIC ARMADILLo.
A Wicked Theft.


From Halls Journal of Health. January,
Stealing is a very. bad practice; but soma
larcenies are worse than Others. One, OF tbs
monstrous sort just comes to our knowledge
In the number of Halls Journal Of Health for
April, 1875 we. published an article entitled
" ELECTRICITY AND LIFE which embodied
the result OF prolonged andcareful examinar
ticn, on our part, of the electrical bands and
other appliances called "THB vouTkIe ar
MhDILLo," invented ard manufactured by E.
j. Sebert, nowof No. $40 broadway, N eva York
A pamphlet has been sent to us, seemingly
published by s'The VOLTA Belt Company" Of
Cincinnati, in which our article appears in dis
torted form, and is made to do duty for tho
concern which has thus wrested II from it's I'M
tended purpose, Now, we know nothing abont
this I" Volta Belt Company" or its belts: but
we are inclined to look with suspicion upop
the products of any house which is compelled
TO sustain itself by tricks Of this nature We
do not complain that by distorting our 1an-
guage, and attaching shs name of our journal
to the article, they compel US TO- father some
very bad grammar. Our complaint is by
emitting words essential to a full comprehen-
sion OF our meaning, they have-taken' from the
j." Armadillo" of Mr.. Seibert, which we have
proven to be valuable. the credit for. .sxcellencs
which we had 80 cheerfully giyenit, 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
devices OF Mr.. Seibert 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 a note from one of these;
