A Wicked Theft.

From Halls Journal OF Health, January.
Stealing is a very bad practice; but some
larcenies are worse than others. One Of tho
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 LfFE," which embodied
the result of prolonged and careful examine
ton, on our part, of the electrical bands and
other appliances called "THE VoLTAIc AR
MADILLo," invented ard manufactured by E.
j. Seibert now of No. s1g Broadway, New York
A pamphlet has been sent to us, seemingly
published by "The Vol.a 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 ii from its 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 itself by tricks of this nature. We
do not complain that by distorring our Ian
guage, and attaching lhs name Of our journal
10 the article, they compel us to father some
very bad grammar. Our complaint Is that by
emitting words essential to full comprehen-
sion oil 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 their
ownapplances. This we look upon as dis
honesty, and that Of a very wicked type. These
devices OF Mr.. Seibtrt are used and prescribed
ny 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 l8, 1875.
DEAR SIR: have prescribed the Voltaic Ar
madillo in a 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 lt>has been
especially lauded by those for whom 1 pre-
Iscribed it,
4 1 am free to state there are many cases Of
a rheumatic and neuralgia character, for
which your Bands and Soes 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 lit"
tie purpose, know the Head Band has given
a comfort and ease the patient had actually
,lespared of again finding on earth. cheer
fully make these sta ements for the benefit OF
the profession, recommending trial Of the
Amadillo in all suitable cases.
