ELECTRIC REMEDY.
A Wicked Theft.

[From Halls Journal of Health. January,
1851
Stealing Is a very bad practice; but some
larcenies are worse than others. One of ths
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 a prolonged and careful examina-
tion, on our part, of the electrical bands and
other appliances called "THE VoLTAIo AR
MADILLo," invented and manufactured by Il
j. .Seibert, now of No. $40 Broadway, New York.
A pamphlet has been stnt to us, seeminglE
published by "The Volta Belt Company" oil
Cincinnati, in which our article appears in dis,i
torted form, and is made to do duty for the
concern which has thus wrested it from It's in-
tended purpose. Now, we know nothing about
this volta Belt Company" or its belts; bus
we are 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 distorting our Lana
guage, and attaching the name Of our journal
to the article, they compel us to father soma
very bad grammar. Our complaint is that by
omitting words essential to full comprehen-
sion Of our meaning, they have taken from the
"Armadillo" of Mr.. Seibert, which we ihava
proven to be valuable, the credit for excellence
which we had 30 cheerfully given it, and haya
managed to make us appear to sustain their
own appliances. This we look upon as dis
honesty, and that Of 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
nervous disease. We know the opinions OF
several leading members OF the profession, and
are glad to publish note from one OF theses
NEW YORK, July 10, 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 hava
expressed to me their entire satisfaction with
them. For weak back in females 1t has been
especially lauded by those for whom pre-
scribed 1t,
/ am free to state there are many cases Of
a rheumatic and neuralgia character, f0E
which your Bands and Soles offer safe and
almost certain help. To one Of those stubborn
cases Of nervous headache which had gone tha
rounds Of doctors and patent medicines, to lit
tie purpose, 1 know the Head-Band has given
comfort and ease the patient had actually
despaired Of again finding on earth. cheer-
fully make these statements for the benefit OF
the profession, recommending trial VI the
Armadillo In all suitable cases.
