Stealing is O very bad practice; but soma
larcenies are worse than others. One OF tn
monstrous sort just comes to our knowiedse
In the number of Halls Journal OF Heaith iA
April, 1875, we published an article entisieQ
"ELECTRICITY AND LIFE" when empouA"s
the result of prolonged and careful examins
ton, on our part, Of the electrical bands aha
other appliances called "THE VoLTAIo Ar
MADILLo," invented ard manufactured by n
J. Seibert, now Of No. $40 Broadway, New Yorikr
pamphlet has been sent to us, seemingit
published by "The Volta Belt Company" OF
Cincinnati, in which our article appears In dis
torted form, and is made to do duty for thu
concern which has thus wrested it from its inz
tended purpose. Now, we know nothing about
this " Volta Belt Company" or its belts: bud
we are inclined to look with suspicion upoA
the products of any house which is compelisd
to sustain itself by tricks Of this nature. We
do not complain that by distorting our lan-
guage, and attaching the name of our Journal
to the article they compel us to father somN
very bad grammar. Our complaint is that by
omitting words essential To a full comprehen-
sion OF our meaning, they have taken from tho
" Arma madillo" 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 theix
own appliances. This we look upon as dis
honesty, and that Of o very wicked type Ipese
devices of Mr.. Seibert are used and prescribed
by large number Of physicians, and are re-
lied upon by many citizens in various form OK
| nervous disease. We know the opinions ox
several leading members Of the profession, and
| are glad to publish note from one Of these:
NEW YORK, July IS, 1875.
DEAR SIR: I have prescribed the Voltaic Ar.
madillo in a number of cases Of weakness cf
the back, rheumatism, and several other forma
Of nervous affections, and the patients have
expressed to me their entire satisfaction with
them. For weak back in females 1t has been
especially lauded by those for whom pro-
scribed it.
l am free to state there are many cases o1
q rheumatic and neuralgia character, fo1
which your Bands and Soles offer safe ana
almost certain help To one Of those stubborn
cases Of nervous headache which had gone thu
rounds of doctors and patent medicines, to hs'
tic purpose, know the Head Band has given
a comfort and ease the patient had actually
despaired of again finding on earth. cheer
fully make these statements for the benefit d
the profession, recommending trial Vt TIL
Armadillo in oil suitable cases.
