A Wicked Theft

Stealing is very bad practice; bu& some
larcenies are worse than others. One Of fhA
monstrous sort just comes TO our knowledge
In the number Of Halrs Journalof Health fox
April, 1875, we published an article entifIea
" "ELEcrRIbITY AND L1FE,n which embodied
the result OF a prolonged and careful examins-
tion, on our part, Of the electrical bands anli
other appliances called .THE voLrAfc An
MADILLo," invented ard manufactured by IS
J. Seibert, now Of No. $40 Broadway, New York /.
A pamphlet has been sent to US, seemingly
published by '.The Volta Belt Company a
Cincinnati, in which our article appears india
torted form, and is made to do duty for tim
concern which has thus wrested it from its fn~
tended purpose. Now, we know nothing ab0at
this "yolta Belt Company or its belts; buA
we are inclined to look with suspicion npoq
the products Of any house which is compeliA
TO sustain itself by tricks Of this nature. We
do not complain that by distoftihg our 1sn-
guage, and attaching the name Of oiir Jorrnd1
to the article, they compel us to father scins
very bad grammar Our complaint is that BIZ
omitting words essential to foil conprchen+
sion Of our meaning, they have taken from -
!. Armadillon Of Mr.. seibert, which we ihasp
proven to be valuable, the credit for excelienca
which we had SO cheerfnlly given il. and hass
managed to make us appear TO snstain tnear
own appliances. This we look upon as dis
honesty. aud that Of q very wicked type. Thess
devices OF Mr.. Seibcrt are used and prescribed
by a large number Of physicians, and ara rs-
lied upon. by many citizens in various form cf
