A Wicked Theft.

From Halls Journal Of Health. January.

Stealing is very bad practicei but some
larcenIes are worse than others. One OF the
monstrous sort just comes to our knowledge.
In the number Of Halls journal OF Health forl
April, 1915, we published an article entitled
"ELHCTRICITY AND LIRE," which embodied
the result Of a prolonged and careful examina-
ton, on our part, Of the electrical bands and
other appliances called "THB yoLTAIc AR-I
MkDILLo," invented ard manufactured by ~.
j. seibert, now of No. SgBroadway, New York.
pamphlet has been sent TO US, seemingly
published by "The VOlta Belt Company" Of
Cincinnati, in which our article appears In dis
tOrted form, and is maize to do duty for the |
concern which has thus wrested it from its in
tended purpose. Now, we know nothing about
this Volta Belt Company" or its belts: hut1
we are inclined TO look with suspicion upon
the products Of any house Which is compelled
10 sustain itself by tricks of this nature. WEI
do not complain that by distorting our Ian
guage, and attaching the name Of our journal
TO the article, they compel us to father some
very bad grammar. our complaint is that by

proven to be valuable, the credit for excellence,

managed to make us appear to sustain their
own appliances. Ihis we look upon as dis
+, honesty. and that OF a very wicked type. These
devices OF Mr.. Seibcrt are used and prescribed
! Dy large number of physcians, 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

DEAR SIR: have prescribed tine Voltaic Ar
madillo in a number OF cases OF weakness OF

Of nervous affections, and the patients have
expressed 10 me their entire abstraction with
them. For weak back in females 1t has been
especially Iauded by those for whom 1 pre-
scribed it.
/ am free to state there are many cases OF
a rheumatic and neuralgia character. for
| which your Bands and soles 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 llt-
tie purpose, know the Head Band has given
. comfort and ease the patient had actually
despaireL of again finding on earth. cheer
fully maze these statements for the benefit OF
the profession, recommending trial VI the
AmadilIo in all suitable cases.
