v0LTAIC A1RMADILLo.
A Wicked Theft.

[From Halls journal OF Health, january,
Stealing is very bad practices; but some
monstrous sort just comes to our knowledge
In the number of Halls Journal Of Health 6ou
"ELECTRIUITY AND LIFE" which embodied
the result of a prolonged and careful examina-
ton, on our part, Of the electrical bands and
other appliances called "THE VoLEAIc Ar
MAnILLo," invented ard manufactured by Il.
j. Seibert. now of No. $40 Broadway, New York.
A 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 made 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" orits belts: but
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
dc not complain that by distoreing our lam
guage, and attaching the name of our journal
TO the article, they compel lis to father some
very bad grammar. Our complaint is that by
emitting words essential to "a full comprehen-
sion OF eur meaning, they have taken from the
"Armadiilo" OF MIR. Seibert, which we have
proven to be valuable, the credit for excellence
which we had SO cheerflnly given it, and have
managed to make us appear to sustain their
own appliances. This we look upon as dis
honesty, and that Of a very wicket 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 q note from one of these:
NEW YORK, July l3, 1875
