A Wicked Theft

Stealing is very bad practice; but some
| lareeafes are worse than others. One Of me
mon strous sort just comes TO our knowledge
In the number of HaIl,s journal of Health for
April, 1875, we published an az ticle entitled
a aELEerRTcrTY AND IaFE,n which embodied
the result of prolonged and careful exam1ua-
tion, on our part, OF the electrical bands 2no
other appliances called "THE VoLTAIc Ar
uADILLo,n invented ard manufactured by Es
J. Seibert, now of No. s19Broadway. New York.
pamphlet has been sent TO as, seeminRiy
published by ssThe 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. Vow, we know nothing apouI
this ssVolta Belt Company" rorits belts: but
we are inclined to look with suspicion upon
the products OF any house which Us compelled
TO sustain itself by tricks Of this nature. ~
do not, complain tnat by distortipg our lam
gncge, and attaching the name or our journal
to the article, they compel us to father some
very bad grammar Onr complaints is that py
emitting words essential to a full eemprehen-
sion OF our meaning, they have taken. from Ahe
h. Armadillo''. of MI. ssibert. which we shaya
proven to be valuable, the credit forexceflenee
which we had SO .cheerfully giyenft, and nave
managed to make a1s appear ITO sustain their :
own appliances This we look upon as dis
honesty. and thato a. very wicket type. These
deyices Of sseibertarelnseds and prescribed
by a large number of physicfans, and are re-
lied upon by many citizens in various form on
nervous disease We know the opinions OF
several leading members Of the.prdfession, and
are glad to publish note from one OF these:
NEW YORK, July 10, 1875.
DEAR SrR: I'have prescribed the Voltaic Ar
madillo in number of cases Of Weakness Of
the back, rheumatism, and several other forms
Of nervous affections, and the patients hav6 !.
expressed to me their entire satisfaction with
them. For weak back in females 1t has ibsen
especially ,lauded by those for whom pre-
scribed it, 4f
/ am free TO state there are many cases OF
a rheumatic and neuraigic character, for
which your Bands and Soies offer a 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 Int
tie purpose, I know the Head Band has gixSn
a comfort and ease the patient had actllaily
despaired Of again finding on earth IeheaT-
fully make these statements for the benefit Of
the profession, recommending a trial iof tho
Armadilio in all suitablecases. f
