VOLTAIC ARMADILLO.
A Wicked Theft.

From Halls journal OF Health, January
1861
Stealing is very bad practice; but SOME
larcenies are worse than others. One Of tina
monstrous sort Just comes to our knowledgaS
In the number of Halls journal of Health for
April, 1915, we published an article entitle@
ELECTRICITY AND LIFE," which embodte&
tho result of prolonged and careful eXaminRSl
ton, on our part, OF the electrical bands an&
other appliances called "THE VoLTAIo ARG
MADILLo," invented ard manufactured by vi
J. Seibert, now OF No. $40 Broadway, New YorkSS
A pamphlet has been sent to us, seeminglE
published by "The VOLTA Belt Company" OF
Cincinnati, in which our article appears 10 dia4i
torted form, and is made to do duty for tho
concern which has thus wrested it from its in4
tended purpose. Now, we know nothing abouR
this "Yolta Belt Company" or its belts; buE
We are inclined to look with suspicion upoR
the products OF any house which is compelled
10 sustain itself by tricks Of this nature. We
do not complain that by distorting our lane
guage, and attaching the name Of our journal
to the article, they compel us to father some
very bad grammar Our complaint is that bN
omtting words essential to a full comprehensl
sion of our meaning, they have taken from thu
"Armadillo" 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 thelr
own appliances. This we look upon as dis,
| honesty, and that of a very wicked type. These
devices of Mr.. Seibert are used and prescribe&
by large number of physicians, and are re7
| lied upon by many citizens in various form Oh
nervous disease We know the opinions OF
several leading members of the profession, and
| are glad to publish note from one Of these:
NEW YoRK, July 10, 1875. :
| DEAR SIR: have prescribed the Voltaic Arr
msdillo In a number Of cases of weakness OK
the back, rheumatism, and several other forms
Of nervous affections, and the patients have
expressed to me their entire satisfaction with

especially lauded by those for whom prs-
scribed it,
i am free 10 state there are many cases OF
q 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 ht~
tie purpose, know the Head Band has giyeA
q comfort and ease the patient had actually
despaired of again finding on earth eheer+
fully make these statements for the beneht OF
the profession, recommending trial VI tha
Armadillo in all suitable cases.
