A Wicked Theft.

lFrom Halls Journal OF Health. January.
lS76l
Stealing is a very bad practice; bat some
larcenIes are worse than others. One Of the |
Ihonstrpus sort just comes to cur knowledge.
In the number of Halls journal of Health for
April, 1875, we published an article entitled
" ELEcfRIcITY AND LIFR," which embodied
the result Of prolonged and careful examina-
ton, on our part, of the electrical bands and
other appliances called "THE VoLRAIc Ar
MABILLo, !" invented ard manufactured by E.
j. Selbert now of No. $40 Broadway, NewsYork.
A pamphlet has been sent to us, seemingly
published by "The VOLTA Belt Company" ot
Cincinnati, in which our article appears in dis
torted form, and is male to do duty for the
concern which has thus wresbed it from its in
tended purpose. Now, we know Dothtng about
this )" Volta Belt Company" or los belts; bat
we are inclined to look with Suspicion upon
| the products of any house which is cumpeffed
| 10 sustain itself by tricks Of this nature. We
do not complain that by distorling our Ian
guage, and attaching The name Of our journal
60 the article, they compel US 10 father some
very bad grammar. Our complaint is that by
omitting words essential to full comprehen-
sion OF our meaning, they have taken from the
"Armadiilo" OF Mr.. sefbert, which we have
proven to be valuable, the credit for excellence
which we had so cheerfulIy given it, and have
managed to make us appear to sustain their
own appliances. This we look upoh as dis
honesty. and that of 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 note from one OF these:
