ELASTIC TRUSS.
voLTAIC ARMADILLO.
A Wicked Theft.

From HaIs Journal Of Health, january,
1876
Stealing is a very bad 'praetieei but some
larcenles are worse than others. one Oh ohe
monstrous sort Just comes to eur khewiedgc'
Tn the number Of HaIEs journal Of Health for
April, 1875, we published an article entitled |
+" ELBcrRIorrY ANB LFEs, which embodied'l
the result Of a prolonged and careful examina-
ton. on our part, Of the electrical bands and
other appliances called "THE VoLTAIo Ar
MADILLo," invented ard manufactured py NJ
j. Seibert, now of No. S19 Broadway, New I OK.
A pamphlet has been sent to us, seemingiy
published by "The VOLTA Belt Company" oi
Cincinnati, in which our article appears In ois-
torted form, and is made to do duty Tor the
concern which has thus wrested 1t from lts IN
tended purpose. New, we know nothing ABOUT
this 6 Volta Belt Company" or its 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
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 had grammar Our complaint is that by
sion OF our meaning, they have taken from the
" Armadilo" of Mr.. Seibert, which we nave
proven to be valuable, the credit for excellence
which we had so cheerfully given 1t, and have
managed to make us appear to sustain tnelr
own appliances. This we look upon as dis
honesty. and that Of a very wicked 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:
NEW YORK, July 49, 1876
DEAR SIR: 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 have
| expressed to me their entire satisfaction with
them. For weak back in females 1T has been
especially lauded by those for whom pre-
scribed it.
| / am free to state there are many cases OF
| rheumatic and neuralgia character, Tor
which your Bands and Soles offer safe and
almost certain help. 70 one Of those stubborn
! cases Of nervous headache which had gone the
rounds Of doctors and patent medicines, to lit
| tie purpose, l know the Head Band has given
a comfort and ease the patient had actually
despaired of again finding on earth. cheer
