HE PICTURE on the other side of this card depicts an incident of
momentous importance in the History of the United States.
In the latter days of June, 1776, Congress appointed a committee to
draft a protest against the oppression under which the Colonists were
suffering, and to declare their freedom from the rule of their former
sovereign. This paper became famous through all ime as

THE DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE.

The Committee consisted of five members who appointed a sub-
committee of three, consisting of Franklin, Adams and Jefferson, to
which was intrusted the Baek git gute of this important document.

Jefferson was selected by this committee to make the actual draft
and our picture shows him standing, waiting the opinion of his fellow
eommittee men when he had completed the final draft. The scattered
papers about the table and floor show how difficult it was for him to
combine thought and that emgnaees which, in its simplicity and vigor
stands unequalled in the English language. _

Benjamin Franklin, sitting to the left, is carefully reading the
draft as it has been presented to him, while Adams is intently listening.

This scene took place in Jefferson’s rooms, which he rented, in the
second story of the residence of a Mr. Graaf, at the southwest corner of.
Seventh and Market streets, Philadelphia: at that time on the outskirts
of the city. This building was standing until a few years ago when it
was demolished to make place for a bank. , |

Through the windows atthe back of Franklin can be seen the tower
of the State House, where the Declaration was signed on the Fourth of
July, where the Liberty Bell announced their action to the waiting

citizens and where it now has its resting place.

At the time of this incident Jefferson was Only 33 years old, while
Adams was 41 and Franklin 70.. The first two lived to see the country
which they had served so well oo into prosperity, and by a curious
coincidence they both died on the fiftieth anniversary of the signing of

the Declaration, July 4, 1826.

We have prepared an enlarged copy of this card suitable for framing,
15220 inches, on which there is no advertising matter. This picture will be
sent securely packed in a mailing tube, upon the recetpt of twenty-five cents

in stamps or silver.

Dr. D. Jayne's Benign 4 Medicines were first offered to the public in
1830 and have retained the confidence that they inspired throngh all

the 79 years that have followed.
They are not experiments, but are the result of Dr. Jayne's wide

experience as a physician, and of his years of ge and careful obser-
vation of the action of drugs in the treatment of disease.

These medicines are compounded today with the same accuracy of
measurement and the same eare in the selection of ingredients as Dr.
Jayne employed, and while not “Cure-alls” they have been the most
uniformly successful ready-made medicines before the public for the
relief and cure of those diseases for which they are recommended.

They are

affections. 2
