The Declaration of Independence Saved by a Woman. In an historical article recalling the de? struction of oar National capital by the British forces in ?814, Clifford Howard in tbe Joly Ladies' Home Journal will'show that Dolly Madison, tbe most beloved and popo .' lar woman of ber day, was courageous and fearless in tbe face of grave danger. In the mad stampede from Washington, that pre? ceded tbe iavasioo by the British troops, Dolly Madison was tbe las: to seek safety in dight, sad ber fina! act before quitting the Wbite Hoose, as tbe enemy advanced, was to seize the Declaration of Independence and carry it with her to a pince of safety. As the White House v/as immediately afterward looted and horned by tbe British, Mr How? ard declares that bot for brave Dolly Madison tbe priceless parchment would nave been destroyed. Mr. Isaac Horner, proprietor of tbe Bur? ton Hoose. Burton, W. Va , and oas of the most widely known men io the state, was chared of rheumatism after three years of suffering. He says : "1 have not sufficient command of language to convey any idea cf what I soffered, my physicians told me that nothing could be done for me, and my friends were folly convinced that nothing but death would relieve me of my sofleriog. Io June, 1894, Mr. Evans, then salesman for tbe Wheeling Drug Co., recommended Cham- ? ber iain's Pain Balm. At this time my foot and limb were swollen to more than double their normal s>ze and* it se; med to me try leg would burst, bat soon after I began using the Pain Balm the swelling began to de? crease, tbe pain to leave, and now 1 consider tbat I am entirely cured.
