Mrs. Clare Shaw of Providence Used
 Wonderful Remedy.

Mrs. Clare Shaw of 493' Dexter St., Providence, R. l., was a sufferer from stomach and liver troubles for many years. She was treated both in the United States and abroad. She un- derwent an operation. Still she suf- fered.
 Then she took Mayr's Wonderful Remedy and found swift relief. In a letter telling of her case she said:
 T received your sample treatment the day before Christmas and it saved my life. for I was almost gone. I had an inflammation that got right up in my throat and seemed to choke me. My neighbors say it is a miracle, as they know how I suffered. I am bet ter now than have been for 20 .years.''
 Mayr's Wonderful Remedy gives per- manent results for stomach, liver and intestinal ailments. Eat as much and whatever you like. No more distress after eating, pressure of gas in the stomach and around the heart. Get one bottle of your druggist now and try it on an absolute guarantee-if not satis- factory money will be returned.

 In her address Miss Todd said:
 Some people have tried to convince me that we have two kinds of human nature in America-Eastern human nature and Western human nature. This has not been my experience. We Western men and women may differ in surface qualities, manner speech, or dress, but East and West the great underlying principles of liberty and justice meet with the same response on the Pacific coast as well as the At Iantic. And I believe that the same kind of man who voted no in Califor- mia will vote against justice to women
