IF SKIN BREAKS OUT
BURNS AND ITCHES
APPLY THIS SULPHUR

Just the moment you apply
Mentho-Sulphur to an itching, burn

preparation, made into pleasant
cold cream, gives such quick re-
lief, even to fiery eczema, that moth

place.
Because of its germ destroying pro

Muldoon in his earlier career, was
accounted one Of the greatest handlers
and conditioners of boxers in the
country, and he prepared John l..
Sullivan for MS bout with Jake Kill
rain, one of the historic events OF
American fistiana.
He was talking of that battle and
of his work with Sullivan not long
ago. Bat Masterson, now enc OF the
famous sport writers of the country,
was timekeeper and umpire for Kill
rain on that occasion.
The Sullivan kilrain fight took
place at Richburg, Miss, July 8, 1889,
and was won by Sullivan in seventy
five rounds.
In March of 1889 Phil Kearney, ST..
and Phil Dwyer, the noted horseman,
who were Sullivan's< hackers, sent for
Muldoon. They had $4,000 forfeit up,
which Richard K. Fox had covered
for Kilrain, and they were supposed
to put up $4,000 additional to COM
plete the stake Of 100000.
Meantime, they had sent two doc
tors to Boston to examine Sullivan,
and these doctors reported that the
champion was in a bad way, ana
would never rise from his sick bed.
Sullivan's kidneys were reported
gone, and he had the dropsy SO bad
the local physician was tapping his
leg daily, and drawing off a pint or
more of water. Naturally, Kearney
and Dwyer were inclined to question
the wisdom of putting up the balance
