hopeless misery caused by rheumatic pain.
He saw arms and leggs stiffened in pain

had been struck by shells. He consecrated
himself to this problem with every ounce
of his strength

formula is called RUX Compound.

Within four minutes after you take dose Of
RUX it will begin to be absorbed into your blood
stream. These amazing salicyIates reach your in

Some people who have tried RUX were
so tortured with rheumatic pain in arms,

MIKE JACOBS CONVINCED THAT

CHICAGO, July 20.-(ANP)--.
Mike Jacobs seems to have finally
become convinced that John Rox-
borough and Julian Black meant It
June 80 when they said Joe Louis
would not defend his heavyweight
title any more this year.
Last week Joe made a hurried trim
by plane to New York and talked to
Jacobs, then flew back here next
day. Louis is understood to have
said that he was ready and willing
to fight anybody anytime, but Mike
would have to see his managers.
Thursday Julian talked by tele-
phone to the boxing promoter and
reiterated his statement that they
didn't care to have Louis fight again
during 1888.
Roxborough said, He has defend
ed the championship three times this
year, and we feel he deserves a rest,
Mike wants to arrange Max Baer-
Louis contest in Chicago or New
York for September, but we believe
such match would be bigger at
traction in San Francisco next April.
