GRANDMOTHER
USED SAGE Ten
To Darker the Hair and Re-
store Gray and Faded Hair
to Its NaturaI Color.

1t is easier to preserve the color Of the
hair than TO restore it. although 1t il
possible to do both. Our grandmothers
understood the secret They made
sage tea" and their dark, glossy hair
long after middle life was due to this
fact. Our mothers have gray hairs be-
fore they are fifty, but they are begin
ming to appreciate the vision OF our
grandmothers in using "sage tea" for
their hair and are fast following suit.
The present generation has the adyan-
tage of the past in that it can get
rcady-to-use preparation called Wyeth's
Sage and Sulphur Hair Remedy. As a
scalp tonic and color restorer this prep
aration is vastly superior to the ordinary
sage tea made by our grandmothers.
This remedy is sold under guarantee
that the money will he refunded if it
fails to do exactly as represented.
This preparation is offered to the
public at fifty cents a bottle. and is
recommended and sold by all druggists.
