Restore Gray Hair
to Natural Color
BY Common Garden Sage, a
Simple Remedy for Dandruff,
Falling, Faded Gray Hair.

The old idea OF using sage for darken-
ing the hair is again coming in vogue.
Our grandmothers used to have dark.
glossy hair at the age OF seventy-five.
while our mothers have white hair before
they are fifty. Our grandmothers used
to make a sage tea" and apply 1t to
their hair. The tea made their hair soft
and glossy and gradually restored the
natural color.
One objection to using such a prepare
ton was the trouble OF making IL. espe-
cially as IL had to be made every two or
three days on account OF SourinE
quickly. This objection has. been over
come, and by asking almost any first
class druggist for Wyeth's Sage and Sui
phur Hair Remedy the public can get a
superior preparation OF sage, with adnlix-
ture OF sulphur. another valuable rem
edy for hair and scalp troubles. Daily
use Of this preparation will not only
quickly restore the color OF the hair. but
will also stop the hair from falling out
and make it grow.
Use It and sec for yourself how quickly
dandruff goes and gray hairs vanish.
This preparation is offered 10 the public
at fifty cents a bottle. and Is recon-
mended and sold by all druggists.
