beauty will Offset the disadvantages
of this mark of age set upon your
brow.

a delightful dressing for the hair,
and which not only removes every
trace of dandruff but promotes the
growth Of the hair. It also stops the
hair from falling out, and makes it
beautiful.
All druggists are authorized to re-
fund the money if it fails to do ex-
actly as represented.
Don't neglect your hair and don t
resort to old-time hair dyes. Get a
bottle of Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur
from your druggist today, and notice
the difference in your hair after a
few days use
This preparation is offered to the
public at fifty cents bottle, and is
recommended and sold by all drug
gists.
