SAGE RESTORES
GRAY HAIR TO
NATURAL COLOR

The old idea of using sage for
darkening the hair is again coming
In vogue. Our grandmothers used to
have dark, glossy hair at the age of
70, while our mothers. have white
hair before they are so. Our grand
mothers used to make sage tea"
and applied it to their hair. The tea
made their hair soft and glossy, and
gradually restored the natural color.
One objection to using such a
preparation was the trouble Of max
ing 1t, especially as 1t had to be made
every two or three days, on account
Of souring quickly. This objection
has been overcome, and by asking al
most any first-class druggist for
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Hair Rem
edy the public can get a superior
preparation Of sage, with the ad-
mixture of sulphur, another valuable
remedy 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.
Get bottle from your druggist
today. Use it and see for yourself
how quickly dandruff goes, and gray
hairs vanish.
This preparation is offered to the
public at so cents a bottle, and is
recommended and sold by all drug
gists. Special Agent, ]. c. Perry.
