What a pity it is to see 80 many
people with thin, wispy hair, faded or
streaked with gray, and realize that
most of these people might have soft,
glossy, abundant hair of beautiful color
and lustre if they would but use the
proper treatment. There is no neces-

of age, and there is no excuse for any
one, young or old, having thin, stragg-
ling hair, either full OF dandruf or
heavy and rank smelling with ex-
cessive oil.
You can bring back the natural color
of your hair in q few days and forever
rid yourself of any dandruff and loose
hairs, and make your hair grow strong
and beautiful by using Wyeth's Sage
and Sulphur Hair Remedy. For gener-
atoms common garden Sage has been
used for restoring and preserving the
color of the hair; and Sulphur is recog-
nized by Scalp Specialists as being
excellent for treatment Of hair and
scalp troubles. -.
If you are troubled with dsndruff

CAREFUL MANS OPINION.

Business men are careful about
what they say--it is part of their
training. Therefore when Mr.. ]. G.
Clarke. business man of West
chester, N. Y, answered a question
about his greatly improved health
his opinion may be considered cor
rect.
He said Having been troubled
with bad cough and bronchitis for
nearly year, decided to take
Vinol short time ago. The cough
has now disappeared and my health
is very much improved.
II certainly consider Vinol a val
liable remedy and should be kept in
every home-until people try it they
don t. know its value
Thousands of other intelligent
people praise Vinol simply because
they have found it just what they
needed to drive away lingering
coughs and build up their health
and strength.
Vinol is delicious liver and iron
preparation without oil, and Is the
greatest strength remover for all
who are weak and run down. We
guarantee it to give perfect salts
