GRANDMOTHER
USED SAGE TEA
To Darken the Hair and Restore
Gray and Faded Hair to It's
Natural Color.

1t is easier to preserve the color of
the hair than to restore it, although
it is possible to do both. Our grand
mothers understood the secret. They
made a .sage tea" and their dark,
glossy hair long after middle life was
due to this fact. Our mothers have
gray hairs before they are fifty, but
they are beginning TO appreciate the
wisdom of u grandmothers In using
"sage tea" for their hair, and are
fast following suit.
The present generation has the
advantage of the past in that it can
get a ready-to-use preparation called
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Hair Rem
edy. AS a scalp tonic and color re-
storer this preparation Is vastly supe-
rior to the ordinary sage tea" made
by our grandmothers.
The growth and beauty of the hair
depends on a healthy condition of
the scalp. Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur
Hair Remedy quickly kills the dand-
ruff germs which rob the hair of its
life, color and fustre, makes the
scalp clean and healthy, gives the
hair strength, color and beauty, and
makes 1t grow.
