and accomplish things. So why suffer
the handicap of looking old on account
Of gray hairs, when a simple remedy
will give your hair youthful color and
beauty in a few days time?
Most people know that common gar
den sage acts as a color restorer and
scalp tonic as well. Our grandmoth
ers used a Sage Tea" for keeping
their hair dark, soft and luxuriant. In
