BEAUTIFUL HAIR
At SMALL COST
A Simple Remedy Beauties
the HAIR Cures Dandruff,
Stops Falling Hair,

What a pity It is to see so 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 luster If they would but use the
proper treatment. There is no neces-
sity for gray hair under sixty five years
Of age, and there is no excuse for any
one, young or old. having thin, strag-
Cling hair, either full of dandruff or
heavy and rank smelling with ex-
ceSstve oil.
You can bring back the natural color
of your hair In few days and forever
rid yourself of any dandrufY 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.
II you are troubled with dandruff
or itching scalp, or If your hair is
losing its color or coming out, get a
fifty-cent bottle of Wyeths Sage and
Sulphur from your druggist, and notice
the improvement in the appearance OF
your hair after a few days treatment.
