SAGE TEA WILL
DARKEN TIE HAIR
Restore Faded and Gray
Hair to Natural Color;
Remove Dandruf.

There is nothing new about the
idea of using Sage for restoring the
color of the hair. Our grandmothers
kept their hair dark. glossy and
abundant by the use of a simple
- Sage Tea" Whenever their hair
fell out or took on dull, faded or
streaked appearance. they made
brew of Sage leaves. and applied 1t
to their hair with wonderfully bene-
fetal effect.
Nowadays we don't have to resort
to the old-time tiresome method of
gathering the herbs and making the
tea. This is done by skillful chemists
better than we could do 1t ourselves,
and all we have to do is to call for
the ready-made product, Wyeth S
| Sage and Sulphur Hair Remedy, con-
tanning Sage in the proper strength,
with the addition of Sulphur, another
old-time scalp remedy.
| This preparation gives youthful
/ color and beauty to the hair, and is
one of the best remedies you can use
for dandruff, dry, feverish, itching
scalp, and falling hair. Get a fifty
cent bottle from your druggist today,
and you will be surprised at the quick
results. All druggists sell it, under
guarantee that the money will be re-
funded if the remedy is not exactly
as represented. Agent l. Harry
