GRANDMOTHER
USED sage TEA
To Darker The Hair And Restore
Gray And Faded Hair To Its
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 our grandmothers in using
sage tea for their hair and are fast
following suit.
The present generation has the ad-
vantage of the past in that 1t can get
a ready-to-use preparation called
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Hair Rem
edy. AS scalp tonic and color re-
storer this preparation is vastly su-
perior to the ordinary sage tea" maue
by our grandmothers.
The growth and beauty of the hair
depends on healthy condition of the
scalp. Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur
Hair Remedy quickly kills the dan
druff germs which rob the hair of its
life, color and 'ustre. makes the scalp
clean and healthy, gives the hair
strength, color and beauty, and makes
it grow. s.is
