DARKEN the HAIR
NATURALLY WITH
SIMPLE REMEDY

A feeling Of sadness accompanies
the discovery of the first gray hairs
which unfortunately are looked upon
as heralds of advancing age. Gray
hair, however handsome IL may be-
makes a person look old. We all know
the advantages of being young. Aside
from the good impression a youthful
appearance makes on others. simply
knowing that you are looking fit"
gives one courage to undertake 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 color restorer and
scalp tonic as well Our grandmothers
used a Sage Tea" for keeping their
hair dark soft and luxuriant. In
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Hair Rem
edy we have an ideal preparation Of
Sage. combined with Sulphur and
other valuable remedies for dandruff,
itching scalp and thin, weak hair that
is kplit at the ends or constantly COM
ing out A few applications of this
valuable remedy will bring back the
color, and in short time it will re-
move every trace Of dandruff and
greatly improve the growth and ap-
pearance of the hair.
Get a fifty cent bottle from your
druggist today. and notice the differ
ence in your hair after a few days
treatment. All druggists sell Il, under
1 guarantee that the money will be re.
funded " the remedy is not exactly
