This time it is State Entomosogist

too true for a part of the state. He
says that the disease known as

many localities, due probably to the
excessive rains, and is running this

DON'T PULL OUT
THE GRAY HAIRS
A Simple Remedy VIII Bring Back The
Natural Color.

Pull out one gray hair and dozen
will take its place is an old say say
ing, which is, to a great extent, true,
if no steps are taken to stop the
cause. When gray hairs appear it is
a sign that Nature needs assistance.
1t is Natures call for help. Gray hair,
dull. lifeless hair, or hair that is fall
ing out. is not necessarily sign of
advancing age, for there are thous
ands of elderly people with perfect
heads of hair without single streak
of gray.
N,uen gray hairs come, or when the
nair seems to be lifeless or dead, some
good, reliable hair-restoring treatment
should be resorted to at once. Special
lists say that one of the best prepare
tons to use is the old-fashioned sage
tea" which our grandparents used
The best preparation of this kind IS
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Hair Rem
edy. a preparation of domestic sage
and sulphur, scientifically compound
ed with later discovered hair tonics
and stimulants, the whole mixture be-
ing carefully balanced and tested by
experts.
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur is clean
and wholesome and perfectly harm
less. 1t refreshes dry, parched hair
removes dandruff and gradually re-
stores faded or gray hair to its natural
color.
Don't delay another minute. Start
using Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur at
once and see what difference few
days treatment will make in your
hair.
This preparation is offered to the
public at fifty cents bottle, and is
sold by all druggists. Murray and
