RESTORE GRAY HAIR
TO NATURAL COLOR
BY COMMON GARDEN SAGE A
SIMPLE REMEDY FOR DAN
ORUFF, FALLING, FADED, GRAY
HAIR.

The old idea Of using Sage for dark
ening the hair is again coming in
vogue. Our grandmothers had dark,
glossy hair at seventy-five, while our
mothers are gray before they are fiji
ty. Our grandmothers kept their hair
soft and glossy with a Sage Tea"
which also restored the natural color.
One objection to using such a prep
aration was the trouble of making it.
This objection has been overcome by
the Wyeth Chemical company of New
York, who has placed on the market
superior preparation Of Sage, com
bined with Sulphur and other valua'
Bile remedies for dandruff, itching
scalp, and thin, weak, falling hair.
| The beauty Of the hair depends
more on its rich, even shading than
anything else. Don't have dry, harsh,
faded hair, when a simple, harmless
remedy will bring back the color in
few days; and don't be tormented
with dandruff, itching scalp and loose,
falling hairs. Wyeths Sage and Sui
phur Hair Remedy will quickly correct
these troubles. and give color,
strength and beauty to your hair.
