NO MORE GRAY HAIR.
Sage and Sulphur Remedy for Dan.
 druH, Faded and Gray Hair.

T'he old idea of using Sage for dark ening the hair is again coming in vogue. Our grandmothers had dark, glossy hair at 75, while our mothers are gray before they are 50. Our grand mothers kept their hair soft and glossy with a Sage Tea" which also restored the natural color.
 One objection to using such a prepa- ration 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 a superior preparation of Sage, combin- ed with Sulphur and other valuable 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 @ simple, harmless remedy will bring back the color in a few Jays: and don't be tOrmented with dandruff, itching scalp and loose, falling hairs Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Hair Rem edy will quickly correct these troubles, and give color, strength and beauty to your hair.
