GRANDMOTHER
USED SAGE TEA
To Darker the Hair and Re-
store 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 "ssge 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 advan-
tage of the past in that it can get a
ready-to-use preparation called Wyeth' s
Sage and Sulphur Hair Remedy. AS a
scalp tonic and color restorer this prep
aration is vastly superior to the ordinary
sage teg made by our grandmothers.
The growth and beauty of the hair
depends on a healthy condition OF the
scalp. Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Hair
Remedy quickly kills the dsndruff germs
which rob the hair of its life, color and
lustre, makes the scalp clean and
healthy, gives the hair strength, color
and beauty, and makes it grow.
