FEW FOLKS HAVE
GRAY HAIR NOW
Druggist Says Ladies are U.s.
ing Recipe of Sage Tea
and Sulphur.

Hair that loses its color and lustre.
or when it fades, turns gray. dull and
lifeless is caused by a lack of sui
phur in the hair. Our grandmother
made up a mixture of Sage Tea and
Sulphur TO keep her locks dark and
beautiful, and thousands of women
and men who value that even color.
that beautiful dark shade of hair
which is so attractive, use only this
old-time recipe.
Nowadays we get this famous mix
ture by asking at any drug store for
a so cent bottle of "Wyeth's Sage and
Sulphur Hair Remedy" which dark
ems the hair so naturally, so evenly,
that nobody can possibly tell it has
been applied. Besides. it takes off
dandruff, stops scalp itching and fall
ing hair. You just dampen a sponge
or soft brush with it and draw this
through your hair, taking one small
strand at time. BY morning the
gray hair disappears; but what de-
lights the ladies with Wyeth's Sage
and Sulphur Is that, besides beauti-
fully darkening the hair after a few
applications, it also brings back the
gloss and lustre and gives it an ap-
pearance Of abundance.
