Druggist Says Ladies Are Using
Recipe of Sage Tea and
Sulphur.

Hair that loses its color and lustre,
or when 1t fades. turns gray, dull and
lifeless, is caused by q lack Of sulphur
in the air. 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 attrac-
tive, use only this old-time recipe.
Nowadays we get this famous mix
ture by asking at any drug store for
50-cent bottle OF "Wyeth's Sage and
Sulphur Compound" which darkens
the hair so naturally, SO evenly, that
nobody can possibly tell it has been
applied Besides, it takes of dandruff.

You just dempen a sponge or soft
brush with II and draw this through
your hair, taking one small strand at

that, besides beautifully darkening the
hair after a few applications. il also

THE YELLOW PERIL
Japanese Warnings.

The Japanese eagerly sought for the
truth and their earliest knowledge was
the principle that their strength de-
pended on a healthy stomach. They
cat very little and practice "Jiu-Jitsu'
muscular exercise from youth up.
The stomach is the center of the body
from which radiates our vitality, siren
uosity, our fighting strength. A
healthy stomach turns the food we
eat into nourishment for the blood
stream and the nerves. DR.. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery refreshes
and tones up the stomach walls. Re
moves the poisonous gases from the
system.
The first day you start to take this
reliable medicine. impure germs and
accommodations begin to separate in the
blood and are then expelled through
the liver. bowels and kidneys.
In place OF the impurities, the arter-
tes and veins gradually get fresh vital
lied blood and the action Of this good
blood on the skin means that pimples,
boils, carbuncles, eczema, rash, acne
and all skin blemishes will disappear.
Then you must remember that when
the blood is right, the liver, stomach,
bowels and kidneys become healthy,
active and vigorous and you will have
no more trouble with indigestion, back
ache. headache and constipation.
