When Faded, Streaked or Gray

That beautiful, even shade of dark,
glossy hair can only be had by brewing
q mixture of Sage Tea and Sulphur.
Your hair is your charm. 1t makes or
mars the face. When it fades, turns
gray, streaked and looks dry. wispy and
scraggy, just an application or two of
Sage and Sulphur enhances its appear
ance hundredfold.
Don't bother to prepare the tonic;
you can get from any drug store a So
cent bottle of "Wyeth's Sage and Sui
phur Compound" ready to use. This
can always be depended upon to bring
back the natural color, thickness and
lustre of your hair and remove dandruff,
stop scalp itching and falling hair.
Everybody uses "Wyeth's" Sage and
Sulphur because it darkens so naturally
aud evenly that nobody can tell it has
been applied. You simply dampen a
sponge or soft brush with it and draw
this through the hair, taking one small
strand at a time; by morning the gray
hair has disappeared, and after another
application it becomes beautifully dark
