SAGE AND SULPHUR
DARKENS GRAY HAIR
It's Grandmother's Recipe to Restore
Color, Gloss and Thickness.

Hair that loses it's color and lustre,
or when it fades, turns gray, dull and
llfeless, is caused by lack Of sulphur
in the hair. Our grandmother made
up a mixture of Sage Tea and Sui
phur to keep her locks dark and beau
tiful, 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 q
so cent bottle of "Wyeths Sage and
Sulphur Hair Remedy" which darkens
the hair so naturally, so evenly, that
nobody can possibly tell it has been
applied. Besides, it takes off dand-
ruff, stops scalp itching and falling
hair. You just dampen a sponge or
soft brush with it and draw this
through your hair, taking one small
strand at a time. By morning the
gray hair disappears; but what de-
lights the ladies with Wyeth's Sage
and Sulphur is that, besides beautiful.
ly darkening the hair after few ap-
plications, it also brings back the
gloss and lustre and gives it an ap-
pearance of abundance.-Adv.
