LADIES'! SECRET TO
DARkEN GRAY HAIR
Bring Back it's Color and Lustre
with Grandma's Sage
Tea Recipe.

Common garden sage brewed into
a heavy tan, with sulphur and alcohol
added, will turn gray, streaked and
faded hair beautifully dark and lllxur-
liant; remove every bit Of dandruff,
stop scalp itching and falling nair.
Mixing the Sage Tea and Sulphur
recipe at home, though, Is trouble
some. An easier way is to get the
ready-to-use tonic, costing about so
cents large bottle, at drug stores,
known as "Wyeth's Sage aud Sulphur
Hair Remedy thus avoiding lot Of
muss.
While wispy, gray, faded hair is not
sinful, we all desire to retain our
youthful appearance and attractive
ness, BY darkening your hair with
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur, no one
can tell, because 1t does 1t SO natur-
ally, SO evenly. You just damped a
sponge or soft brush with 1t and draw
this through your hair. taking one
small strand at time; by morning
all gray hairs have disappeared. After
another application or two your hair
becomes beautifully dark, glossy, soft
and luxuriant and you appear years
younger.
