IF HAIR IS TURNING
GRAY, USE SAGE TEA
Don't Look Old! Try Grandmother's
Recipe to Darken and Beautify Gray
Faded, Lifeless Hair.

Grandmother kept her hair beauti-
fully darkened, glossy and abundant
with brew Of Sage Tea and Sulphur.
Whenever her hair fell out or took on
that dull, faded or streaked appear
ance, this simple mixture was applied
with wonderful effect. By asking at
any drug store for "Wyeth's Sage and
Sulphur Hair Remedy" you will get a
large bottle of this old-time recipe,
ready to use, for about 80 cents. This
simple mixture can be depended upon
to restore natural color and beauty
to the hair and is splendid for dan
druff, dry, itchy scalp and falling hair.
A well-known druggist says every
body uses Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur,
because it darkens SO naturally and
evenly that nobody can tell 1t has been
applied-it's 80 easy to use, too. You
simply dampen comb or soft brush
and draw 1t through your hair, taking
one strand at a time. By morning
the gray hair disappears; after an
other application or two, It Is re-
stored to it's natural color and looks
glossy, soft and abundant.-Adv.
