SAGE AND SULPHUR
DARKENS GRAY HAIR
It's Grandmother's Recipe TO Restore
Color, Gloss and Thick
ness

Hair that loses its color and hster, OF
when 1t fades, turns gray, dull and life
less, is caused by u lack of sulphur in
the hair. Our grandmother made up a
mixture of Sage Tea and Sulphur Ia
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 attractive, use
only this old-time recipe.
Nowadays we get this famous mixture
by asking at any drug store for so
cent bottle of "Wyeth's Sage and Sui
phur Compound" which darkens the hair
so naturally, so evenly, that nobody can
possibly tell it has been applied. Be.
sides, it takes off dandruff, stops scalp
itching and falling hair. You just damp
en- 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 Wyeths Sage and
Sulphur is that, besides beautifully
the hair after few applica-
tions, it also brings back the gloss and
ulster and gives it an appearance of
abundance
