Don't stay Gray! Here's an Old
time Recipe that Anybody

The use Of Sage and Sulphur for
restoring faded, gray hair to its nat

hair beautifully dark, glossy and
abundant. Whenever her hair fell out
or took on that dull, faded or streak
ed appearance, this simple mixture
was applied with wonderful effect.
But brewing at home is mussy and
out-of-date Nowadays; by asking at
any drug store for so cens bottle of

recipe which can be depended upon

ruff, dry, feverish. itchy scalp and
falling hair.
A well-known downtown druggist
says it darkens the hair so naturally
and evenly that nobody can tell IT
has been applied. You simply dsmpen
a sponge or soft brush with 1t and
draw this through your hair, taking
one strand at time. By morning tht
gray hair disappears, and after an
other application or two, it becomes
beautifully dark, glossy, soft ant
