COMB SAGE TEA in

Grandmother kept her hair beautifully
darkened, glossy and abundant with a
brew Of sage tea and sulphur Whenever
her hair fell out or took on that duli,
faded or streaked appearance, this simple
mixture was applied with wonderful ell
feet. BY asking at any drug store for
"Wyeth's Sage and sulphur Compound,
YOU will get large bottle OF this old,
time recipe, ready to use for about 90
cents. This simple mixture can be de,
pended upon to restore natural color and
beauty to the hair and is splendid Tor

hair.
A well.known downtown druggist
saws everybody uses Wyeth's Sage and
Sulphur, because it darkens so naturally
and evenly that nobody can tell It has
been applied it's so easy to use, too.
You simply dampen a comb or soft brush
and draw it through your hair, taking
one strand at time. BY morning the
gray hair disappears; after another APP
plication or two, it is restored to its
natural color and looks glossy, soft and
abundant.
