Be PRETTY! TURN
GRAY HAIR DARK
Try Grandmother's old FavOrite
Recipe of Sage Tea and
Sulphur

Almost every one knows that Sage
Tea and Sulphur, properly compound
ed, brings back the natural color and
lustre to the hair when faded,
streaked or gray; also ends dandruff,
itching scalp and stops falling hair.
Years ago the only way to get this
mixture was to make it at home,
which is mussy and troublesome.
Nowadays, by asking at any drug store
for "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com
pound" you will get a large bottle of
this famous old recipe for about so
cents.
Don't stay gray! Try it! No one
can possibly tell that you darkened
your hair, as it does it so naturally
and evenly You dampen a 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, and after another
application or two, your hair becomes
beautifully dark, thick and glossy
