Bring Back it's Color and Lustre

Tea Recipe.

Common garden sage brewed into a
heavy tea. with sulphur and alcohol
added, will turn gray, streaked and
faded hair beautifully dark and luxuri-
ant. Mixing the Sage Tea and Sulphur
recipe at home, though, is troublesome
An easier way is to get the ready -to-use
preparation improved by the addition of
other ingredients, costing about so cents
large bottle, at drug stores, known as
"Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound"
thus avoiding lot of muss.
While gray, faded hair is not sinful, we
all desire to retain our youthful appear
ance and attfactiveness. BY darkening
your hair with Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur
Compound, no one can tell, because it
does it so naturally, so, evenly. You
just dampen q sponge or soft brush with
it and draw this through your hair,
taking one small strand at time; by
morning all gray hairs have disappeared
After another application or two your
hair becomes beautifully dark, glossy,
soft and luxuriant and you appear years
younger. Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur
Compound is delightful toilet requisite.

or prevention of diesase.
