BE PRETTY! TURN
CRAY HAIR DARK
TRY GRANDMoTHER'S OLD FA-
vORlTE RECIPE OF SAGE TEA
AND SULPHUR.

Almost everyone knows that Sage
Tea and Sulphur, properly compound
ed, brings back the natural color and
lustre to the hair when faded, streak
ed or gray. Years ago the only way
to get this mixture was to make it at
home, which is mussy and trouble
some. Nowadays, by asking at any
drug store for "Wyeth's Sage and
Sulphur Compound" you will get a
large bottle of this famous old recipe
improved by the addition of other in
gradients, for about so cents.
Don't stay gray! Try it! No one
can possible tell that you darkened
your hair, as it does it so naturally
and evenly. You dampen sponge or
soft brush with it and draw this
through your hair, taking one small
strand at time; by morning the gray
hair disappears, and after another ap-
plication or two, your hair becomes
beautiful, dark glossy and attractive.
Wyett's Sage and Sulphur Com
pound is a delightful toilet requisite
for those who desire dark hair and
a youthful appearance. 1t is not in'
tended for the cure, mitigation or pre-.
ventation of disease.
