Doctor Makes a Fortune.
He stated that duHIngs this period

Dr. Abbott was waiting eagerly for
Mr.. Keith to finish his address. When he
had made his confession the physicians
present were silent for moment, and
then they applauded loudly.
Judge G. NJ. Collins, of the court of
special sessions, caused n stir among
the doctors by declaring that the regu-

"squarely up to the medical profession. -
His speech led to n lively discussion
on the question of medical ethics, but
he countered with:

GRAY HAIR BECOMES
DARK AND BEAUTIFUL
Try Grandmother'S Old Fa-
vorite 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 IL at
home, which is mussy and trouble
some.
Nowadays we simply ask at any
drug store for "Wyeth's Sage and SUI
phur Compound" You will get a large
bottle OF this old time recipe improved
by the addition of other ingredients
for about SO cents. Everybody uses
this preparation now, because no one
can possibly tell that you darkened
your hair, as 1t does IT so naturally
and evenly. You dampen a sponge or
soft brush with II and draw this
through your hair. taking one small
strand at a timo; by morning the
gray hair DISAPPEARS. and after an
other application or two. your hair
becomes beautifully dark, thick and
glossy and you look years younger.
