LADIES! DARKEN
YOUR CRAY HAIR
USE GRANDMA's SAGE TEA AND
SULPHUR RECIPE AND NOBODY
WILL KNOW.

The use of Sage and Sulphur for re-
storing faded, gray hair to its natural
color dates back to grandmother's
time She used it to KEEP her hair
beautifully dark, glossy and attrac-
i've. Whenever her hair took on that
dull, faded or streaked appearance,
this simple mixture was applied with
wonderful effect.
But brewing at home is musSy and
out-of-date. Nowadays, by asking at
any drug store for a so cent bottle
of "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com
pound" you will get this famous old
preparation improved by the addition
@of other ingredients, which can be
depended upon to restore natural col
Or and beauty to the hair.
A well-known downtown druggist
says it darkens the hair so naturally
md so evenly that nobody can tell it
las been applied. You simply dampen
I sponge or soft brush with it and
draw this through your hair. taking
1ne small strand at tine. By morn
ing the gray hair disappears, and af-
.er another application or two it be-
comes beautifully dark and glossy.

pound is a delightful toilet requisite
