SAGE TEA KEEPS .
YOUR HAIR DARK
It's Grandmother's recipe to bring
back color, thickness and lustre--
Everybody is using it again.

Gray hair, however handsome, denotes
advancing age. We all know the advan-
tages of youthful appearance. Your
hair IS your charm. 1t makes or mars
the face When it fades turns gray and
looks dry, wispy and soraggly, just a
few applications Of Sage Tea and Sulphur
enhances its appearance a hundred fold
Don't stay gray Look young! Either
prepare the tonic at home or get from
any drug store so cent bottle of
"Wyeths Sage and Sulphur Hair Rem
edy.' Thousands of folks recommend this
ready-to-use preparation because it dark;
ems the hair beautifully and removes
dandruif, stops scalp itching and falling
hair; besides, no one can possibly tell,
as it darkens so naturally and evenly.
You moisten a sponge or soft brush with
it, drawing this through the hair, taking
one small strand at a time. BY morning
the gray hair disappears; after another
application or two, its natural color is
restored and it becomes thick, glossy and
mstrous. and You appear years younger.
