COMB SAGE TEA IN
 FADED OR GRAY HAIR
Look young. Common garden Sage and Sulphur darkenS so naturally
 nobody can tell.

Grandmother kept her hair bcauti fully darkened, glossy and attractive with a brew of Sage Tea and Sulphur. Whenever her hair took on that dull, faded or streaked appearance, this simple mixture was applied with won dcrful effect. By asking at any drug store for "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound" you will get a large bot tie of this old-time recipe, improved by the addition of other ingredients, all ready to use for about 50 cents. This simple mixture can be depended upon to restore natural color and beauty to the hair.
 A Well-knoWn downtown druggist says everybody uses Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound now because it dar1cnS so naturally and evenly that nobody can tell it has been applied it's so easy to use, too. You simply dampcn a comb or soft brush and draw it through your hair, taking one strand at d time. By morning the gray hair disappears; after another application or two, it is restored to it's natural color and looks glossy, soft and beautiful. This preparation is g. delightful toilet requisite. It is not intended for the cure, mitigation or prevention of disease.
