LADIES! look YOUNG,
OARKEN GRAY HAIR
Use the Old Time Sage Tea and
Sulphur and Nobody
Will Know

Gray hair, however handsome, de-.
notes advancing age. We all know the
advantages of youthful appearance
Your hair is your charm. 1t makes or
mars the face. When it fades, turns
gray and looks streaked, just few
applications of Sage Tea and Sulphur
enhances its appearance a hundred
fold.
Don't stay gray! Look young! Eth
er prepare the recipe at home or get
from any drug store 5O.cent bottle of
"Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com
pound" which is merely the old-time
recipe improved by the addition of
other ingredients Thousands Of folks
recommend this ready-to-use prepare
ton, because it darkens the hair beau
tifully, besides no one can possibly
tell, as it darkens so naturally and
evenly. You moisten sponge or soft
brush with it drawing this through
the hair, taking one small strand at
time. BY morning the gray hair
disappears; after another application
or two, it's natural color is restored
and it becomes thick, glossy and lus-
trOus, and you appear years younger.
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com
pound is q delightful toilet requisite.
1t is not intended for the cure, miti.
