TO DARKEN HAIR
APPLY SAGE TIA
BRING BACK LUSTRE AND
BRIN GBACK LUSTRE AND
COLOR TO HAIR.

You can turn gray, 7aded hair, beau
tfully darl; and lustrious almost over
night if you'll get a 50-cent bottle of
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound
at any drug store. Millions of bottles
OF this old famous Sage Tea Recipe,
improved by the addition of other in
gradients, are sold annually, says a
wellknown druggist here, because it
darkens the hair so naturally and
evenly that no one can tell it has been
applied.
Those whose hair is turning gray
or becoming faded have a surprise
awaiting them, because after one or
two applications the gray hair vanish
es and your locks become luxuriantly
dark and beautiful.
This is the age of youth. Gray-hair-
ed, unattractive folks aren't wanted
around, so get busy with Wyeth' S
Sage and Sulphur Compound tonight
and you'll be delighted with your dark,
handsome hair and your youthful APP
pearance within a few days.
This preparation is toilet requisite
and is not iGlended for the cure, miti-
gaton or prevention of disease.
