TURN HAIR DARK
WITH SAGE TEA
If Mixed with Sulphur 1t Dark
ems So Naturally. No
body Can Tell

The old time mixture of Sage Tea
and sulphur for darkening gray,
streaked and faded hair is grand
mothers recipe, and folks are again
using it TO keep their hair a good,
even color, which is quite sensible,
as we are living in an age when a
youthful appearance is of the great
est advantage.
Nowadays, though, we don't have
the troublesome task of gathering the
sage and the muSsy mixing at home.
All drug stores sell the ready-to-use
product, improved by the addition of
other ingredients, called "Wyeth's
Sage and Sulphur Compound" for
about 80 cents a bottle. 1t is very
popular because nobody can discov-
er it has been applied. Simply moist
en- yodr comb or a soft brush with
IL and draw this through your hair,
taking one small strand at a time /;
by morning the gray hair disappears,
but what delights the ladies with
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur COM
pound, is that, besides beautifully
darkening the hair after a few ap-
plications. it also produces that soft
lustre and appearance of abundance
which is so attractive. This ready-to-
use preparation is a delightful toilet
requisite for those who desire a more
youthful appearance. 1t is not in
tended for the cure, mitigation or
prevention of disease.
