GRANDMA NEVER LET
HER HAIR GET GRAY
She Kept Her Locks Dark and
Glossy, with Sage Tea
and Sulphur.

When you darken your hair with Sage
Tea and Sulphur, no one can tell, be-
cause it's done so naturally, so evenly.
Preparing this mixture, though, at home
is mussy and troublesome. For so cents
you can buy at any drug store the ready
to-use preparation, improved by the addi-
ton Of other ingredients, called 'Wyeth':
Sage and Sulphur Compound" You just
dampen sponge or soft brush with it
and draw this through your hair, taking
one small strand at time. By morning
all gray hair disappears, and, after an
other application or two, your hair be-
comes beautifully darkened, glossy and
luxuriant.
Gray, faded hair, though no disgrace,
is a sign of old age, and as we all de-
sire youthful and attractive appear
ance, get busy at once with Wyeth's Sage
and Sulphur Compound and look years
younger. This ready-to-use preparation
is "a delightful toilet requisite and not q
medicine. It is not intended for the. cure,
mitigation Or prevention Of disease.
