DARKEN GRAY HAIR, l
 LOOK YOUNG, PRETTY
Sage Tea and Sulphur Darksn1 So Naturally that Mo-
 body can tell. ~

Hair that loses it's color and lustre. Of when it fades, turns gray, dull and life. less, is caused by a lack of sulphur in the hair. Our grandmother made up a mixture of Sage Tea and Sulphur to keep her locks dark and beautiful, and thousands of women and men who valua that even color, that beautiful dark shade of hair which is so attractive, use only this old-time recipe
 Nowadays we get this famous mixture improved by the addition of other ingredi. ents by asking at any drug store for 50. cent bottle of "Wyeth's Sage and Sul. phur Compound," which darkens the hair so naturally, so evenly, that nobody can possibly tell it has been applied. You just dampen sponge or soft brush with it and draw this through your hair, talk ing one small strand at q time. By morn ing the gray hair disappears; but what delights the ladies with Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound, is that, hesides beau- tifully darkening the hair after few applications, it also brings back the gloss and lustre and gives it an appearance of abundance.
 Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound is a delightful toilet requisite to impaH color and youthful appearance to the hair. It is not intended for the cure, or prevention of disease
