FEW FOLKS HAVE
GRAY HAIR NOW
Druggist Says Ladies are
Using Recipe of Sage Tea
and Sulphur.

Hair that loses its color and lustre. or
when it fades turns gray. dull and life
less. is caused by a lack of sulphur in
the hair. Our grandmother made up q
mixture of Sage Tea and Sulphur to
keep her locks dark and beautiful. and
thousands of women and men who
value that even color. that beautiful
dark shade of hair which is so attrac-
tive. use only this old-time recipe.
Nowadays we get this famous mix
ture improved by the addition of other
ingredients by asking at any drug store
for a 5O-cent bottle of 'Wyeth's Sage
and Sulphur Compound" which dark
ems the hair naturally. so evenly,
that nobody can possibly tell it has
been applied. You just dampen a
sponge or soft brush with it and draw
this through your hair. taking one
small strand at time. BY morning
the gray hair disappears; but what de-
lights the ladies with Wyeth's Sage
and Sulphur Compound. is that. be-
sides beautifully darkening the hair
after a few applications, it also brings
back the gloss and 1ustre ard gives it
an appearance of abundance
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound
is a delightful toilet requisite to i'm
part color and a youthful appearance
to the hair. It is not intended for the
cure. mitigation or prevention of dis
ease-Ady
