SAGE TEA TURNS
GRAY HAIR DARK
It's Grandmother's Recipe to
Bring Back Color and
LuStre to Hair. ...

That beautiful, even shade of dark,
glossy hair can only be had by brew
ing a mixture of Sage Tea and Sui
phur. Your hair is your charm. 1t
makes or mars the face. When it
fades, turns gray or streaked, just an
application or two of Sage and Sui
phur enhances its appearance hun
Ndredfold.
Don't bother to prepare the mix
ture; you can get this famous old
recipe improved by the addition of
other ingredients for so cents large
bottle, all ready for use. 1t is called
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound
This can always be depended upon to
bring back the natural color and lustre
OF your hair.
Everybody uses "Wyeth's" Sage and
sulphur Compound now because it
darkens so naturally and evenly that
nobody can tell it has been applied.
You simply dampen a sponge or soft
brush with Il and draw this through
the hair, taking one small strand at a
time; by morning the gray hair has
disappeared, and after another ap-
plication it becomes beautifully dark
and appears glossy and lustrous. This
Teady-to-use preparation is a delight
ful toilet requisite for those who de-
sire dark hair and youthful appear
ance. 1t is not intended for the cure
mitigation or prevention of disease.
