DARKEN GRAY HAIR,
LOOK YOUNG, PRETTY
Sage Tea and Sulphur Darkens So Nat
urally That Nobody Can
Tell

Hair that loses its color and luster, OF
when it fades, turns gray, dull and me-
less, is caused by a lack of sulphur IN the
hair. Our grandmother made up mix
ture of Sage Tea and Sulphur to keep
her locks dark and beautiful, and thou
sands of women and men who value 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 ingre-
dents, by asking at any drug store for a
j0-cent bottle of "Wyeth's Sage and Sui
phur Compound which darkens the hair
so 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, tax
ing one small strand at time. By morn
ing the gray hair disappears; but what
delights the ladies with Wyeth's Sage
and Sulphur Compound is that, besides
beautifully darkening the hair after "a
few applications, it also brings back the
gloss and luster and gives it an appear
ance of abundance.
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound
is a delightful toilet requisite to impart
color and youthful appearance to the
hair. 1t is not intended for the cure,
mitigation or prevention of disease
