Sage Tea Darkens
Hair to Amy Shade
Don't Stay Gray; Here's An
Old-Time Recipe That Any
body Can Apply.

The use of Sage and Sulphur for
restoring faded. gray hair To its
natural color dates back TO grand
mothers time. She used it to keep
her hair beautifully dark, glossy
and attractive. Whenever her hair
took on that dull, faded or streaked
appearance. this simple mixture
was applied with wonderful effect.
But brewing at home is mussy
and out-of-date. Nowadays, by
asking at any drug store for a
bottle of "Wyeth's Sage and Sui
phur Compound" you get this fam
out old preparation, improved by
the addition of other ingredients,
which can be depended upon 70 re-
store natural color and beauty to
the hair.
a well known downtown druggist
says it darkens the hair so nat
urally and evenly that nobody can
tell it has been applied You
simply dampen a sponge or soft
brush with It and draw this
through your hair, taking one
strand at a time . BY morning the
gray hair disappears, and after an
other application or two. it becomes
beautifully dark and glossy.
Wyeth's sage and sulphur Com
pound is a delightful toilet Tequi-
sire for those who desire more
youthful appearance. II is not in
tended for the cure. mitigation or
prevention Of disease.-tAdyD
