Grandma Never Let Her Hair Get Gray She Kept Her Locke Dark and Glossy, with Sage Tea
 and Sulphur

When you darken your hair with Sage Tea and Sulphur, no one can tell, because it's done so naturally so evenly. Preparing this mixture though, at home is mussy and trouble some. At little cost you can buy at any drug store the ready to-use pre- paration, improved by the addition of other ingredients, called "Wyeths Sage and Sulphur Compound" You just dampen sponge or soft brush with it and draw this through your hair, taking one small strand at a time. By morning all gray hair disappears, and, after another application or two, your hair becomes beautifully darkened, glossy and luxuriant
 Gray, faded hair. though no disgrace, is a sign of old age, and as we all desire a youthful and attraetivve appearance, get busy at once with Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound and look years younger. This ready to-use preparation is a a-delightful toilet requisite and not a medicine. It is not intended for the cure, mitigation or prevention of disease
