TO DARKEN HAIR
APPLY SAGE TEA
Look Young! Bring Back Its
Natural Color, Gloss and
A Attractiveness.

Common. garden sage brewed into
a heavy. tea with sulphur added, will
turn gray, streaked and faded hair
beautifully dark and luXuriant. Just
a few applications will prove a reve-
lation If your hair is fading, streaked
or gray. Mixing the Sage Tea and
Sulphur recipe at home, though, is
troublesome. An easier way is to get
50-cent bottle of Wyeth's Sage and
Sulphur Compound at any drug store
all ready for use. This is the old
time recipe improved by the addi-
tion of other ingredients.
While wispy, gray. faded hair is
not sinful, we all desire to retain
our youthful appearance and attrac-
tiveness. BY darkening your hair
with Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com
pound. no one can tell, because it
does it so naturally, so evenly. You
just dampen a spronge or soft brush
with it and draw this through your
hair, taking one small strand at a
time; by morning all gray hairs have
disappeared, and. after another ap-
plication or two, your hair becomes
beautifully dark, glossy, soft and
luxuriant.
This preparation is a delightful
toilet requisite and is not intended
for the cure, mitigation or preven-
ton of disease. ~HW
