AN OLD RECIPE
TO DARKEN HAIR
Sage Tea and Sulphur Turns
Gray, Faded Hair Dark
and Glossy.v

Almost everyone knows that Sage
Tea and sulphur properly compound
ed, brings back the natural color and
lustre to the hair when faded, streaked
or gray. Years ago the only way to get
this mixture was to make 1t at home,
which is musSv and troublesome.
Nowadays we simply ask at any
drug store for "Wyeth's Sage and Sui
phur Compound" You will get a large
bottle of this old-time recipe improved
by the addition Of other ingredients.
at very little cost. Everybody uses
this preparation now, because no one
can possibly tell that you darkened
your hair, as it does it so naturally
and evenly, You dampen a sponge or
soft brush with it and draw this
through your hair taking one small
strand at a time; by morning the gray
hair disappears, and after another ap-
plication or two, your hair becomes
beautifully dark thick and glossy and
you look years younger. Wyeth's Sage
and Sulphur Compound is a delightful
toilet requisite. II is not intended for
tie cure, mitigation or prevention of
