AN OLD RECIPE
TODARKEN HAIR
Sage Tea and Sulphur Turns
Gray, Faded Hair Dark
and Glossy

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
lit at home, which is mussy and trou-
blesome.
Nowadays we simply ask at any
drug store for "Wyeth's Sage and
Sulphur Compound" You will get
a large bottle of this old time recipe
improved by the addition of other in
gradients for about SO cents. Every
body uses this preparation now, be-
cause no one can possibly tell that
you darkened your hair, as it does it
SO naturally and evenly. You dampen
la sponge or soft brush with it and
draw this through your hair, taking
one small strand at time; by morn
ing the gray hair disappears, and
after another application or two, your
hair becomes beautifully dark, thick
and glossy and you look years young
err. Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com
pound is delightful toilet requisite.
1t is not intended for the cure, mitiga-
ton or prevention Of disease.
