SAGE TEA TURNS

faded, streaked or gray.

That beautiful, even shade OF dark
glossy hair can only be had by brewing
a mixture Of Sage Tea and Sulphur Your
hair is Your charm II makes or mars the
face When it fades, turns gray or streake.d
Just an application or two Of Sage and
Sulphur enhances its appearance hun
dredfold
Don't bother to prepare the mixture
YOU can get this famous old recipe i'm
proved by the addition Of other ingre-
dents at a small cost, all ready for use
1t is called Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur
Compound This can always be depended
upon to bring back the natural color and
lustre of your hair.
Everybody uses "Wyeth's" Sage and
Sulphur Compound now because it
darkens so naturally and evenly that
nobody can tell it has been applied You
simply dampen sponge or soft brush
with il and draw this through the hair,
taking one small strand at time; by
morning the gray hair has disappeared,
and after another application it becomes
beautifully dark and appears glossy and
llstrous This ready-to-use preparation
Is a delightful toilet requisite for those
who desire dark hair and youthful APP
pearance. 1t Is not intended for the cure,
mitigation or prevention Of disease.
