LADIES! DARKEN
YOUR GRAY HAIR
Look Years Younger! Use Grand
mothers Recipe of Sage Tea and
Sulphur and Nobody Will Know.

The use Of Sage and Sulphur for re-
storing faded. gray hair to its natural
color dates back to grandmother
time. She used it TO keep her hair
beautifully dark. glossy and attra"-
tive. Whenever her hair took on that
dull, faded or streaked appearance.
this simple mixture was applied with
wonderful effect.
But brewing at home is mUssy and
out-of- date. Nowadays. by asking at
any drug store for bottle OF
"Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com
pound" you will get this famous old
preparation, improved by the addition
OF other ingredients. which can be de-
pended upon to restore natural color
and beauty to the hair.
4 well-known downtown druggist
says it darkens the hair so naturally
and evenly that nobody can tell it has
been applied. You simply dampen a
sponge or soft brush with it and draw
this through your hair, taking one
strand at a time. BY morning the
gray hair disappears, and after an
other application or two, it. becomes
beautifully dark and glossy.
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com
pound is a delightful toilet requisite
for those who desire a more youthful
appearance. 1t is not intended for the
cure. mitigation or prevention Of dis
ease.-Adv. r .-
