COMB SAGE TEA IN FADED OR GRAY HAIR If Mixed with Sulphur it Darkens so Naturally Nobody
 can Tell.

Grandmother kept her hair beauti- fully darkened, glossy and attractive with a brew of Sage Tea and Sulphur. Whenever her hair took on that dull, faded or streaked appearance. this sim pie mixture was applied with wonder full effect. By asking at any drug store for "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound" you will get large bot tie of this old-time recipe, improved by the addition of other ingredients. all ready to use. at very little cost. This simple mixture can be depended upon to restore natural color and beauty to the hair.
 well-known downtown druggist says everybody uses Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound now because it darkens so naturally and evenly that nobody can tell it has been applied it's so easy to use, too. You simply dampen a comb or soft brush and draw 1t through your hair, taking one strand at a time. By morning the gray hair disappears; after another application or two, it is restored to its natural color and looks glossy, soft and beautiful. This preparation is a delightful toilet requisite. It is not fn- tended for the cure, mitigation or pre- vention of disease.
