An Old Recipe
to Darker 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 it at
home, which is mussy and trouble
some.
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 thru your
hair, taking one small strand at a
time: by morning the gray hair disap-
pears, and after another application or
two, your hair becomes beautifully
dark, thick and glossy. and you look
years younger. Wyeth's Sage and Sui
phur Compound is a delightful toilet
requisite. 1t is not intended for the
cure, mitigation or prevention OF dis

10 Avoid and Relieve influenza

BY DIR. FRANKLIN DUANE.
Many people have been frightened
by what they have read or heard OF
influenza. The more you fear the dis
ease, the surer' you are to get IT, 20
right about your business and forget
it. AS the disease is spread princl-
pally by contact thru sneezing, coue n
ing or splitting, many health author1-
ties have advised that everyone wear
a gauze. which is daily washed and
saturated with n one to five hundred
solution of zinc sulphate in water, and
then dried before wearing over the
nose and mouth. You should avoid
crowds, common drinking cups and
public towels. Keep your strength up
by taking lots of exercise in the open
air and plenty of nouHs hing food.
II you have any such symptoms as
chilliness, nasal distractions, flushed
face, headache, feverishness, restless
ness, weakness, or irritating cough,
give up work at once and go to bed.
This will save your strength to help
overcome the disease. Put your feet
in hot water for fifteen minutes.
Thoroly loosen the bowels with some
such mild and non-irritating physics
as DIR. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets. Drink
principally of hot lemonade and then
cover up with plenty of clothes in bed
so as to get a good sweat. When
sweating is free and the fever reduced
take a dose of two Anuric Tablets
every four hours, followed by drinking
at least a glass or two of hot wafer.
Anuric Tablets help quickly to relieve
the soreness of the muscles and bones
from which most patients complain
and help the kidneys flush out the
poisons.
To relieve nasal distractions and
excessive discharge from the nose,
probably nothing is better than such
a mild, soothing, antiseptic wash as
DIR. SaSe's Catarrh Remedy. 1t will
give great relief. Employed as a gar
gle. in same strength as made up for
use in the nose, and as hot as can be
borne, it quickly arrests soreness and
dryness in the throat.
Influenza weakens the patients re-
sistance to disease. so that there is
danger of bronchitis and pneL monia
developing To combat this tendency
and fortify the patients strength in
sist that he keep in bed at least two
days. Probably nothing will at this
stage hasten the recovery AMI
strengthen the patient more than an
iron tonic tablet called ""Irontic" or
that well known herbal tonic. DIR.
