IF HAIR IS TURNING

Don't Look 0A.---Try Grand
mother S Recipe To Darken
And Beautify Faded,
Streaked Hair.

That beautiful, even shade of dark,
glossy hair can only be had by brew
ing mixture of Sage Tea and Sui
phur. Your hair is your charm. 1t makes
or mars the face. When il fades, turns
gray or streaked, just an application
.or two of Sage and Sulphur enhances
its appearance hundredfold.
Don't bother to prepare the mix
ture; you can get this famous old
recipe improved by the addition of oil
|er ingredients at small cost, all ready
for use. Itsfs 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 it and draw this through
the hair, taking one small strand at a
time; by morning the gray hair has dis
appeared, and after another application
it becomes beautifully dark and ap-
pears glossy and lustrous. This ready
TO use preparation is a delightful toilet
requisite for those. who desire dark hair
and a youthful appearance 1t is not
intended for the cure, mitigation or
prevention of disease.
