LADIES! DARKEN
YOUR GRAY HAIR
Look Years Younger! Use GRANDMOTHER
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 attractive. 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out of date.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 "Wyeths Sage
and Sulphur Compound" you will get
this famous old preparation, improved by
the addition of other ingredients, which
can be depended upon to restore natural
color and beauty to the hair.
A well-known downtown druggist says
it darkens the hair 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
your hair, taking one strand at time.
BY morning the gray hair disappears,
and after another application or two, it
becomes beautifully dark and glossy.
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound
is delightful toilet requisite for those
who desire a more youthful appearance.
1t is not intended for the cure, mitiga-
ton or prevention of idsease.--Adv

Grandmother Was the Druggist.

In the early days of our country grand.
mother was the druggist, and her drugs
consisted mostly of roots and herbs gath
cred from the fields and forests. There
was peppermint for Indigestion, mullen
for coughs, skullcap for nervousness,
thoroughwort for colds, NORWOOD for
bruises and sprains, and so on. They
were successful remedies, too. 1t was
from combination of such roots and
herbs that Mrs. Lydia L. Pinkham of
Lynn, Mass, more than forty years ago,
originated her now famous Vegetable
Compound; and during all these long
years no other remedy has ever been dis
covered to restore health TO ailing women
so successfully as this good, old fash
