GRANDMA NEVER LET
HER HAIR GET GRAY
She Kept Her Locks Dark and
Glossy, with Sage Tea
and Sulphur.

When you darken your hair with
Sage Tea and Sulphur, no one can
tell, because It's done SO naturally,
so evenly. Preparing this mixture,
though, at home is mussy and
troublesome. At little cost you can
buy at any drug store the ready-to-
use preparation, improved by tbs
addition of other ingredients called
"Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com
pound" You just dampen a sponge
or soft brush with 1t and draw this
through your hair, taking one small
strand at time. By morning all
gray hair disappears, and. after an
other application or two, your hair
becomes beautifully darkened, glossy
and luxuriant.
Gray, faded hair, though no dis
grace, is a sign of old age, and as we
all desire a youthful and attractive
appearance, get busy at once with
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound
and look years younger. This ready
to-use preparation Is a delightful
toilet requisite and not medicine.
1t is not intended for the cure, mitt-
cation or prevention Of disease.

beyond criticism. Every American
should give it financial and moral
