SAGE AND SULPHUR
DARKENS GRAY HAIR
It's Grandmother's Recipe to Restore
Color, Gloss and At
Effectiveness.

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, by asking at any
drug store for "Wyeth's Sage and Sui
phur Compound" you will get a large
bottle of this famous old recipe, in-
proved by the addition Of other in
gradients, at a small cost.
Don't stay gray! Try it! No one
can possibly tell that you darkened
your hair, as it does 1t so naturally and
evenly. You dampen a sponge or soft
brush with it and draw this through
your hair, taking one small strand al
a time by morning the gray hair dis
| appears, and after another application
or two your hair becomes beautifully
dark, glossy and attractive.-Ady.
