Gray hair, however handsome, de-
notes advancing age. We all know
the advantages OF youthful appear
ance Your hair is your charm. It
makes or mars the face. When 1t
fades, turns gray and looks streaked,
Just a few applications Of Sage Tea
and Sulphur enhances its appearance
hundred-fold.
Don't stay gray! Look young!.
Either prepare the recipe at home
or get from any drug store a bottle
Of "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com
pound" which is merely the old
time recipe improved by the addi-
ton OF other ingredients. Thousands
Of folks recommend this ready-to-use
preparation, because it darkens the
hair beautifully; besides, no one can
possibly tell, as it darkens SO natur-
ally and evenly. You moisten a
sponge or soft. brush with It,, draw
ing this through the hair, taking one
small strand at time. BY morning
the gray hair disappears; after an.
other application or two, its natural
cclor is restored and 1t becomes
thick, glossy and lustrous, and you
appear years younger.
