.DARKEN GRAY HAIR,
LOOK YOUNG PRETTY
Sage Tea and Sulphur Darkens SO
Naturally That Nobody
Can Tell. IS

Hair that loses its color and lustre,
or when it fades, turns gray, dull and
lifeless, is caused by a lack of SUI
phur IN the hair. Our grandmother
made UP a mixture of Sage Tea and
Sulphur to keep her locks dark and
beautiful. and thousands of women
and men who value that even color,
that beautiful dark shade OF hair
which is so attractive, use only this
old-time recipe.
Nowadays we get this famous mix
ture improved by the addition of
other ingredients by asking at any
drug store for bottle Of 'Wyeth's
Sage and Sulphur Compound which
darkens the hair so naturally, so
evenly that nobody can possibly tell
It has been applied. You just damp
en- a sponge or soft brush with it
and draw this through your hair,
taking one small strand at a time.
By morning the gray hair disap-
pears; but what delights the ladies
with Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com
pound is that. besides beautifully
darkening the hair after a few appli-
cations, it also brings back the gloss
and lustre and gives it an appear
ance of abundance.
