GRANDMA USED SAGE
TEA TO DARkEN HAIR
She mixed Sulphur with it to Re-
store Color, Gloss, Youth
fuIness.

Common garden sage brewed into a
heavy tea with sulphur added, will
turn gray, streaked and faded hair
beautifully dark and luxuriant. Just
a few applications will prove revela-
ton If your hair is fading, streaked or
gray. Mixing the Sage Tea and Sui
phur recipe at home, though, is trou-
blesome. An easier way is to get a
bottle of Wyeth'ss Sage and Sulphur
Compound at any drug store all ready
for use. This is the old-time recipe
improved by the addition Of other in
gradients.
While wispy, gray, faded hair is not
sinful, we all desire to retain our
youthful appearance and attractive
ness. By darkening your hair with
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound,
no one can tell, because it does it so
naturally, so evenly. You just dampen
a sponge or soft brush with it and
draw this through your hair, taking
Oh - small strand at a time; by morning
all gray hairs have disappeared, and,
after another application or two, your
hair becomes beautifully dark, glossy
soft and luXuriant.-Adv.
