Be PRETTY! TURN
GRAY HAIR DARK
Look young! Nobody can tell If you
use Grandmothers simple recipe
of Sage Tea and Sulphur.

Almost everyone knows that Sage
Tea and Sulphur, properly compound
ed, brings back the natural color and
lustre to the hair when faded, streak
ed or gray. Years ago the only way
to get this mixture was to make 1t
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 large
bottle of this famous old recipe, i'm
proved by the addition of other in
gradients, at small cost.
Don't stay gray! Try it! No one
can possibly tell that you darkened
your hair, as it does it so naturally
and evenly. You dampen sponge
or soft brush with it and draw this
through your hair, taking one small
strand at time; by morning the
gray hair disappears, and after an
other application or two, your hair
becomes beautifully dark, glossy and
attractive.
