COMB SAGE TEA IN
HAIR TO DARKEN 1T
Grandma kept her locks dark, glossy,
and youthful with Saga Tea.
and Sulphus.

The old time mixture OF Sage Tea
and Sulphur for darkening gray,
streaked and faded hair is grand
mothers recipe, and folks are again
using it to keep their hair good,
even color, which is quite sensible. as
we are living in an age when a youth
full appearance is of the greatest ad
vantage
Nowadays, though, we don't have
the troublesome task of gathering the
sage and the mussy mixing at home.
All drug stores sell the ready to- use
product, improved by the addition of
other ingredients called ''Wyeth's Sage
and Sulphur Compound" 1t is very
popular because nobody can discover
it has been applied. Simply moisten
your comb or a soft brush with it and
draw this through your hair, taking
one small strand at a time: by morn
ing the gray hair disappears, but what
delights the ladies with Wyeth's Sage
and Sulphur Compound is that be-
sides beautifully darkening the hair
after few applications, it also pro
duces that soft lustre and sppearan- g
Of abundance which La SO attractive.
