SAGE TEA DARKENS
HAIR TO ANY SHADE
Don't Stay Gray! Here's an
Old time Recipe that Any
body can Apply.

/ The use of Sage and Sulphur for re-
storing faded, gray hair to its natural
color dates back to grandmothers
time. She used it to keep her hair
beautifully dark, glossy and attrac-
tive. Whenever her hair took on that
dun, faded or -streaked appearance
this simple mixture was applied with
wonderful effect.
But brewing at home is mussy and
out-of-date. Nowadays, by asking at
any drug store for a bottle of "Wyeth's
Sage and Sulphur Compound" you
vii lget this famous old preparation,
improved by the addition of other in
gradients, which can be depended up
on to restore natural color and beauty
to the hair.
4 well-known downtown druggist
says It darkens the hair so naturally
and evenly that nobody can tell It has
been applied. You simply dampen a
sponge or soft brush with it and draw
this through your hair, taking one
strand at a time. BY morning the
gray hair disappears, and after an
other application or two, it becomes
beautifully dark and glossy.
