GRAY HA|R BECOMES
DARK AND BEAUTIFUL
Ttv Grandmother's Old Favorite
Recipe Of Sage Tea and
Sulphur.

Almost everyone knows that Sage Tea
and Sulphur, properly compounded,
brings back the natural color and lustre
to the hair when faded, streaked or
gray. Years ago the only way to get this
mixture was to make it at home, which
is mussy and troublesome.
Nowadays we simply ask at any drug
store for "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur
Compound" You will get large bottle
of this old time recipe improved by the
addition of other ingredients. for about
so cents. Everybody uses this prepara:
tion now, because no one can possibly tell
that you darkened your hair. as it does
it so naturally and evenly. You dampen
a sponge or soft brush with it and draw
this through your hair, taking one small
strand at a time;s by morning the gray
hair disappears, and after another applii-
cation or two. your hair becomes beauti-
fully dark, thick and glossy and you,
look years younger. Wyeth's Sage ana
Sulphur Compound is a delightful toilet
requisite 1t is not intended for the cure,
mitigation or prevention of disease.
