An Old Recipe
to Darker Hair
Sage Tea and Sulphur Turns
Grays Faded Hair Dark
and Glossy.

Almost everyone knows that Sage Tea
ard Sulphur, properly compounded,
brings back the natural color and lus-
ter 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 Sui
bottle of this old-time recipe improved
by the addition of other Ingredients,
at very little cost. Everybody uses
this preparation now, because no one
can possibly tell that you darkened
your hair, as 1t 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; by morning the gray hair dis
appears, and after another application
or two, your hair becomes beautifully
dark. thick and glossy and you look
years younger. adv.
