Of my housework and would have to
stay in bed for days at a time, not
being able to get about and would just
have to give up altogether. My nerves
were in an awful condition and it was
almost impossible for me to get any
sleep, as l was so restless. l was also
troubled with rheumatism of the worst
sort, having pains all through my
body and it was especially bad in my
limbs and joints, which at times would
pain me so l could hardly bear it.
II had been reading so much about
the good Tanlac was doing others /

fore l had finished the first bottle /

FEW FOLKS HAVE

Druggists Says Ladies Are Using
Recipe of Sage Tea and
Sulphur.

Hair that loses it's color and lustre,
or when it fades, turns gray, dull and
rIifeless, is caused by lack of sulphur
In the hair. Our grandmother made
up a mixture Of Sage Tea and Sulphur
to keep her locks dark and beautiful,
and thousands of women and men who
value that even color. that beautiful
dark shade OF hair which is so at
tractive, use only this old time recipe.
Nowadays we get this famous mix
ture improved by the addition Of other
ingredients by asking at any drug
store for a bottle OF "Wyeth's Sage
and Sulphur Compound" which dark
ems the hair so naturally, so evenly,
that nobody can possibly tell IL has
been applied. You just dampen a
sponge or soft brush with it and draw
this through your hair. taking one
email strand at a time. BY morning
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 brings
back the gloss and lustre and gives ii
an appearance OF abundance.-Adv.
