TO DARKEN FAIR
APPLY SAGE TEA.
Look Young! Bring Back It's
Natural Color, Gloss and
AttractiveneSS.

Common garden sage brewed into a
heavy tea with sulphur added, will
turn gray, streaked and faded hair
beautifully dark and luxuriant. Just
a few applications will prove revela-
ton If your hair is fading, streaked or
gray. Mixing the Sage Tea and Sui
phur recipe at home, though, is trOu-
blesome. An easier way is to get
bottle Of Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur
Compound at any drug store all ready
for use. This is the old-time recipe
improved by the addition Of other in
gradients.
While wlspy. gray. faded hair is not
sinful, we all desire to retain our
youthful appearance and attractive
ness. By darkening your hair with
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound.
no one cans tell, because 1t does it so
naturally, so evenly. You just dampen
a sponge or soft brush with 1t and
draw this through your hair, taking
one small strand at time; by morning
all gray hairs have disappeared, and,
after another application or two, your
hair becomes beautifully dark, glossy,
soft and luxuriant.
This preparation is a delightful toilet
requisite and is not intended for the
cure, mitigation or prevention Of dis
ease.

take "Cascarets."

"Dynamiting" bile out of your
system with calomel and other sick
ming purgatives is all wrong. Salts,
oil, and Cathartic waters act by flood
ing the bowels with the digestive
juices which are vital to the stom-
ach. Cascarets are different. They
act as tonic to the bowel muscles,
which is the only sensible way to re-
lieve bilious attack, sour, acid
stomach, or constirhted bowels.
There is no gripping or inconvenience.
You naturally return to regularity
and cheerfulness. Cascarets cost
very little and they work while you
sleep.--adv
