SAGE TEA DARKENS
HAIR TO ANY SHADE
Don't stay gray! Here's a simple
recipe that anybody can apply
with a hair brush.

The use of Sage ana Sulphur for re-
storing faded, gray hair to its natural
color dates back to grandmother's
time. She used it to keep her hair
beautifully dark. glossy and attrac--
tive. Whenever her hair took on that
dull, 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out of-date.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 'fWyeth' s
Sage and sulphur Compound" you
will get this famous old preparation,
improved by the addition of other in,
gradients, which can be depended
Upon to restore natural color and
beauty to the hair.
A well-known downtown druggist
says it darkens the hair SO naturally
ana evenly that nobody can tell it has
been applied. You simply darnpen a
sponge or soft brush with it and draw
this through your hair. taking one
strand at time. By morning the
gray hair disappears, and after an
other application or two, it becomes
beautifully dark and glossy.-Adv.

Because of its germ destroying

apply it healing begins. Only those
who have had unsightly skin troubles
can know the delight this Mentho-
Sulphur brings. Even fiery, itching
