TO DARKEN HAIR
 APPLY SAGE TEA
Look Young! Bring Back Its Ma tural Color, Gloss and
 Attractiveness

Common garden sage Drewed into heavy tea with sulphur added, will turn gray, streaked and faded hair beautifully dark and luxuriant. Just a few applications will prove revelation if your hair is fading, streaked or gray. Mixing the Sage Tea and Sulphur recipe at home, though, is troublesome. An easier way is to get a 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 ingredients.
 While wispy, gray, faded hair is not sinful, we all desire to retain our youthful appearance and at tractiveness. By darkening your hair with Wyeth's Sage and Sul- ,phur Compound, no one can tell, because it does it so naturally, so evenly. You just dampen a sponge or soft brush with it 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
