TURN HAIR DARK
WITH SAGE TEA
If Mixed With sgllphur 1t Darkens So
Naturally Nobody
Can Tell.

The oId-time mixture of Sage Tea
and Sulphur for darkening gray,
streaked and faded hair is grandmoth-
er's recipe, and folks are again using it
to keep their hair good, even color,
which is quite sensible, as we are living
in an age when youthful appearance
is of the greatest advantage.
Nowadays, though, we don't have
the troublesome task of gathering the
sage and the mussy mixing at home.
All drug stores sell the ready-to-use
product, improved by the addition of
other ingredients, called "Wyeth's Sage
and Sulphur Compound" It is very
popular because nobody can discover
it has been applied. Simply moisten
your comb or soft brush with it and
draw this through your hair, taking
one small strand at time; by morn
ing 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 a few applications, it also pro-
duces that soft lustre and appearance
of abundance which is so attractive
