SAGE TEA KEEPS
YOUR HAIR DARK
When Mixed with Sulphur If
Brings Back Its Beautiful
Lustre at Once.

Cray hair, however handsome, de-
notes advancing age. We all know
the advantages OF a youthful appear
ance. Your hair Is your charm. It
makes OF mars the face. When 1t
fades, turns gray and looks streaked,
just a few applications Of Sage Tea
and Sulphur enhances it's appearance
a hundred-fold.
Don't stay gray! Look young!
Either prepare the recipe at home or
get from any drug store a bottle OF
''Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com
pound" which Is merely the old-time
recipe improved by the addition Of
other ingredients. Thousands Of folks
recommend this ready-to-use prepare
ton, because 1t darkens the hair beau
tifully, besides, no one can possibly
tell, as II darkens so naturally and
evenly. You moisten a sponge or soft
brush with it, drawing this through
the hair, taking one small strand at
a time. BY morning the gray hair
disappears; after another application
or two, its natural color is restored
and 1t becomes thick, glossy and lus-
trous, and you appear years younger.
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com
pound is a delightful toilet requisite.
It is not intended for the cure, miti-
cation or prevention OF disease.
