DARKEN GRAY HAIR,
LOOK YOUNG, PRETTY
Sage Tea and Sulphur Darkens
So Naturally that No
body can Tell.

Hair that loses its color and lustre,
or when it fades, turns gray, dull and
lifeless, is caused by lack of sulphur
in the hair. Our grandmother made
up mixture of Sage Tea and Sulphur
to keep her locks dark and beautiful,
and thousands of women and men who
value that even color, that beautiful
dark shade of hair which is so attrac-
tive, use only this old-time recipe.
Nowadays we get this famous mix
ture, improved by the addition of other
ingredients, by asking at any drug store
for bottle of "Wyeth's Sage and
Sulphur Compound" which darkens the
hair so naturally, SO evenly, that no.
body can possibly tell it has been APP
piled. You Just dnmpen a sponge or
soft brush with it and draw this through
your hair, taking one small strand at q
time. BY morning the gray hair dis
appears; but what delights the ladies
with Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com
pound is that besides beautifully dark
ening the hair after a few applications,
it also brings back the gloss and lustre
and gives it an appearance Of abundance
