GRAY HAIR BECOMES
DARK AND BEAUTIFUL
Look years younger! Try Grand
mas recipe of Sage and Sui
phur and nobody will know.

Almost everyone knows that Sage
Tea and Sulphur, properly COM
pounded, brings back the natural color
and lustre to the hair when faded,
streaked or gray. Years ago the only
way to get this mixture was to make it
at home, which is mussy and trouble
some.
Nowadays we simply ask at any
drug store for 'fWyeth's Sage and Sui
phur Compound You will get a
large bottle of this old-time recipe i'm
proved by the addition of other in
gradients, at very little cost. Every
body uses this preparation now, be-
cause no one can possibly tell that
you darkened your hair, as it does it
SO naturally and evenly. You dampen
a sponge or soft brush with 1t and
draw this through your hair, taking
one small strand at a time; by morn
ing the gray hair disappears, and
after another application or two, your
hair becomes beautifully dark, thick
and glossy and you look years younger.
