Sage Tea and Sulphur Turns
Gray, Faded Hair Dark
and Glossy.

Almost everyone knows that Sage
Tea and Sulphur, properly compound
ed, 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 "Wyeth's Sage and Sui.
phur Compound" You will get large
bottle of this old-time recipe improved
by the addition of other ingredients
at very little cost. Everybody uses
this preparation now, because no enc
can possibly tell that you darkened
your hair, as it does it so naturally
and evenly. You dampen a sponge or
soft brush with it and draw this
through your hair, taking one small
strand at a time; by morning the gray
hair disappears. and after another ap-
plication or two, your hair becomes
beautifully dark, thick and glossy and
you look years younger-Advertise-
ment.
