AN OLD RECIPE
TO DARKEN HAIR
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
troublesome.
Nowadays we simply ask at any
drug store for "Wyeth's Sage and
Sulphur Compound" You will get a
large bottle OF this old-time recipe
improved by the addition of other
ingredients, 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 sponge or soft brush with
it and draw this through your hair,
taking one small strand at time;
by morning the gray hair disappears,
and after another application or two,
your hair becomes beautifully dark,
thick and glossy and you look years
younger.
