FEW FOLKS HAVE
 GRAY HAIR NOW
Druggist Says Ladies Are Using Recipe Of Sage Tea and
 Sulphur

Hair that loses its color and iustrc, or when II fades, turns gray, dull and lifeless, is caused by lack of sulphur in the hair. Our grandmother made up a 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 att tractive. use only this old-timc recipe.
 Nowadays we get this famous mix- ture improved by the addition of other ingredients by asking at any drug store for q bottle of "Myeth's Sage and Sul- phur Compound" which darkens the hair so naturally, so evenly, that mo- body can possibly tell it has been ap- pied. You just dampen a sponge or soft brush with 1t and draw this through your hair, taking one small strand at time By morning the gray han disappears; but what delights the ladies with Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound is that, besides beautifully darkening the hair after few zpplica- tlons. |, also brings back the gloss and lustre and gives 1t an appearance of abundance.
