COMB SAGE TEA
 INTO GRAY HAIR
Darkens Beautifully and Restores Its Natural Color and
 Lustre at Once.

Common garden sage brewed into heavy tea, with sulphur and alco- hol added, will turn gray, streaked and faded hair beautifully dark and luxuriant. Mixing the Sage Tea and Sulphur recipe at home, though is troublesome. An easier way is to get the ready-to-use preparation im- proved by the addition of other in gradients large Dottle, at little cost, at drug stores, known as "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com pound," thus avoiding lot of muss.
 While gray, faded hair is no. sim full, we all desire to retain our youthful appearance and attractive ness. By darkening your hair With Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com pound. no one can tell, because it does it so naturally. so evenly. You must dampen sponge or soft brush with it and draw this through your hair, taking one small strand at a time; by mt rning all gray hairs have disappeared. After another ap- plication or two your hair becomes beautifully dark, glossy. soft and iuxuriant and you appear years younger. Advertisement
