AN OLD RECIPE
| TO DARKEN HAIR
saoa 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
oct This mixture was to make it at
home h which is mussy and troublesome.
Nowadays we simply ask at any drug
store for "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur
Compound" You will get large bot
tie of this old-time recipe improved b.
the addition of other ingredients, at
very little cost. Everybody uses this
PREPARATION now, because no one can
possibly tell that you darkened your
hair, as it does it so naturally and even
", 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 application or two, your
hair becomes beautifully dark, thick and
glossy and you look years younger.
