TO DARKEN HAIR
 APPLY SAGE TEA
Look Young! Bring Back Its Natural Color, Gloss
 and Attractiveness

Common garden sage brewed into a heavy tea with sulphur added, will turn gray, streaked and faded hair beautifully dark and luxuriant. Just a few ap- plications will prove a revelation if your hair is fading, streaked or gray. Mixing the Sage Tea and Sulphur recipe at home. though, is troublesome. An easier way is to get bottle of Wyeths Sage and Sulphur Compound at any drug store all ready for use for only 75 cents. This is the old time recipe improved by the ad- dition of other ingredients.
 While wispy, gray faded hair is not sinful, we all desire to re- tain our youthful appearance and attractiveness. By darkening your hair with Wyeth's Sage and Sul- phur Compound, no one can tell, because 1t does it so naturally, so evenly You just dampen a sponge or soft brush with 1t and draw this through your hair, taking one small strand at a time; by morning all gray hairs have disappeared. and, after an- other application or two, your hair becomes beautifully dark, glossy, soft and luxuriant. adv.
