about coloring her gray, faded or
streaked hair / say. go ahead, :"
and tell her the secret of sage tea
and sulphur.
A brew of common garden sage
tea and sulphur has the power to
restore gray or faded hair to full
life and color. You can either pre-.
pare the mixture at home or buy
it already prepared and ready to
use. The name of the prepared
article is Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur
and since IT costs only 75c bottle
at any drug store. there is really no
need to go to the bother of prepar.
ing it yourself.
You simply moisten a comb or
soft brush and draw 1t through your
hair, one strand at a time. Done
at night. morning sees the gray
gone; another application or two
and your hair Is once again of the
color and lustre of youth and you
appear years younger. The whole
effort Is one Of perfect naturalness.
