When Mixed with Sulphur It
Brings Back Its Beautiful
Lustre at Once.
Gray hair, however handsome, de
notes advancing age. We all know
the advantages of a youthful appear
ance. Your hah is your charm. It
makes or mars the face. When It
Cades, turns gray and looks streaked,
just a few applications of Sage Tea
and Sulphur enhances Its appearance
i hundred-fold.
Don’t stay gray! Look young!
Either prepare the recipe at home or
get from any drug store a bottle of
“Wyeth’s Sage and Sulphur Com
pound,” which is merely the old-time
recipe Improved by the addition of
other ingredients. Thousands of folks
recommend this ready-to-use prepara
tion, because it darkens the hair beau
tifully, besides, no one can possibly
tell, as it darkens so naturally and
evenly. You moisten a sponge or soft j
brush with it, drawing this through i
the hair, taking one small strand at
a time. By morning the gray hair :
disappears; after another application
or two, its natural color is restored
and it becomes thick, glossy and lus
trous, and you appear years younger.
Wyeth’s Sage and Sulphur Com
pound is a delightful toilet requisite.
It is not intended for the cure, miti
gation or prevention of disease.

CATARRHAL DEAFNESS CAN
NOT BE CURED.
by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure ca
tarrhal deafness, and that is by a
constitutional remedy. Catarrhal
deafness is caused by an inflamed
condition of the mucous lining of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube is
inflamed you have a rumbling sound
or imperfect hearing, and when it is
entirely closed, Deafness is the re
sult. Unless the inflammation can
be reduced and this tube restored to
its normal condition, hearing will be
destroyed forever. Many cases of
deafness are caused by catarrh, which
is an inflamed condition of the mu
cous surfaces. Kali's Catarrh Medi
cine acts through the blood on the
mucous surfaces of the system.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of Catarrhal Deafness
that cannot be cured by Hall s Ca
tarrh Medicine. Circulars free. All
Druggists, 75c.
