Common garden sage brewed into a

i few applications will prove a revela
tion if your hair is fading, streaked or

blesome. An easier way is to get a
bottle of Wyeth’s Sage and Sulphur
Compound at any drug store all rcac'y
for use. Tills i3 the old-time recipe
Improved by the addition of other in

While wispy, gray, faded hair is net
sinful, we uil desire to retain our
youthful appearance and attractive

Wyeth’s Sage and Sulphur Compound,
no one can tell, because it does it so
naturally, so evenly. You just dampen
a sponge or soft brush with it and

EAT LESS MEAT
IT BACK HURTS
Take a glass of Salts to flush Kidney*
if Bladder bothers you—Brink
lots of water.
Eating meat, regularly eventually pro
duces kidney trouble in some form or
other, says a well-known authority, be
cause the uric acid in meat excites the
kidneys, they become overworked; get
sluggish; clog up and cause all sorts of
distress, particularly backache and mis
ery in the kidney region; rheumatic twin
ge's, severe headaches, acid stomach, eon
elipatiou, torpid liver, sleeplessness,
bladder and urinary irritation.
'the moment your back hurts or kid
neys aren’t acting right, or if bladder
bothers you, get about four ounces of
Jad Salta from any good pharmacy;
take a tablespoonful in a glass of water
before breakfast for a few days and your
kidneys will then act fine. This famous
salts is made from the acid of grapes
and lemon juice., combined with litkia,
and has been used for generations to
flush clogged kidneys and stimulate them
to normal activity,; also to neutralize the
acids in the urine so it no longer irri
tates, thus ending bladder disorders. d?
■Tad Salta cannot injure anyone;
makes a delightful effervescent lithia
water drink winch millions of men and
women take now and tlic-n to keep the
kidneys and urinary organs clean, thua
