' 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, streaky and faded hair
beautifully dark and luxuriant. Just
a few applications will prove a revela
tion if your hair is fading, streaked or
gray. Mixing the Sage Tea and Sul
phur recipe at home, though, is trou
blesome. An easier way is to get a
bottle of Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur
Compound at any drug store all ready
for use. This is the old-time recipe
Improved by the addition of other in
gredients.
While wispy, gray, faded hair is not
sinful, we all desire to retain our
youthful appearance and attractive
ness. By darkening your hair with
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
draw this through your hair, taking
one small strand at a time; by morning
all gray hairs have disappeared, and.
after another application or two, your
hair becomes beautifully dark, glossy
soft and luxuriant.
This preparation is a delightful toilet
requisite and is not intended for the
cure, mitigation er prevention of dis

DOCTOR GIVES MAN
VIN HEPATICA
AS LAST RESORT
Mule Had Run Away With Law
rence County Farmer—Com
plications Arose That Baf
fled All Remedies Till Doc
tor Gave Vin Hepatica
W. W. Kelley, aged 5S, well-known
farmer, of Route No. 3, Leona, Teun.,
and former merchant, who was so bad
ly hurt several years ago by a mule
running away wiih him, and for a long
while in such a serious condition as a
result of his injuries, has recovered
and is at his work again.
Mr. Kelley says: “If anybody ever
was in a terrible condition, I was, until
my doctor discovered the right medi
cine for me. 1 had to quit farming and
go into the merchandising business,
hut my injuries were such that I broke
down in my kidneys and suffered great
ly from rheumatism. 1 got so run
down that I could not sleep. Had to
get up a dozen times a night on ac
count of my kidneys. I tried all sort3
of tonics and remedies without any
help at all. Had to quit business.
“One day my doctor gave me a sam
ple bottle of Vin Hepatica and told me
to try that. And I did. It relieved me
so much that I had my wife to takp
some of it, too, and I can safely say
that anybody who is in a rundown con
dition can not miss it if they take Vin
Hepatica. It is certainly a wonderful
medicine, just as my doctor said it
was.”
This is just the way thousands and
thousands talk about Vin Hepatica,
because it is Nature’s own remedy for
kidney, liver, stomach and bowel trou
bles; rheumatism, impure blood, nerv
ousness, sleeplessness, rundown, weak
condition, etc. It is not a patent nos
trum, nor a king cure-all, but a com
bination of eight of the finest herbal
remedies known to medical science.
We strongly recommend this great
Nature remedy. Come and get a bottle
and try it, on our recommendation.
You will like it and it will do you good.
