Nobody can' Tell when you
Darken Gray, Faded Hair
with Sage Tea.
♦
Grandmother kept her hair beauti
fully darkened, glossy and attractive
with a brew of Sage Tea and Sulphur.
Whenever her hair took on that dull,
faded or streaked appearance, this sim
ple mixture was applied with wonder
ful effect By asking at any drug
Btore for “Wyeth’s Sage and Sulphur
Compound,” you will get a large bot
tle of this old-time recipe, improved
by the addition of other Ingredients, all
ready to use, at very little cost. This
simple mixture can be depended upon
to restore natural color and beauty to
the hair.
A well-known downtown druggist
says everybody uses Wyeth’s Sage and
__^ _£ulphur Compound now because it
darkens so naturally and evenly that
nobody can tell it has been applied—
it’s so easy to use, too. You simply
dampen a comb or soft brush and
draw It through your hair, taking one
strand at a time. By morning the
gray hair disappears; after another
application or two, it Is restored to its
natural color and looks glossy, soft
and beautiful. This preparation is a
delightful toilet requisite. It is not In
tended for the cure, mitigation or pre
vention of disease.
