EASY TO DARKEN '
YOUR GRAY HAIR
You can Bring Back Color and
Lustre with Sage Tea
and Sulphur.
When you darken your hair with
Sage Tea and Sulphur, no one can
tell, because it's done so naturally, so
evenly. Preparing this mixture,
though, at home is mussy and trouble
some. At little cost you can buy at
any drug store the ready-to-use prep
■> aration, improved by the addition of
Q OTftSr ingredients called “Wyeth’s Sage
and Sulphur Compound.” 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 hair disappears,
and. after another application or two,
your hair becomes beautifully dark
ened, glossy and luxuriant.
Gray, faded hair, though no dis
grace, is a sign of old age, and as we
all desire a youthful and attractive
appearance, get busy at once with
Wyeth’s Sage and Sulphur Compound
and look years younger. This ready
to-use preparation is a delightful toi
let requisite and not a medicine. It
is not Intended for the cure, mitiga
tion or prevention of disease.
For Sale—Ford car in good condi
tion. See Bert Snetser. 184dtf

ble before that time, therefore we are making prices * i
