TO DARKEN MIR
APPLÏ SAGE TEA
Look Young! Bring Back Its
Natural Color, Gloss and
Attractiveness.
Common garden eagre brewed Into a
heavy tea with sulphur added, will turn
?ray, streaked and faded hair beauti
ully dark and luxuriant. Just a few
applications will prove a revelation if
your hair is fading, streaked or gray.
Mixing the Sage Tea and Sulphur recipe
Ht home, though, is troublesome. An
easier way is to get a 60 cent bottle of
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound at
Îtny drug store all ready for use. This
s the old time recipe Improved by the
addition of other Ingredients.
While wispv, gray, faded hair Is not
alnful, we all desire to retain our youth
Jul appearance and attractiveness. By
arkenlng your hair with Wyeth's Sage
and Sulphur Compound, no on ecan tell,
because it does it so naturally, so even
iy. You Just dampen a sponge or soft
•rush 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 appli- .
cation or two, your hair becomes beau- ι
tlfully dark, glossy, soft and luxuriant.
This preparation is a delightful toilet1
requisite and is not Intended for the
eure, mitigation or prevention of dis
ease.—Adv. _ .. . i
