The old idea of using sage for darken ing the hair is again coming in vogue. Our grandmothers used to have dark, glossy hair at the ago of seventy-liv-. while our mothers have white hair before they are fifty. Our grandmothers used to make a “sage tea” and apply it their hair. The tea made their hair soft and glossy and gradually restored tin natural ^tolor. One objection to usiu£ sneh a preparation was the trouble yt making it, especially as it had to ha ! made every two or three days ou account of it souring quickly. This objection bag been overcome and by asking almost any first-class druggist for Wyeth's Saga and Sulphur the public can get a su perior preparation of sage, with the ad mixture of sulphur, another valuable rent edy for hair and scalp troubles. Daily use of this preparation will not only quickly restore the color of the hair but will also Slop the hair from failing out ' and make it grow.
