Q OLD-TIME REMEDY DARKENS THE HAIR. Gives Color, Lustre to Faded and Gray Hair—Dandruff Quickly Removed. For generations sage and sulphur ■ have been used for hair and scalp j troubles. Almost everyone knows the value of such a combination for keeping the hair a good even color, for curing dandruff, itching scalp and falling hair, and for promoting the growth of the-hair. Years ago the onlyway to get a hair tonic of this kind was to make it in the home, which was troublesome and not always satisfac- 1 tory. Nowadays, almost any up-to-date druggist cau supply his patrons with a ready-to-use product, skillfully prepared in perfectly equipped laboratories. An ideal preparation of this sort is I Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Hair Rem- | edy, in which sage and sulphur are i combined with other valuable remedies for scalp troubles and thin, weak i hair that is losing its color or coming I out. After using this remedy tor a few | days, you will notice the color gradu- : ally coming back, your scalp will feel | better, the dandruff will soon be gone,J j and in less than a month’s time there . 1 will be a wonderful difference in your hair. Don’t neglect your hair if it is full of dandruff, losing its color or coming out. Get a fifty cent bottle of Wyeth’s Sage and Sulphur from your druggist, and see what a few days’ treatment will do for you. All drug- ' gists sell it, under guarantee that the’ money will be refunded if the remedy ' is not exactly as represented. m-w-f o NOTIC7. All meat markets will close at 12 I o'clock July 4th for the remainder of I the day. ; —-- o Democrat Want Ads Pay
