J GRAY HAIR NOW i 1 Druggist Says Ladies Are Us- } iug Recipe of -Sage Tea 1 and Sulphur. 1 Hair that loses its color and lustre, or when it fades, turns gray, dull and : lifeless, is caused by a lack of sulphur I in the hair. Our grandmother made } up a mixture of Sago Tea and Sulphur to keep her locks dark and beautiful, i and thousands of women and men who value that even color, that beautiful dark shade of hair which is so attractive, use only this old-lime recipe. Nowadays we get this famous mixture improved by the addition of other ingredients by asking at any drug ‘ store for it bottle of ” Wyeth’s Sage I and Sulphur Compound,” which dark- j ena the hair so naturally, so evenly, f that nobody can possibly tell it has t been applied. You just dampen a ‘ sponge or soft brush with it and d/aw 1 this through your hair, taking 0110 I small strand at a time. By morning ] the gray hair disappears; but what ( delights the ladies with Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound is that, he- r sides beautifully darkening the hair r i after a few applications, it also brings e I back the gloss and .lustre and gives it |an appearance of abundance.
