To Darken Hair,
Apply Sage Tea
A few applications of Sage Te and
Sulphur htinirs back Its vigor,
color, gloss and tbiclutea.
Common garden sage brewed Into a
heavy tea with sulphur snd alcohol added,
will turn gray, streaked and faded, hair
beautifully dark and luxuriant, remove
every bit of dandruff, stop scalp Itching
and falling hair. Just a few applications
will prove a revelation if your hair la
fading, gray or dry, scraggly and thin.
Mixing the Sage Tea and Sulphur recipe
at home, though, is troublesome. An easier
way Is to get the ready-to-use tonla, cost
ing about 60 cents a large bottle at drug
stores, known aa "Wyeth's Bags and Sul
phur Compound," thus avoiding a lot of
inues.
While wispy, gray, faded hair la not
sinful, we all desire to retain our youth
ful appearance and attractiveness. By
darkening .your hair with Wyeth's Saga
and Sulphur, no one can tell, because It
does so naturally, so evenly. You Just
dampen a sponge or soft brush with It
snd draw this through your hair, taking
one small strand at a time; by morning
all gray hairs, have disappeared, and,
after another application or two, your
hslr becomes beautifully dark, glossy,
soft and luxuriant. Advertisement.
