The use of Sage and Sulphur for re storing faded, gray hair to its natural color dates back to grandmother's tlms. Bhe used it to keep her hair beautifully dark, glossy and abundant Whenever her hair fell out or took on that dull, faded or streaked appearance, this elm pis rnlxturo was applied with wonderful effect. But brewing at home Is rnussy and out-of-date. Nowadays, by asking at any drug store, for a SO cunts bottle ot "Wyeth's. Sage and Sulphur Hair Item t&y," you will get this famous old recipe which can bo depended upon to restore natural color and beauty to the hair and la splendid for dandruff, dry, feverish, itchy scalp and falling hair. A well-known downtowh druggist says ft darkens the hair so naturally and evenly that nobpdy can tell 1t has heen applied. You. simply dampen a sponge or soft brush with it and draw this through your hair, taking one etrand at a time. By morning the gray hair dis appears, and after another application or two. it becomes beautifully dark, glossy, sett and abundant. dvertinenl.
