HAV DM AIR E AND LOOK YOUNG Don't stay gray I Nobody can tell when you darken gray, faded hair with Sage Tea and Sulphur. Grandmother kept her hair beautifully darkened, glossy and abundant with a brew of Sage Tea and Sulphur. When ever her hair fell out or took on that dull, faded or streaked appearance, this simple mixture was applied with won derful effect. By asking at any drug store for "Wyeth'a Sage and Sulphur Hair Remedy," you will get a large bottle of this old-time recipe, ready to use, far about 60 cents. This simple mixture con be depended upon to restore natural color and beauty to the hair and is splendid for dandruff, dry, itchy scalp and falling hair. A well-known downtown druggist says everybody uses Wyeth'a Sago and Sul phur, because it darkens eo naturally and evenly that nobody can tell it has been applied it's so easy to use, too. You simply dampen a comb or soft brush and draw it through your hair, taking one strand at a time. By morning tho gray hair disappears ; after another appli cation or two, it ie restored to its natural color and looks glossy, soft and abun dant. - Notice of Annual School . Meeting.
