DARKEN YOUR GRAY HAIR L"W Grandma. . Tea sad Hnlphur Recipe and Nobody Will Know. The use of Sage and Sulphur for restoring faded, gray hair to its natural color dates back to grandmother's time. She used It to keep her hair beautifully dark, glossy and attractive. Whenever her hair took on that dull, faded or streaked appearance, this sim ple mixture was applied, with wonderful effect. Rut brewing at borne Is mussy and out of date. Nowadays, by asking at any drug store for a bottle of "Wyeth's Sage and Sul phur Compound," you will get this famous old preparation, ira proved by the addition of other Ingredients, which can be de pended upon to restore natural color and beauty to the hair. A well known downtown drug gist says.it darkens the hair so naturally and evenly that nobody can tell it has been applied. You simply dampen a sponge or soft brush with it and draw this through your hair, taking one strand at a time. Ry morning the gray hair -disappears, and af ter another application or two It becomes beautifully dark and glossy.
