Restore Color, Gloss and
Attractiveness.

Tea and Sulphur, properly compound
ed, brings back the natural color and
lustre to the hair when faded, streak
ed or gray. Years ago the only way
to get this mixture was to make It at
home, which la mussy and trouble
some. Nowadays, by asking at any
drug store for “ W yeth’s Sage and Sul
phur Compound,” you will get a large
bottle of this famous old recipe, im
proved by the addition of other In
gredients, for about 60 cents.

can possibly tell that you darkened
your hair, as It does It so naturally
and evenly. You dampen a sponge or
soft brush with It and draw this
through your hair, taking one small
strand at a time: by morning the gray
hair disappears, and after another ap
plication or two, your hair becomes
beautifully dark, glossy and attractive.
