GOMB SAGE TEA IN FADED OR GRAY HAIR If Mixed with Sulphur it Darkens so Naturally Nobody can Tell. Grandmother kept her hair beautl fully darkened, glossy and attractive with a brew of Sago Tea and Sulphur. Whenever her hair took on that dull, faded or streaked uppcuir.inee, this sim ple mixture was applied with wonder ful effect. Hy asking at any. drug store for "Wycth's Sago and Sulphur Compound," you will get a large bot tle of this old-time recipe. Improved by the addition of other Ingredients, all ready to use, at very little cost. This simple mixture can be depended upon to restore nuturul color and bduuty to the hair. A well-known downtown druggist says everybody uses wyeth a Sago and Sulphur Compound now becauso It darkens so naturally and ovchly that nobody ran toll 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 tha gray hair disappears; after another application or two, It is restored to Its natural color and looks glossy, soft and beautiful. This preparation Is a delightful toilet requisite. It is not in tended for the cure, mitigation or pre yvnuvn oi Qisijase, Rogue E VOTE TREES FOR CO.
