Your hair is your echarm. It makes or mars the face. When it fades, turns gray or streaked, Just 'an application or two of Sage and Sulphur enhances its appearance a hundredfold. Don't bother to prepare the mix- ture; you can get this famous old recipe improved by the addition of other ingredients for 50 cents a large bottle, all ready for use. It is call- ed Wyeth"s Sage and Sulphur Com- pound. This can, always be de- pended upon to bring back the nat- ural color and lustre of your hair Everybody uses "Wyeth's" Sage and Sulphur Compound now because it darkens no naturally and evenly that nobody can tell iff has been ap- plied.
