SAGE TEA DARKENS GRAY HAIR TO ANY SHADE TRY ITl Keep Your Locks Youthful, Dark, Glossy and Thick With Garden Sage and Sulphur. When you darken your hair with Sage Tea and Sulphur, no one can tell, because it's done so naturally, so evenly. Preparing this mixture, though, at home is mussy and trouble­ some. For 50 cents you can buy at any drug store the ready-to-use tonio called "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Hair Remedy." You just dampen a sponge or soft brush with ^lt and draw this through your hair, taking one small strand at a time. By morn­ ing all gray hair disappears, and, after another application or two, your hair becomes beautifully darkened, glossy and luxuriant. You will also dis­ cover dandruff is gone and hair has stopped falling. Gray, faded hair, though no dis­ grace, is a sign of old age, and as wc all desire a youthful and attractive ap» pearance, get busy at once with Wy­ eth's Sage and Sulphur and look years younger.
