FEW FOLKS HAVE
GRAT HAIR HOW
Drufnpot Says Ladies Are Using
Recipe of Sage Tea and
Sulphur
Hair that loses lts color and lus
tre, or when it fades, turns era;,
dull and Ufol'ss, is caused by a
lack of sulphur in the hair. Our
grandmother made up a mixture of
Sage Tea and Sulphur to keep her
locks dark and beautiful,jand thou
sands of women and men who value
that even color, that beautiful
lurk shade of hair which is so at
tractive, use only this old-time roc
tpe.
Nowadays we get this famous
mixture improved by the addition of
other ingredients- by asking at any
drug store for a bottle of “Wyeth's;
I Sage and Sulphur Compound.”
which darkens the hair so naturally,
so evenly, that nobody can possibly
tell it has been applied Vou just
dampen a sponge or soft brush with
it and draw fills through your hair,
taking or.s strand at a' time. I)y
morning the gray hair disappears;
but what delights the ladles with
Wyeth’s Sage and Sulphur Compound
Is thut, besides beautifully darken
ing the hair after a few applications,
It also brings back the gloss and,
I lustre and gives it an appearance!
