SECRET TO - DARKEN GRAY HAIR Bring back color, gloss and thickness with Grandma's recipe of Sag and Sulphur. - Common garden sage brewed into a heavy tea, with sulphur and alcohol agded, will turn gray, streaked and faded hair beautifully dark and luxuri- ant; remove every bit of dandruff, stop scalp itching and falling hair. Mixing the Sage Tea and Sulphur re- _cipe at home, though, is troublesome. “ An easier way is to get the ready-to- use tonic, costing about 50 cents a Jarge bottle, at drug stores, known as | “Wyeth’s Sage and Sulphur Com- ‘bound,” thus avoiding a lot of muss. While wispy, gray, faded hair is not sinful, we all desire to retain our youthful appeararce and attractive- hess. By darkening your hair with Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur, no one can tell, because it does it so naturally, so evenly. You just dampen a sponge ['or soft brush with it and draw this through your hair, taking one small sttand at a time; by morning all gray hairs have disappeared.
