DARKEN YOUR GRAY HAIR Use Grandma's Sage Tea and Sulphu: Recipe aad Nobody Will Know The use of Sage and Sulphur for re storing faded, gray hair to its natura color dates back to grandmother: time. She used it to keep her hair beautifully dark, glossy and attrac- tive. Whenever her hair took on tha* dull, faded or streaked appearance this simple mixture was applied witl wonderful effect, But brewing at home is mussy and out-of-date. Nowadays, by asking at any drug store for a bottle of “Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com- pound,” you will get this famous old preparation, improved by the additien of other ingredients, which can be depended upon to restore natural col or and beauty to the hair. A well-known downtown druggis: says it darkens the hair so natura and eveniy that nobody can tell it ha: been applied. You simply dampen : sponge or soft brush with it and draw this through your hair, taking one strand at a time 3y morning the gray hair disappears, and after an- other application or two, it becomes beautifully dark and glossy.
