AN OLD RECIPE 7]
TO DARKEN HAIR
Sage Tea and Sulphur Turn*
Gray, Faded Hair Dark
and Glossy
Almost everyone knows that Sage
Tea and Sulphur, properly compound¬
ed, brings back the natural color and
lustre to the hair when faded, streaked
or gray. Years ago the only way to
get this mixture was to make tt at
home, which is mussy and troublesome.
Nowadays we simply ask at any drug
store for “Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur
Compound.” You will get a large bot¬ b?
tle of this old-time recipe improved
the addition of other ingredients, ” af
very little cost. Everybody uses thin
preparation now, because no one can
possibly tell that you darkened your
hair, as it does it so naturally and even¬
ly. You dampen a sponge or soft brush
witn it and draw this through your hair,
taking one small strand at a time; by
morning the gray hair disappears, and
after another application or two, your
hair becomes beautifully dark, thick and
glossy and you look years younger,
