Nowadays, though, we don’t have the troublesome task of gathering the sage and the mussy mixing at home. All drug stores sell the ready-to-use prod uct, improved by the addition of other ingredients, called ‘‘Wyeth’s Sage and Sulphur Compound." It is very popu lar because nobody can discover it has been applied. Simply moisten your comb or a soft brush with it and draw this through your hair, taking one small strand at a time; by morning the gray hair disappears, but what delights the ladies with Wyeth’s Sage and Sulphur Compound, is that, besides beautifully darkening the hair after a few applica tions, it also produces that soft lustre and appearance of abundance which is to attractive.
