GRANDMOTHERS USED SAGE TEA To Darken the Hair sxiA Restore Gray and Faded Hair to Its Natural Color It Is easier to preserve the color of the hair than to restore it, although it is possible to do both. Our grandmothers understood the secret. They made a "sage tea," and their dark. glossy hair long after middle life was due to this fact.

Our mothers have gray hair before they are fifty, but they are beginning to appreciate tha wisdom of our grandmothers in using "sage tea" for their hair and are fast following suit. The present generation has the advantage of the past In that it can get a ready to use preparation called Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Hair Remedy. As a scalp tonic and color restorer this preparation Is vastly superior to the ordinary "sage tea" mad by our grandmothers. The growth and beauty of the depends on a healthy condition of the scalp. Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Hair Remedy quickly kills the dandruff germs which rob the hair of its life, color and lustre, makes the scalp clean and healthy, gives the hair strength, color and beauty, and makes It grow.
