A stdppllcallons of a Simple
Remedy Will Bring back
the Natural [lolor
“Pull out one my hair and a dozen
will take its place." is an old saying.
which is, to a great extent true, if no
steps are taken to stop the cause.
When gray hairs appear this a sign
that Nature needs assistance. it is his
ture’a call for help. Gray hair, dull,
lifeless hair. or hair that is falling out,
is lrct necessarily a sign of advancing
age, for there are thousands of elderly
out a single streak of gray.
When gray hairs come. or when the
hair seems to be lifeless or dead, some
good. reliable hair-restoring treatment
should be resorted to at once. Special-
ists say that one of the best prepara
tions to use is the old-fashioned “sage
tea" which our grandparents used. The
best preparation of this kind is Wy-
cth’s Sage and Sulphur Hair Remedy.
a preparation of domestic sage and
sulphur, scientifically compoundedl
with later discovered hair tonles and
stimulants, the whole mixture being
carefully balanced and tested by ex-‘
ports. ' .
Wyetllr's Sage and Sulphur is clean
and wholesome and perfectly harur~
less. it refreshes dry. numbed hair,
removes dandruff and gradually re.
stores faded or gray hair to its natural
color.
liou't delay another minute, Start
using Wyéth's Sage and Sulphur at
once and see what a .. derence a few
days' treatment will make in your hair.

public at fifty cents a bottle, and is
