> Don't bother to preparetthe mixture;
you can get this famous old recipe im
proved by the addition of other ingre

It is called Wyeth's Sage and Sulphor
Compound. This can always be de
pended upon to bring back the natural
' color and lustre of your hair.
Everybody uses "Wyeth's" Sage and
Sulphur Compound now because it
darkens so naturally and evenly that
nobody can tell it has been applied.
You simply dampen a sponge or soft
brush with it and draw this throtgh
the hair, taking one small strand at a
time; by morning the gray bait has
disappeared, and after another applicn
