A well-known downtown druggist says it darkens the hair so naturally and evenly that nobody can Jtell it has been applied.' You simply dampen, it and draw this through your hair, taking one. strand at a time. By morn ing the gray hair disappears, and after another application or two, it becomes beautifully dark and glossy. Wyeth's Sage and .
