GRAY HAIR DARK
It's Grandmother's Recipe to Bring
Color, Lustre and Thickness to Hair
When Faded, Streaked or Gray
That beautiful, even shade of dark,
glossy hair can only be had by brewing
a mixture of Sage Tea and Sulphur.
Your hair is your charm. It makes or
mars the face. When it fades, turns
gray, streaked and looks dry, wispy and
s " a ggy. just an application or two of
Sage and Sulphur enhances its appear
ance a hundredfold.
Don't bother to prepare the tonic;
you can get from any drug store a 50-
cent bottle of "Wyeth's Sage and Sul
phur Compound," ready to use. This
can always be depended upon to bring
back the natural color, thickness and
lustre of your hair and remove dandruff,
stop scalp itching and falling hair.
Everybody uses "Wyeth's" Sage and
Sulphur 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 through the hair, taking one small
strand at a time; by morning the gray
hair has disappeared, and after another
application it becomes beautifully dark
and appears glossy, lustrous and übun
dant.—Adv.

CATARRHjFOREVER
> Simple Hnw Treatment Deetreyi Germe
of This Dangerous Disease i
The reason why n many people who
suffer frem Catarrh sever ■earn tfble to
get cured i» that they are continually
seeking the momentary relief of sprays,
1 douches, greasy creams, ointments, ete.
Such things do open up the swollen nos
trils and clear the head temporarily,
besides stopping for a while the dis
gusting blowing, hawking, spitting and
choking, but they never cure. To drive
out Catarrh for gopd you have got to
get dow» to its real cause. Catarrh is a
germ disease. The air is always full of
catarrh germs thrown off by one person
and absorbed by another and when the
system does fail to throw off such germs
they find permanent lodgement in the
nose, throat and head and multiply
rapidly.
The germs of catarrh can best be de
stroyed by inhaling the pure .medicated
air of Hyomei (pronounced High-o-me).
This splendid and powerful combination
of oil of Eucalyptus with other healing
agents has a wonderful germicidal ac
tion. You breathe its air into your
nose, throat and lungs by means of a
small hard rubber inhaler which H. C.
Kennedy and other leading druggists
here in Harrisburg and vicinity supply
with every treatment. This medicated
air is certain- death to the germs of
Catarrh and drives them completely oat
of your systen\ and when the germs are
destroyed the catarrh with all its dis
agreeable symptoms will stop. Even
two or three minutes use will give re
freshing relief, while, if you will uae
it two or three times a day for a few
weeks it will completely banish catarrh
and every symptom of catanrh. As Hy
omei is peasant to breathe and is al
ways sold by druggists everywhere
with a positive guarantee of successful
results or "money back, surely no. Ca
tarrh' sufferers should go long before

several days past they have been en
gaging the enffiny.
