[Vwoolf] puple haze

[Jeremy Hawthorn]

The overwhelming likelihood, I take it, is that the purple is the result 
of some condition such as malnutrition. But I do recall that as a child 
I was daubed with various unguents and patent medicines that turned the 
skin various colours, including mauve. Do I recall correctly that one of 
them was permangunate of potash? Or was that what I used when my 
goldfish got fungal infections? Could one of these have been a treatment 
for sties?
