Staphisagria [Staph]

      Some children seem to attract lice like molasses does flies. Von Villars reported such a case and cured it with Staphisagria 30th, internally. Seems absurd, but so it was reported. The mother told him in answer to his first rough, Why don’t you keep the child cleaner? that she did, but no matter how often she washed and combed it the lice would soon appear. Well, with unbelief, he gave Staphisagria 30 and, after one washing, the lice never appeared again. So reported in an old German medical journal.
