Hello Newzealandwiganer. The purple stuff was Gentian violet, it was used on impetigo, ringworm and other skin conditions, not on head lice or the nits. It always seemed to be the kid with clinic glasses and a hole in his ganzey and shoe for that matter, that had the purple face or head. I know this because he was my mate. It was a normal sight around the Ince clinic in the early sixties. The head lice was dealt with the one who was feared most....'Nitty Norah The Bug Explorer'!
