Another story Digest Number 1427

[Cl.Mennel]

Dear Listees,

there is another story about combinations.

At the beginning of the last century, while the great German
revolutionary Rosa Luxemburg was discussing political issues with her
friends, her little daughter was bored to death and started looking
around in the other room. There she found in a drawer with several
homoeopathic rememdies. The inquisitive child oppened the bottles looked
at the globuli and found out that they tasted really good and so she
started eating them. There the little girl sat enjoying the sweetness of
sugar for quite some time. After the discussion had finished, her mother
found out what had happened and was very worried.
Fortunately, the child didn't suffer from any symptoms or other side
effect.

It is said that most probably, the different remedies antidoted each
other.
bye bye
