Ah, Fran,
I so love your posts; I commiserate with you in your deprivation. Where I live
there is WalMart. That's it! Unless there might be something at $ General or
the hardware store.

treatment of disease. Red flannel underskirts certainly appear earlier
than the Victorian period.

I seem to remember that Queen Elizabeth I was wrapped in red flannel when
she had smallpox.
