Subj: [DR-L] Where to buy pure lanolin
Date: Fri, 03 Mar 2006 22:36:11 -0500

Pure Lanolin can be purchased on the web at www.commonsensefarm.com for
$9.00 Us for a 1.9 oz tin One tin will last you a very long time. It is
about the size of a shoe shine tin. Since it is pure, it will not go rancid
or anything like that.
