I am not sure, I didn't check on it. The sign that I saw on the door said
"Free Antibiotics", I didn't notice any qualifiers.

It's for everyone. There's a list of 4-6 antibiotics that they will not
charge you for.

Penicillin is probably cheap enough by now that they can afford to do this.
I also suggested my neighbor check K-Mart. But Village Corner gave us better
prices one time, by suggesting we buy 50 10mg instead of 10 50mg pills, since
the smaller ones were much cheaper because they sell more of them or
something. And they seem very patient and friendly. Perhaps my neighbor
could mail-order his pills some place in 3-month amounts.

Tell him to check out both the Ornish and McDougall plans. There is
clinical evidence that both of them reverse the effects of heart disease
and can reduce the need for medication for diabetics. McDougall has a
more extensive web site with all the info about his plan available,
along with an e-newsletter and discussion forum. There are also a
number of McDougall cookbooks. I recommend the _Quick and Easy_ one for
starters.

This is someone who is unlikely to make any big changes to what he eats so
we are suggesting just small ones. He likes southern cooking, fried foods,
lots of meat. We give him turnip greens sometimes. But I will ask him if
he wants me to check out those sites and summarize them for him. (He is not
on the internet and I don't think would understand too much of those sites
either). Could you give me a very brief idea of what is there?

McDougall advocates a strict vegan diet without oil. He worked in
Hawaii for a while after he was out of med school and noticed that the
children of Asian immigrants there were getting all the diseases common
in the West -- heart disease, diabetes, high blood pressure, arthritis,
etc etc -- while the parents stayed very healthy into old age. He
studied what both groups ate, since that was the biggest difference
between the two, and developed his plan from there.
If your neighbor is unlikely to give up his Kentucky-fried diet, then I
doubt McDougall has anything that will interest him.

I agree, he is unlikely to make any large changes. Jim and I eat more like
you summarized and don't have diabetes or heart problems.
