Weird Illig Underwear ad from 1891 Erie, PA

-ad in Erie Daily Times, February 27, 1891.
Another weird Erie ad. This one cracked me up.

"If you are in need of Gents' Fine Scarlet and Natural Wool Medicated Underwear. Call and examine our line. Daniel Illig, 1106 State St. A new line of Mackintoshes and Umbrellas just received."

What the heck are fine scarlet and natural wool medicated underwear?
