David J. Peck's Or Perish in the Attempt ingeniously combines the remarkable adventures of Lewis and Clark with an examination of the health problems their expedition faced. Formidable problems indeed, but the author patiently, expertly--and humorously--guides us through the medical travails of the famous journey, juxtaposing treatment then against remedy now. The result is a fascinating book that sheds new light not only on Lewis and Clark and the men and one remarkable woman (and her infant) who accompanied them along an eight-thousand-mile wilderness path but also on the practice of medicine in their time and place.

Amazing. Ordering more
Color: White, Size: Standard (Pack of 4)
These are amazing and the price is crazy. I'm buying a few more sets. The color is white/white, which I love. They are so soft, not flimsy at all. A great value. Well made, the seams are well sown and the envelope casing even ups the look

Super soft and worth it
Color: Light Grey, Size: 2 Pack King(20"X 36")
Honestly really happy with these pillowcases. They feel super soft and cool when you sleep on them. My hair has been way less messy in the morning too. The quality actually feels pretty nice and the king size fit perfectly. Makes my bed feel a lot more comfortable and expensive looking. Definitely glad I bought them.

SO WORTH THE PRICE
Color: Pink, Size: Queen(20"X 30")
I bought these in two colors for my new apartment with some new pillows to go on them because I got a whole new set of sheets and comforter for my bed and I have to say these are some of the softest most comfortable cooling pillow cases ever! The silk is not super great quality but for the price it's totally worth it I've noticed that it takes care of my hair better I never used silk pillow cases before... But I don't think I'll ever go back. And the zip closed with a zipper so they stay on your pillow no problem without sliding around and you having to fix them all the time they're so easy to use and they look perfect. They look exactly like the pictures! Definitely worth the price... Oh, and there's no weird smell or anything these are definitely good quality!
