  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.
