Yuck!

Tonight I had a bit of an upset stomach so I was in search for medicine like Tums. Hiroshi pulls out this bottle of "very good medicine for [me]". I don't know what this stuff was, but it smelled like a combination of rotten Vics and smoking wet tree branches. It was foul! Not to mention that each "pill" looked like a little mouse turd - round and browny-black. I took them anyway. I think the side effects are worse than the upset stomach I started with. Maybe it was the tree resins - the ingredient list on the medicine looked like a run-down of resins from about five different trees. Give me Tums anyday!
