Tums

Tums is an antacid made of sucrose (sugar) and calcium carbonate (CaCO3) manufactured by GlaxoSmithKline in St. Louis, Missouri, USA. They are also available sugar free. It is an over-the-counter drug and available at many retail stores, including drug stores, grocery stores and mass merchandisers. It provides relief from acid indigestion, heartburn, and indigestion ("sour stomach") and is considered a calcium supplement.

History

In 1928, Jim Howe, a pharmacist in St. Louis, Missouri, developed Tums in the basement of his home while treating his wife's indigestion. The remedy caught on, and commercial production began in 1930 by the Lewis-Howe Company, which took its name from Howe and his uncle, A. H. Lewis, who was a pharmacist in Bolivar, Missouri; Howe worked in his uncle's drugstore as a teenager.

In 1978 the company was purchased by Revlon of New York, making it no longer a St. Louis-based company. Revlon's Norcliff Thayer unit oversaw the Tums brand. Revlon spun Norcliff Thayer off to Beecham Group in 1986, and Beecham eventually became GlaxoSmithKline through a series of mergers.

    Tears are blazing as torches
    Intertwining completely
    Everything what is create
    The world is burning and on it's remains
    Will rise a new unwanted material
    Don't help me
    Don't pull your hand out
    A cold as a crystal and so indifferently
    Dreams are drowned, this fair and pure
    You are waiting for my end "novissima verba"
    But you will hear anything,
    My lips are close
    I'm quite, but my thoughts are swearing
    Flouncing in dark, I can't reach a breath
    I hear freighting scream, I laugh at it
