If coffee gives you indigestion, switch to a post-dom. The makers of post-dom. The favorite mealtime drink in millions of American homes present those two love-of-the-lole characters from the hill country, larm and abner.

Do you think it's asking you too much to expect people to be bright and gay and cheerful when they're suffering from indigestion? Well, if you have indigestion yourself, you probably do think it too much.

You might even say you can't blame anyone whose indigestion is upset for being grouchy and ill-tempered. Yet I'll wager if you knew that such a small thing as giving up coffee might improve your digestion, you would be the first one to do it.
