Abstract: A hollow vertical cylinder has a closed vertical side wall and closed upper and lower ends. The cylinder has an upper region for receiving pills and a lower region from which pills are dispensed. A portion of the upper region is removable. The lower region has a first opening in its lower end which is adapted to pass a pill therethrough and has at least one second opening in its side wall. A thin horizontal partition disposed in the cylinder defines a bottom horizontal surface for the upper region and a top horizontal surface for the lower region and also separates each of the regions from the other. The partition has a third opening adapted to pass a pill therethrough, the third opening being out of alignment with the first opening. A structure disposed in the lower region adjacent the partition has a lever extending outwardly through a second opening in the side wall.
