BY

United States Patent Office Patented July 30, 1963 the days from August 14 through August 29. Then the patient will tear off a section each day, exposing the number of the day underneath, clearly showing how many days remain in the prescription period, and the next time for taking the required dose. ..,

If the medicine to be taken is not necessarily a doctor s prescription, the capsules, pills, and the like can be put up in strips, purchased by the user, and applied by him to the c alend ar·

It will be apparent, of course, that the calendar may be modified to include more than one area for each day, so as to provide for the taking of two, three, four, or more per day, with each dose in its individual compartment.

It will also be apparent that the compartments may be numbered also, either to correspond with those of the spaces, or simply serially numbered for the period during which the doses are to be taken.

From the foregoing it will be seen that this invention provides a simple dispensing device for reminding a per20 son, and accurately recording the consumption of medicines that must be taken at definite periods. It can easily be varied to suit the individual’s needs, either by the druggist, or by the user himself.
