First Claim
1. A receptacle for containing and dispensing solid medicinal pills, directly into the mouth of the user, comprising a container with a storage chamber leading to an outlet sized to be comfortably inserted between the lips of a user, said outlet being further provided with a displaceable sealing closure having a normally closed position, wherein actuation by the mouth of the user interacting with said outlet causes displacement of said displaceable sealing closure from said closed position, to enable the dispensing of at least one pill from said chamber, wherein displacement of said closure from said closed position, to enable the dispensing of at least one pill from said chamber, is actuated by suction applied to said spout and said closure by the mouth of the user or is actuated by exhalation applied to said outlet and said closure by the mouth of the user.
