a packet of dispensing swabs contained within the container, each dispenser swab including an essentially rigid short tube with a lower opening and an upper opening and a quantity of cotton secured over the upper opening for the passage of liquid medication there through to the swab and then the malady to be treated;

a bottle with a closed bottom and an open top and a sidewall there between, the open top having female screw threads of a first diameter there around, the bottle also having a dispenser assembly with a lower end having male screw threads there around adapted to removably couple with respect to the female screw threads of the bottle for bottle refilling purposes, the dispenser assembly having an upwardly extending tubular member with an open aperture at the top for the passage of fluid from the bottle through the dispenser assembly, the tubular member adapted to removably receive the short tube of one of the dispensing swab during operation and use and a tubular sleeve with a closed top positionable over the tubular member during storage;

a cap in a generally cylindrical configuration adapted to be removably positioned over the dispenser assembly during storage and to be removed during operation and use;

a quantity of liquid iodine located within the bottle to be dispensed through the dispenser assembly and a respective dispensing swab during inversion;

a tube having a closed bottom and an open top with a squeezable sidewall therebetween, the open top having male screw threads there around with an associated cover with internal female screw threads adapted to be removably received over the male screw threads adjacent to the open top;
