An automatic dialing device for placing an order for a prescription medication with an outside source that supplies the prescription medication wherein an order number for the order of the prescription medication is assigned by the outside source wherein the order number is indicative of the prescription medication wherein a telephone number is assigned to the outside source for receiving a communication via a telephone receiver wherein the outside source receives the order for the prescription medication from the communication via the telephone receiver, the automatic dialing device comprising:

  • a container having a base and walls defining an interior wherein the walls of the container have a first end and a second end wherein the second end is located opposite to the first end and further wherein the second end of the walls is connected to the base of the container wherein the container has a length defined between the base and the first end of the walls of the container wherein the walls of the container have a first perimeter which is circular;

    a housing having walls defining an interior wherein the housing has a length defined between a top side and a bottom side wherein the walls of the housing have a second perimeter which is circular wherein the bottom side of the housing receives the first end of the walls of the container wherein the housing encloses the interior of the container when the bottom side of the housing is attached to the first end of the walls of the container;

    first indicia on the housing wherein the first indicia identifies the prescription medication and the outside source;
