medicine is to be taken once in every five
hours.
It will thus be seen that I provide means for

medicines to be taken, to indicate the particu-
lar number of the said medicine and the time
when said medicines are to be taken or ad-
ministered without danger or liability of comn

and the index-hands conveniently and easily
adjusted, and can be manufactured and sold
at a minimum of cost.

claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters
Patent, is-
1. As a new article of manufacture, a medi-
cine-case provided with a removable cover
zo having a dial, said dial being provided with
two concentric rows of figures, one row of fig
ures to indicate the number of medicine to be
taken, and the other the number of hours that
are to elapse before they are taken, and the two
independently-moving pointers pivoted on a 25
pin or shaft common to both, substantially as
described.
2. As a new article of manufacture, a medi-
cinecase comprising an open receptacle hav-
ing ledges b. adapted to receive and support 30
a spoon or other device, and a removable cover
having a depending flange and a dial, said dial
having two concentric rows of figures and a
pivoted indicator or hand for each row of fig-
ures, one of said hands pointing to one row of 35
figures to indicate the number of medicine to
be taken, and the other hand to the other row
to indicate the number of hours that are to
elapse between the interval of taking the
medicine, substantially as described. 40
