storing medicaments in bulk and individually dispensing solid medicaments such as medicine in tablet or pill form including a rotatable carousel having a plurality of circumferentially spaced apart upwardly opening storage compartments each receiving a plurality of identical medicaments in bulk different than the medicaments in each other compartment disposed on the carousel between each alternate pair of compartments is a vertical discharge chute which is rotated into alignment with a dispensing station after one of the medicaments is removed from one of the compartments a vacuum operated probe is pivotally mounted on the frame opposite the dispensing station for swinging movement between a lower position in which a terminal end of the probe is inside the compartments in engagement with a medicament therein and a raised position above the carousel allowing the carousel to rotate to a position in which the adjacent discharge chute is aligned with the terminal probe end a control system selectively couples a vacuum source to the vacuum operated probe when the probe is in any selected compartment causing the terminal end to sealingly engage in airtight relation to a single medicament whereby the single medicament is carried by the terminal end to a position above the discharge chute where it is released for passage through the discharge.
