A dispenser comprising a housing having at least one chamber arranged to receive and store articles in pill, pellet, tablet or capsule form in bulk quantities. Embodied in connection with the housing is a feed device, a magazine and a dispensing device. The feed device directs articles from the chamber to load the magazine. The dispensing device is constructed and arranged to normally prevent exit of articles from the magazine and in the operation thereof to provide for passage of a predetermined quantity of articles from the magazine and from the housing. The feed device is operatively connected to the dispensing device to move in conjunction therewith and serve its function in a timed relation to the function of the dispensing device. In the operation thereof the dispensing device functions to agitate the feed device in a manner to insure that the magazine is maintained in a fully loaded condition as long as sufficient articles remain in said chamber.
