I don't know of a pill box that exactly reproduces the one you
escribed. However, I have one that I purchased at a Walgreen Drug store in
Nashvile that might be useful. It has no name (except:"made in China"), has
two compartments in which the pills are segregated, an electronic clock and
two timers that can be set independently for 1 min to 24 hours. I have used
it for about three years and still works fine, despite being dropped
frequently. I gave up using it a few weeks ago, because I could not hear the
alarm with the box in my pant pocket. That should be corrected soon with a
hearing aid.
The store is at 2101 Green Hills Village, Nashville, TN 37215(?)
phone: 615-293-6623. it cost about $10. If you'd like to try one I could
send you mine, until my ears get fixed.
