Abstract
An infant's pacifier is constructed in a manner to confine and administer a beneficial liquid composition. The pacifier has a hollow nipple which threadably joins with a base that may serve as a funnel for expediting entrance of liquid into the nipple. The base is in turn threadably attached to a cap which has provision for admitting air to the nipple. A handle may be attached to the cap. The base, which is generally perpendicular to the nipple, may have indentations to accommodate an infant's nose.
