Abstract
An infant's pacifier is constructed in a manner to confine and administer a beneficial liquid composition. The pacifier has a hollow nipple having at its open upper extremity an outwardly directed flange. The nipple is held within a cylindrical sleeve centered in a base panel. The flange rests in abutment with a flat terminal rim of the sleeve. The sleeve is threadably engaged by a cap having a closure panel adapted to compress the flange against the flat rim, thereby sealing the nipple in a fluid-impermeable manner. The closure panel has provision for admitting a controlled amount of air to the nipple.
