We don't care what you stash away in these fine little vessels, there's just something proper and wonderful about having a need for such a thing. "Yes, I possess a pill box," you say. "So what of it?" Although there are plenty of modern, glitzy varieties of the pillbox on eBay (très Valley of the Dolls), we prefer the more demure ones that hearken back to a time when dependency on patent medicine (yummy, yummy laudanum) and later prescription drugs (yummy, yummy Valium) was simply a rite of passage.
