Medicine containers 4 received in a vertical row in a cassette 1 are successively fed from below. A holding means 6 for holding at leas the medicine container 4 positioned in the bottom of the cassette 1 is provided. A transfer means 20 disposed below the cassette 1 and adapted to be vertically movable to downwardly transfer the bottom medicine container 4 held by the holding means 6 is provided. A driving means 20 for upwardly moving the transfer means 20, lifting the bottom medicine container 4 held by the holding means 6, canceling a held state established by the holding means 6, holding a second medicine container 4 from the bottom while downwardly moving the transfer means 20 by a predetermined distance and stopping the same, and downwardly moving the transfer means 20 after the holding means 6 has held the second medicine container 4 from the bottom. This reliably prevents the medicine containers 4 from being damaged ruing feeding or an error in the feeding number being creeping in.
