Anyone here read Chinese? Picked up these as part of a group of oriental medicine bottles at an auction, but have NO idea what they are for. I opened a couple and they contain little vials with minute red pills about the size of poppy seeds. Any help to offer will be most appreciated.

PS - I'm pretty sure none contain opium. Dagnabbit.

Help us close this case. Add your knowledge below.

These are absolutely fabulous and you should have someone translate them fully.
