Green Nerve Pill
UpdatedWhen I was a child in the 1950s, my grandmother would ask me to bring her "nerve pills" to her. They were a bright green capsule. What was the name of this medicine?

I'm sorry, but that really isn't enough to go on to even make a guess.
There were as many green pills on the market back then as there are today. Some medications have been removed from the market, some haven't.
What they were used/approved to treat may have also changed, things have switched from being over the counter to prescription and vice-versa.
Does anyone else have any ideas?
My mom was on nerve pills in the late 1950s and we were trying to think of the name earlier this evening. We finally happened on Librium and when I asked her, she said yes, that was it. Looking it up, two of the dosages come in green capsules. Possibly that was it?
My father sailed in WW2 and mentioned "Green Medicine" in his journals, and around 1950 so did my grandmother. But this green medicine was a green liquid in a square quart bottle. Laudanum?
No, Wiki says that's reddish-brown.
Anybody know?

Nerve Tonic. I think the bear steals it. Or is that the Pancakes?
My mother took a green liquid nerve medication. I am not sure of the spelling but I think she called it bu-ta-sil (pronunciation). She used to get motion sickness but this medication cured her.
