Need Help Identifying Pills From 1955

Same size and shape of a skittle candy piece. Red. Found the bottle the date on it is december 2 1955. On the bottle it said take every four hours that you are awake. And it says its a prescription.

Interesting find, but I am afraid that narrowing down exactly what this is may be difficult.

Are there any logos or anything on the tablets?

I know things weren't regulated quite as strictly back then, but some companies still used certain logos and markings to denote their products and there were laws already in place, under the fairly new FDA.

Under those laws, the label should state what it is to be taken for, such as for pain, nausea or etc.

Does anyone have an idea of what this might be?
