It's a KR-9. Fairly common in the smaller sizes. What size is it? As for it's contents, without the label, we can only speculate. Most common poison found in the day was Mercury Chloride (bi-chloride and I think I even seen a di-chloride...maybe) One of the antiseptics of the time.

Mercury chloride was also commonly prescribed for the treatment of STDs, particularly syphilis.
