Sounds like a silver compound to me, and if it is from a 50 year old book, then it is almost certainly a silver compound. Most likely silver nitrate.
It has some antibacterial effects, use to be used in newborn's eyes at birth to prevent blindness from STD infection. It is not nearly as effective as CS, and can cause argyria. If spilt on the hands and later exposed to light, can turn them black, forever.
