Medicine or pharmacy most likely. Such bottles were mass-produced for use by a manufacturer - no way of knowing for sure what this was used for unless you have a labeled example.

The "B" in circle could very well be the mark of Brockway Glass Co. of Brockway, PA.

It dates from the mid 20th century.
