A substance discovered not long ago by Reichenbach. It is obtained from tar, by distillatin, and appears to be the active antiseptic and medicial agent in tar-water and crude pyroligneous acid. It is a colourless transparent fluid, of a penetrating and disagreeable odour, and is freely soluble in alcohol and acetic acid. Its taste is bitter. S. g. 1-037. It coagulates albumen, whence its haemostatic power. It is a most powerful antiseptic; and has been largely administered in hemorrhages both internally and externally. As an external application, it has been used in burns, ulcers, especially those of a slonghing character, chronic cutaneous affections, and has been applied to tapeworm protruded, &c. Internally, it has been administered in phthisis, vomiting, diabetes mellitus, nervous diseases, chronio glanders, &c. The dose internally is one or two drops. Externally, it is sometimes applied pure; at others, diluted, and commonly with water, or in the form of ointment.
