A substance obtained by the distillation of wood tar, consisting chiefly of a mixture of cresol, oxycresol, methylcresol, and phlorone. It is a highly refractive, oily liquid, having, when freshly prepared, a yellowish tinge which changes to red or brown on exposure to the light. It has a peculiar, sharp, empyreumatic odor and a burning taste, and produces a white stain on coming into contact with the skin. It has marked antiseptic properties. Used in carious teeth and in a variety of conditions.
