This body has not been definitely determined from a
chemical standpoint, although the formula of it is given
as CO(OCH4,OCH),.
Physical Properties.-Guaiacol carbo;nate occurs as an
odorless and tasteless neutral crystalline substance with a
melting-point of from 186.8 to 194 F: (86 to 900 C.).
Therapeutic Applications.-The carbonate of guaiacol
has mainly been employed as a succedaneum for guaia-
col and creosote in the treatment of pulmonary tuber-
