BENZO-PHENONEID.
This new compound is obtained from an anilin dye,
and chemically is the tetramethylo-diapsido-benzo-phe-
noneid.
Therapeutic Applications.-This drug has been effi-
caciously employed as a microbicide. It has given
excellent results in the treatment of obstinate ulcers,
and particularly in the treatment of purulent keratitis
and chronic phlyctenular ophthalmia. The remedy is
locally applied.
BENZOYL-EUGENOL.
This body, which occurs in acicular, colorless, and
odorless crystals, is a derivative of cugenol. It has a
melting-point of 158.9 F. (70.5 C.), and is represented
by the formula C6H.C3H,(OCH3)CO,C,H,.
Solubility.-This drug is soluble in alcohol, ether,
chloroform, and acetone; it is insoluble in water.
Therapeutic Applications.-cBenzoyl-eugenol is at
present being tried in the treatment of tuberculous dis-
eases. The proper dose has not been accurately deter-
mined.
BENZOYL-GUAIACOL.
The common name of benzosol is given to the sub-

1 There has appeared upon the market recently an analogous body under
the name of benzo-paracresol. It is obtained by the action of sodium ben-
zoate upon paracresol in the presence of oxychloride of phosphorus, the
product being made to crystallize from alcoholic solution. Benzo-paracresol
appears then as a crystalline body having a marked ethereal odor and a
melting-point of I580 to I59 F. (700 to 71 C.). The drug is readily
soluble in ether, but is insoluble in water and chloroform; it is soluble in
alcohol in from 4 to 20 per cent.
