Abstract

The therapeutic properties of eugenol, thymol and guaiacol are fairly well known. Employing alcoholic solutions of these three phenols, Courmont, Morel and Bay2 have shown that eugenol has the strongest sterilizing properties of the three compounds, the tests being conducted on homogeneous cultures of tuberculosis bacilli.
