   Creosote \Cre"o*sote\ (kr?"?-s?t), n. [Gr. [?][?][?], gen.

      Wood-tar oil; an oily antiseptic liquid, of a burning smoky

      brown by impurity or exposure. It is a complex mixture of
      various phenols and their ethers, and is obtained by the
      distillation of wood tar, especially that of beechwood.
  
      Note: It is remarkable as an antiseptic and deodorizer in the

               prevention of putrefaction; but it is a poor germicide,
               and in this respect has been overrated. Smoked meat, as
               ham, owes its preservation and taste to a small
               quantity of creosote absorbed from the smoke to which
               it is exposed. Carbolic acid is phenol proper, while
