Homeopathic remedy. This is an extremely light volatile liquid, which first passes over when petroleum is distilled. It has a specific gravity of about .650, and a rather pleasant etherial odour. It has been proposed as a substitute for chloroform, as it is found to possess anaesthetic properties. The article known as kerosolene was first obtained as a product in the manufacture of kerosene oil by the distillation of coal. (From: Petroleum and Its Products. A. Norman Tate. 1863. p.81.
