Coal tar
(gcide) | Coal tar \Coal" tar`\
A thick, black, tarry liquid, obtained by the distillation of
bituminous coal in the manufacture of illuminating gas; used

Note: Among its important ingredients are benzene, aniline,
phenol, naphtalene, anthracene, etc., which are
respectively typical of many dye stuffs, as the aniline
