OLLA PODRIDA.

This is a similar preparation to pot pourri.  No regular form can be given for it, as it is generally made, or “knocked up,” with the refuse and spent materials derived from other processes in the manufacture of perfumery; such as the spent vanilla after the manufacture of tincture or extract of vanilla, or of the grain musk from the extract of musk, orris from the tincture, tonquin beans, after tincturation, &c. &c., mixed up with rose-leaves, lavender, or any odoriferous herbs.
