^

Only

an

Italian,

we

are

told,

can

make

this

liqueur.

The

composition

is

a

dark

secret,

but,

we

are

also

told,

it

originated

in

Austria,

and

is

a

mixture

of

tea,

wine

and

milk

in

unknown

quantities.

^

Said,

on

account

of

its

carminative

properties,

to

be

derived

from

the three

words

vesse,

pet,

and

rot,

which

it

is

not

incumbent

upon

us

to

translate.
