The first was written in 1575, at Vienna, and has the title " Epistola de extractis chymice pra?paratis." It is published in the " Volumen Epistolarum Philosophicarum, Medicinalium," &c. of Laurentius Scholzius, Frankfort, 1598, folio. The other letter is " Epistola de natura et viribus Hydrargyri." It was written to Paulus Jovius, a Florentine physician (not the better known bishop of Nocera of the same name), and was first published by Theo- dore Zuinger, the great-grandson of him with whom Arragosius lived, in his " Fasciculus Dissertatiouum Medicariun Selectiorum," Basle, 1710, 8vo., as an appendix to a disser- tation by Caspar Olrius on the same subject. In this letter Arragosius tells some marvel- lous stories of his having found pure mer- cury just under the surface of the earth at Montpellier, and of collecting it as it dropped from hay by moonlight in the spring. He urges the necessity* of extreme caution in the use of mercury, and maintained that none but experienced physicians should dare to give it. He no doubt greatly exaggerated its dangers when he described the mercurial ointment as always injurious to the health, and often fatal ; yet it is probable that in his time there were abundant instances to prove the evil consequences of its employment. He admitted that by peculiar modes of prepa- ration mercury might be made a valuable remedy, but he gave no clear indication of what these modes are.
