after his death. 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. (Astruc, De Morbis

culus Dissertatiouum.') J. P." (aus: The Biographical dictionary of the Society for the Diffusion of Useful Knowledge-- (Volume 3, pt. 2)
