SIR, Hatton-Garden, Decern. 3, 1754. 
Read^Dec. 5. / | 'HE inclofed paper is a letter, 
I/54 ' which I received a few days ago, 
by the hands of William Fellowes, Efq; a very 
worthy member of the Royal Society ; the contents 
of which I am defirous fhould be communicated to 
that learned body, as they tend to give a farther 
confirmation of the good effects of the agaric of the 
oak, in flopping of bleedings after a divifion of fome 
of the mofi capital arteries. At the fame time, I 
have taken the liberty of adding, that I have con- 
tinued to make ufe of this application with the 
greateft fuccefs ; and for many reafons do continue 
to be of opinion, that it is one of the mofi valuable 
acquifitions, that has at any time been made in our 
profeffion. 
I am, Sir, 
Your mofi obedient fervant, 
Jofeph Warner.
