Dear Sir-In an interview with President Lin
coin TO day, | Introduced the subject of your
ssPaschall's Fever and Ague Mixture, - informing
him of the manner in which had become ac-
quainted with il, recountng the tests 10 which
had been subjected, and pointing out the names
of those who recommended 1t, several OF them,
men of the highest character, and Of national
reputation; and, suggested, that If, by his di-
rection, II could be put on the supply list OF me
dicines for the army, IL mig be found eItremel
useful in contributing to the health OF the troop
operating in miasmatIc districts.
The names of Henry c. Carey, Jay Cook, Gov
Pollock, and Geo. III. Stuart, (eItensively known
as President of the Christian Commis.ion,) were
particularly indicated, and especial attention
called to the letter of the latter. Mr.. Lincoln
looked over the several letters, dwelling some
what on that of Mr. Stuart's, and at length OBJ
served that the s.MiIture' appeared to be highly
recommended, and by men who do not DO such
| things on slight grounds; and, after pleasant
remark in his peculiar vein, added, that IL would
not be proper for him TO make positive order on
he BuFeau.
az he thought it proper for him to go. Then
folding up the papers, he wrote on the back OF
tnam, and signed the recomm endation, copy of
which herewith send you. The orlglns' VIII
keep, and present it to the Surgeon Genera.
suggest that you dismiss your diffidence, az
to advertising your sMiIture,' and cease to hesis
tate to make known it's merits to the public thro
the ordinary channels. Yours respectfully,
JOSEPH J. LEWIS.
