Dear Sfr-In interview with President Lin
coin to day, / introduced the subject of your
"Paschall's Fever and Ague Mixture, - informing
him OF the manner in which had become ac-
quainted with it, recoanting the tests to which il
had been subjected, and pointing cut 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, 1t could be put on the supply list of me
dicines for the army, it might be found extremely
useful in contributing to the health of the troops
operating in miasmatic districts.
The names of Henry c. Carey, Jay Cook, Gov.
Pollock, and Geo. H. Stuart, teItensively known
as President of the Christian Commission,) were
particularly indicated. and especial attention
called TO the letter of the latter. Nr. Lincoln
looked over the several letters, dwelling some
what that of Mr.. Stuart's, and at length OBJ
served, that the '.Mirture' 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 1t would
not be proper for him to make q positive order on
the Medical Bureau, but that he would 60 as tar
as he thought il was proper for him to go, Then
folding up the papers, he wrote on the back OF
them, and signed the reeomm endatIon,a copy OF
which herewith send YOU. The original Will
keep, and present it TO the Surgeon General.
| suggest that you dismiss your diffidence, a.
to advertising your " "Aixture'' and cease to hesi.
tate tc make known it's merits to the public thro
the ordinary channels. Yours respectfully,
