Dear Sfr-In an interview with President Lin
coin to day. L introduced the subject of your
'sPaschalls Fever and Ague Mixture, % informing
him OF the manner IN which had become &C :
quainted with il, recounting the tests to 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, 1 suggested, that if, by his di-
rection, it could be put on the supply list of me-
dicines for the army, 1t 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, (eKtensivelJ known
as President of the Christian Commission,) 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 Mir. Stuart's, and at length obs
served, that the s.MiIture' appeared to be highly
recommended, and by men who do not DO such
things on slight groundsj and, after pleasant
remark in his peculiar vein. added, that IT would
not be proper tor him TO make pGsitise order on
the Medical Bureau, but that he would 60 as far
as he thought 1t was proper Tor him to go. Then
folding up the papers, he wrote on the back OF
them and signed the reeomm md alton, copy Of
which herew send you. The original viii
keep, and present it to the Surgeon General.
l suggest that you dismiss your difhdence, a.
to advertising your Mixture and cease to hesi-
tate to make known its merits to the public thro
the ordinary channels. Yours respectfully,
JOSEPH ]. LEWIS.
ComnendatiOn of President Lincoln.
