"PaschalIs Fever and Ague Mixture, - informing
him of the manner in which had become
quainted with it, recountng the tests which i
had been subjected. and pointing out the names
of those who recommended IT, several OF them,
men of the highest character, and of national
reputation and, / suggested, that if, by his di-
recton, it could be put on the supply lisr of me-
dicines for the army, 1t might be found eKtremel
useful IN contributing to the health OF the troop
operating IN nIasmatIc districts.
The names of Henry c. Carey, Jay Cook, Gov
Pollock, and Geo. II. Stuart, Extensively known
as President of the Christian Commission,) were
particularly indicated, and especial attention
called to the letter of the latter. Mr.. Lincoln
looked over tne several letters, dwelling some
what that of MIR. Stuart's, and at length OBJ
served, that the f'MiIture" appeared to be highly
recommended, and by men who do not do such
things on slight grounds and, alter pleasant
remark in his peculiar vein, added, that It would
not be proper for him to make positive order on
the Medical Bureau, but that he would 60 as lar
as he thought 1t was proper tor him to 60. Then
folding up the papers, he wrote on the back OF
them, and signed the recommendation copy of
which here with send you. The originas viii
keep, and present it to the Surgeon Genera.

to advertising your 'Mixture,n and cease to hesl.

the ordinary channels. Yours respectfully,
JOSEPH ]. LEWIS.
