looked over tae several letters, dwelling some
what on that of MIR. Stuarts, and at length oo-
served, that the g MIXTURE" appeared to be hlghy
recommended, and by men who do mot 90 such
| things on slight grounds; and, after Pieasant
remark in his peculiar vein, added, that it would
not be proper for him to make positive order on
the Medical Bureau, bun that ne would 60 as lar
| as he thought it was proper Tor him TO 60. Then
folding up the papers, he wrote on the back Of
