Dear Sir-In an interview with President Lin
coin to day, l introduced the subject of your
'sPaschal Fever and Ague Mixture, ;, informing
him of the manner in which had become
quainted with it, recountng the tests to which
had been subjected, and pointing out the names
of those who recommended II, several OF them,
men of the highest character, and of national
reputation and, suggested, that II, by his di-
TectIon, II could be put ON the supply list OF me-
dicines for the army, it might be found eItremei
useful IN contributing to the health OF the troop
operating in RIasmatIc districts
The names of Henry c. Carey, Jay Cook, Gov
Pollock, and Geo. H. 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 the several letters, dwelling some
what on that of MIR. 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 1T would
not be proper for him to make positive order on
the Medical Bureau, but that he would GO far
as he thought 1t was proper for him to 60. Then
folding up the papers, he wrote on the back OF
them, and signed the recommendation, copy of
which herewith send you. The orIginst Will
keep, and present IT to the Surgeon Genera.
l suggest that you dismiss your dlthdencs, az
to advertising your EsMxture,'' and cease to hesI.
tate to make known its merits to the public thro
the ordinary channels. Yours respectfully,
JOSEPH J. LEWIS.
