Dear ST-in an interview with President Lin
coin to day, L introduced the subject of your
HPaschalPs Fever and Ague Mixture, - informing
him of the manner in which / had become
quainted with it, 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 L suggested, that if, by his di-
rection, it could be put the supply lisr Of me-
dicines for the army, 1t might be found eItremel
useful in contributing to the health OF the troop
The names of Henry c. Carey, Jay Cook, Gov
Pollock, and Geo. H. Stuart, {e1tensively 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 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 slight grounds and, after pleasant
remark in his peculiar vein, added, that 1t would
not be proper tor him to make positive order on
the Medical Bureau, but that he would go as lar
as he thought it was proper for him to go. Then
folding up the papers, he wrote on the back OF
them and signed the reeomm ndation, a copy Of
which here ewith send you. The originsi will
keep, and present it TO the Surgeon Genera.
/ suggest that you dismiss your difhdencs, a.
to advertising your ssMiIture," and cease to hesl.
tate to make known its merits to the public thro
the ordinary channels. Yours respectfully,
JOSEPH ]. LEWIS.
Commendation of President Lincoln.
