of those who recommended 1t, several OF them,
men Of the highest character, and of national
reputation and, suggested, that If, by his di-
rection, it could be put on the supply lisr of me
dicines for the army, it might be found extremely
useful in contributing to the health of the troops
operating in miasmatie districts.

as President of the Christian Commission y were
paruc ularly indicated. and especial attention

what that of Mr.. Stuart's, and at length OBJ
served, that the f'Mizture" appeared to be highly
recommended, and by men who do not DO such
| things on slight grounds; and, after pleasant
remarki his pecniiar vein, added, that it would
not be proper for him to make positive order on
| the Medical Bureau, but that he would 60 as tar
as he thought it was proper for him to go. Then
