Dear Sir-In an interview with President Lin
eoln to day, / introduced the subject of your
"PaschalFs Fever and Ague Mixture ,, informing
him of the manner in which had become &C
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 nf national
reputation aud, suggested, that If, by his di-
recton, 1t could be put on the supply list of me-
dicines for the army, it might be found extremely
useful in contributing the he alth of the troops
operating in miasmatic districts.
The names of Henry c. Carey, Jay Cook, Gov.
Pollock, and Geo. II. Stuart, 1eItensively known
as President of the Christian Commission,) were
particularly indicated, and especial attention
called to the letter of the latter. Mn Lincoln
looked over the several letters, dwelling some
what on that of MIR. Stuart's, and at length OBJ
served, that the ''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 tor 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
folding up the papers, he wrote on the back OF
them, and signed the recommendation, a copy Of
which here with send you. The original will
keep, and present IT to the Surgeon General.
suggest that you dismiss your difhdencs, a.
to adve rtisng your MiIture'' % and cease to hssis
tate to make known its merits to the public thro
the ordinary channels. Yours respectfully,
r- JOSEPH J. LEWIS.
Commendation of President Lincoln.
