Dear Sir-ln an interview with President Lin
coin to day, / introduced the subject of your
"Pasc hail's Fever and Ague Mixture, - informing
him OF the manner in which | had become ac-
quainted with it, recounting the tests to which il
had been subjected, and pointing out the names
of those who recommend ed 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 list of me-
dicines for the army, It might be found extremely
useful in contributing 10 the eath of the troops
operating in miasmatIc districts.
The names of Henry c. Carey, Jay Cook, Gov.
Pollock, and Geo. II 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 tne several letters, dwelling some
what on that of Mr. Stuart's, and at length OBJ
served that the '.Mlxture'' 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 OF
the Medical Bureau, but that he would go tar
as he thought 1t was proper for him to go. Then
folding up the papers, he wrote the back of
them, and signed the recomm end alton, copy OF
which herewith send you. The original will
keep, and present II to the Surgeon Gene al.
| suggest that you dismiss your dIffidence, as
to advertising your "MIxture,' - and cease to hes-
tate to make known it's merits TO the public thro'
the ordinary channels. Yours respectfully,
JOSEPH J. LEWIS.
COmmendatiOn of President Lincoln.
