Dear Sir-Ins an interview with President Lin
coin to day, / introduced the subject of your
'FPaschall's Fever and Ague Mixture - informing
him OF the manner IN which had become &C
qRalnted with it, recounting the tests to which
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 d-
rection, 1t could be put the supply list of me
dlcines for the army, IT might be found eItremel
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. II. Stuart (eItepsively 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
served, that the s.MIture' appeared to be hig hly
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 GO as far
as he thought 1t was proper for him to go. Then
folding up the papers, he wrote the back Of
them, and signed the reeomme md alton, a copy of
which here with send you. The original will
keep. and present it to the Surgeon Genera.
suggest that you dismiss your dIfhdencs, AZ
to advertising your 'EMiIture,'' and cease to hese
tate to make known it's merits to the public thro
the ordinary channels. Yours respectfully,
JOSEPH J. LEWIS.
