Dear Sir-ln an interview with President Lin
coin to day, l introduced the subject of your
'sPasc hal's Fever and Ague MiItsre % into rming
him of the manner in which had become
quainted with il, recounting the tests to whichti
hsd been subjected J, and pointing out the names
of those Who recommend ed It, 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 lsr of me
dlcines for the army, 1t might be found eItremel
useful in contributing to the he alth of the troop,
operating in miasmatIe districts.
The names of Henry c. Carey, Jay Cook, Gov
Pollock, and Geo. H. Stuart (eItensively known
| as President of the Christian Commission,) were
particularly indicated, and especial attention
called to the letter of she latter. Mr.. Lincoln
looked over tae several letters, dwelling some
what on that of MIR. Stuart's, and at length OBJ
served, that the f.MiIturs" 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 II would
not be proper Ter him to make positive order on
the Medical Bureau, but that he would go as Tar
| as he thought 1t was proper Tor him to go. Then
folding up the papers, he wrote on the back OF
| them and signed the recomm endation,a copy OF
| which herewith send you. The Originally will
| keep, and present il to the Surgeon General.
Ieuggest that you dismiss your dlffidencs, a.
to advertising your Mixture, " and cease to hesI.
tate to make known its erits the public thro
the ordinary channels. Yours respectfully,
JOSEPH J. LEws
Commendation of President Lincoln.
