Dear Str-ln an interview with President Lin
coin to day, l introduced the subject of your
"Pasch chall's Fever and Ague Mixture, - informing
him of the manner in which had become ac-
quainted 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 hls di-
recton, 1t could be put on the supply list of me-
dicines for the army, it mieh be found eItremel
useful IN contributing to the health OF the troop
operating In nIasmatc districts.
The names of Henry C. Carey, Jay Cook, Gov
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
what that of Mr.. Stuart's, and at length OBJ
served that the s.Mixture'' appeared to be hg 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 60 as far
| 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 ommen6stIon, copy OF
whIch l herewith send you. The orlglnat Will
| keep, and present 1t to the Surgeon Genera.
| suggest that you dismiss your dIthdenes, as
to advertising your s'Mxture,'' and cease to hesis
tate to make known it's merits to the public thro
the ordinary channels. Yours respectfully,
| JosEPH J. LEWIS.
Commendation of President Lincoln.
