what on that of Mr. Stuart's, and at length OBJ
served, that the - 'Mixture'' 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 II would
not be proper tor him to make positive order on
the Medical Bureau, but that he would 60 as tar

folding up the papers he wrote on the back of
them, and signed the recommendations, copy of

the ordinary channels. Yours respectfully,
JOSEPH J. LEWIS.
