Dear Sir-In an interview with President Lin
coin to .day, / introduced the subiect of your
ssPasch chall'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 recommended 1t, several of them,
men of the highest character, and of national
reputation and, L suggested, that if, by his di-
rection, it could be put the supply list of me-
dicines for the army, it might be found extremely
useful in contributing to the health of the troops
operating in miasmatic districts.
The names of Henry c. Carey jaw Cook Gov
Pollock, and Geo. H. 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 MIR. Stuart's, and at length OBJ
served, that the "Mi1ture" appeared to be highly
recommended, and by men who do not DO such
things on slight groundsj and, after pleasant
remark in his peculiar vein, added that it would
not be proper for him to make a positive order on
the Medical Bureau, but that he would 60 a far
as he thought 1t was proper for him to go. Then
folding up the papers, he wrote on the back OF
them and signed the recommendation, a copy Of
which herewith send you. The original will
keep, and present it to the Surgeon General.
1 suggest that you dismiss your dIfidence, a.
to dvertsing your Mixture % and to hssi.
tate to make known its m erits to the public thro
the ordinary channels. Yours respectfully,
.s-a---t-s-' = -sEI14 JOSEPH J. LEWIS.
Commendation of President Lincoln.

attention. and that the Medicine may be tried, if
in his judgment it promises good.
