Dear Sir-In an interview with President Lin
coin TO day, introduced the subject of your
"PaschaiFs Fever and Ague Mixture, - informing
him of the manner in which had become =
quainted with il, recounting the tests TO which
had been subjected, and pointing out the names
of those who recommended IT, several OF them,
men OF the highest character, and of national
reputation and, suggested, that If, by his di-
recton, 1t could be put on the supply list OF me-
dicines for the army, II might be found extremely
ueeful in contributing to the he ath of the troops
operating IN misematlc districts.
The names of Henry c. Carey, Jay Cook, Gov
Pollock, and Geo. II. 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 toe seve raj letters, dwelling some
what that of Mr. Stuart's, and at length OBJ
served that the s'MiIture" appeared TO be ing 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 Ear
as he thought 1t was proper fCr him to go. Then
folding up the papers he wrote the back OF
them and signed the recomm ends alton, a copy of
which here with send you. Tho original viii
keep, and present it to the Surgeon General
suggest that you dismiss your diffdence, 60
to advertising your ssMxture,o and cease to hesis
tate to make known its merits to the pubiie thro
the ordinary channels. Yours respectfully,
JOSEPH J. LEWIS.
Commendation of President Lincoln.
ssSubnsitted to the Surgeon General, asking has
attention, and that the Medicine may be tried, If
