coin to day, | introduced the subject of your
"Paschall's Fever and Ague Mixture, :" into orming

quainted with il, recounting the tests which 1T
had been subjected, and pointing out the names
of those who recommends ed 1t, 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

The names of Henry C. Carey, Jay Cook, Gov.

as President of the Christian Commssion,) were
particularly indicated. and especial attention
called TO the letter of the latter. Mr.. Lincoln
looked over tne everal letters, dwelling some
what on that of Mr.. Stuart's, and at length OBJ
served, that the sMixture' appeared to be hlg hly
recommended, and by men who d o not DO such
things on slight grounds and, after pleasant
remark in his peculiar vein, added, that II would
not be proper for him to make positive order or
the Medical Bureau, but that ne would 60 tar
as he thought it was proper for him to go. Then
folding up the papers, he wrote on the back of
them, and signed the recOmm nd alton, copy of

tate to make known it's merits to the public thro'
the ordinary channels. Yours respectfully,
JOSEPH ]. LEWIS.
