Dear Sr-In an interview with President Lin
coin to day, I introduced the subject Of your
"Pasc halls Fever and Ague Mixture, - informing
him OF the manner in which had become &c.
qnaiRted with il, recounting the tests to which
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, suggested, that if, by his di-
rection, II could be put on the supply list OF me-
dicines for the army, 1t might be found extremely
useful in contributing 10 the health of the troops
operating in miasmatie districts.
The names of Henry c. Carey, Jay Cook, Gov.
Pollock, and Geo. ii. Stuart Extensively known
as President of the Christian Commission,1 y were
particularly indicated, and especial attention
called to the letter of the latter. Mr.. Lincoln
looked over the several letters, dwelling some
what on that of Mr.. Stuart's, and at length OBJ
served, that the f'MiIture" appeared to be highly
recommended, and by men who do not do snch
things ON slight grounds; and, after pleasant
remark in his peculiar vein, added, that 1t would
not be proper for him to make positive order on
the Medical Bureau, but that he would 60 as tar
as he thought 1t was proper for him to 60. Then
folding up the papers, he wrote on the back OF
them, and signed the recomme ndation, copy Of
which here with send you. The original will
keep, and present it to the Surgeon General.
suggest that you dismiss your difhdence, a.
to advertising your ttMixture" and cease to hesi.
tate to make known its merits to the public thro
the ordinary channels Yours respectfully,
