Dear Sir-In interview with President Lin
coin to day, i introduced the subject of'yeur
ssPasc hall's Fever and Ague Mixture - informing
him Of the manner in which had become ac-
quainted with il, recounting the tests 10 which i
had been subjected, and pointing out the names
of those who recomm ended 1t, several OF them,
men of the highest character, and of national
reputation and, suggested, that If, by his dl-
rection, it could be put on the supply list OF me
dicines for the army, it mig ht be found extremel
useful in contributing to the he alth of the troop
operating in miasmatic districts. F.fsE
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 the several letters, dwelling some
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 It would
not be proper for him to make positive order on
the Medical Bureau, but that he would go as far
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 endatioD, copy of
whic b herewith send you. The origins VIII
keep, and present it to the Surgeon GeneraI.
L suggest that you dismiss your difhdence, a.
to advertising your ssMiIture'' and cease to hesi-
tate to make known its merits to the public thro
the ordinary channels. Yours respectfully,
JOSEPH j. LEWIS.
