6/16/35 Mr. F. F. Bradley's letter to Edgar Cayce in reply
to GD's letter:
Route 1, Box 568, AA,
Atlanta, Ga.
Dear Mr. Cayce,-
Various communications have come in from you and your office
but I have been travelling on business almost constantly and
all my correspondence has suffered.
About the ash. Am enclosing copy that might be used in
advertising or describing same. I am somewhat helpless in
doing a job that is worth while in this as the results
obtained are not on file here and probably on the occasion of
my next visit to Va. Beach we can get together to do a better
job.
Bernard, my son, is here for the summer and the equipment for
making the ash is here now. We would be glad to have the
sales handled by the New York office you suggest. We will
for the first time get the packaging in shape and send you
sample packages of the 1/4 and eighth grain capsules. The
making of this ash is to quite a degree a labor of love. The
production is tedious and very slow and put into the hands of
an employee would I feel confident not possess the properties
desired. It is essential that the strands of fibre actually
pass between the arc poles and we have a feeling that only at
exact spacing of the poles is the proper result secured. It
is hand work of the sort that cannot be reduced to machine
work unless the output was such as to warrant an out of
proportion expense for equipment. However please know that
we will at all times handle the matter as you would desire.
Bernard and I have just completed a batch both of us working
steadily and in much discomfort as to temperature and eye
strain and carbon dust and a total of 4 hours labor has
produced a cupful of ash.
I have designed a semi-automatic equipment that would cost
about $1,000 that would do the work reasonably well, how well
only a reading could determine, after the expense has been
made. But that I think cannot be undertaken at present.
Whatever the New York Concern would pay us for ash in bulk or
in capsules would not compensate us for the cost of the ash
in time and upkeep of equipment and personal strain. The
cupful just made used as nearly as we can figure $2.00 worth
of electricity and supplies.
I regret that my financial condition is such that I cannot
help support at this time the Association. It is not from
lack of desire to do so. I undertook my present position 'on
suspicion' as Elbert Hubbard would say. If I can carry on
without reaching the breaking point, which frankly is at all
times yet never far away, I will in time reach a fair
financial position. I took the gamble rather than to be
employed at a low but fairly sure wage with little hope of
more. Not as young as once tho I will not ask yet that Hugh
Lynn give me a tennis handicap. My point is that I am
reaching at all for the help my friends offer in the way of
advice and ways and means. I wish the annual meeting could
be a month later, I could probably attend.
I am wishing for you - all of you - a most successful meeting
and a new year loaded with the broadcasting and acceptance of
the fine things in your program.
Best regards to all of you,
Yours very truly, [signed] Franklin Bradley
CARBON ASH. ACTIVATED ASH.
Dr. Guy Beckley Stearns, celebrated physician of New York
City, says that health can be maintained only by keeping a
harmony between the various components and functionings of
the body. He says farther that certain activated materials
when taken internally even in minute doses tend to create and
maintain that harmony.
The German doctors of the new school are believers in that
program to such an extent that many of them claim that
chemically active medicines cannot be helpful except in rare
instances; at least to anything like the degree of
helpfulness that 'activated-in-vibration' substances, that
have no chemical activity, offer.
Carbon Ash or Activated Ash as made for the Association for
Research and Enlightenment, and made as a result of Readings
by Edgar Cayce, and made by methods described in those
readings, has no chemical activity. But it is an activated
carbon ash prepared at a temperature above the melting point
of glass. It is pure bamboo fibre not only coked and
purified by extreme temperature but through which at that
temperature a high tension electric current has been passed.
The results secured by the use of this ash, in manner
prescribed by readings in individual cases, are startling
even to the medical profession. Some of them are as follows:
7/18/35 HLC's letter to Mr. F. F. Bradley:
Mr. Franklin Bradley
Route 1, Box 568, AA
Atlanta, Georgia
Dear Mr. Bradley:
After looking at the above address for a few minutes I am
convinced that you must be a good democrat. The A.A. looks
familiar.
After going through dozens and dozens of our departments your
letter of June 16, has finally reached my desk. Thank you
for the data to use in connection with the ash. I am
preparing a short article on some of the cases where it has
been used and will send you a copy for your suggestions and
mark of approval before mimeographing for distribution to
those interested in securing the product or in our general
research work in the field of specifics.
I am distributing two specifics given in the readings through
the Health Home Remedies Co., Box 103, Virginia Beach.
(Inclosed pamphlet will describe.) In order to centralize
the distribution of the ash I will be glad to handle it under
this company's name. You can furnish it to me in bulk
(cupful by cupful) or in capsules. I will handle the mailing
of it and may place a small amount with representatives in
New York, Washington, and Detroit in order to have no delay
in delivery since many of the cases for which it is
recommended are serious. This can easily be handled on a
commission basis to cover the postage, etc., or if you prefer
bought from you and resold. I realize of course that you
cannot place any price on this and at the present time the
small output means little. The amount being used varies
according to the number of readings suggesting it.
Nevertheless, large or small do you not think it best to
handle as a small business?
With your permission I will send a small quantity of it to
three or four doctors and ask them to use it on certain types
of cases. We can then get a report from them and perhaps
work toward something of value for general distribution.
I was interested to hear Dr. Frank Dobbins of New York who
spoke at our Congress refer in his talk to a case on which
he used the ash for external application in combination with
Iodex. This combination has proven most helpful in a number
of cases. Would you like to take this matter up with the
Iodex people or may I do so? Proper proportions used with
Iodex in a number of clinical cases might prove very helpful
and result in the Iodex company taking an interest in the
ash.
Dr. [
438] of whom Dad wrote you in regard to handling the ash
in New York has recently had an automobile accident and has
been in the hospital for several weeks. I will gladly place
some of the ash with him in order to facilitate delivery in
New York.
Is your son Bernard interested in mechanics. We have had
difficulty in locating some one to handled the preparation of
the mechanical appliances suggested in the readings (Radio
Active and Wet Cell Appliances). This is only part time work
but brings in a small income. I will be glad to take this up
with him if he is interested.
We had a most successful Congress and are looking forward to
a year of steady growth. I want to write you more details
of some of the plans at a later date.
In line with our archaeological interests Mrs. [
587], a
member of the Association, recently discovered a well on a
small island [Bimini] off the Florida coast as directed
through a reading. Some connection with a past incarnation.
[See
587-3, 4.]
I have a good court, a broken racquet and a strong desire to
beat you a set of tennis. When are you coming this way
again?
With the most respectful regards, I am
Sincerely, HLC
