Dear Mr. Levy:
Dad turned your letter of August 20, over to me. He is
writing you today or tomorrow. I have been working on the
Ipsab and other specifics given in readings for some time.
There is every evidence that there is a real future in the
proper handling of them.
The Health Home Remedies Co., Box 103, Virginia Beach, Va.,
is at the present time only a name with a box number. I
have materials on hand for making up, bottling, labeling and
placing in cartons 1,000 bottles of Ipsab. Two drug stores
in Norfolk are carrying Ipsab and three individuals have
recently started working on a house to house canvas on 50%
commission basis. They are learning a good deal about
pyorrhea though their sales have been slow - 15 bottles
in the first two weeks. Every dentist in Norfolk has been
advised that they may secure samples of Ipsab for testing
purposes. So far only two of them have taken advantage of
this offer and have not been using it long enough to check
results. About fifty bottles have been sold to members of
the Association during the past year and some favorable
reports are coming in on the results.
The formula has been improved since you considered this
proposition some years ago. Temperatures, densities and
quantities are very important. The readings suggested the
placing of the formula on the label and have indicated that
chemical analysis would not reveal the various proportions
in the preparation.
I am mailing you under separate cover two bottles of Ipsab
and a jar of Tim for Hemorrhoids. Be sure that the following
directions are followed carefully in the use of each:
IPSAB - Saturate tuft of cotton with Ipsab and massage
thoroughly into the gum about the teeth infected. Rinse
mouth with water. Application should be made at least
once each day.
TIM - Use as ointment twice each day and after each
application - rest for ten to fifteen minutes with feet
elevated above the level of the head.
I hope your friend will give the Ipsab a thorough test.
Where it has been used as directed individuals have gotten
results. This preparation is not a cure-all, but I am
convinced that it will cure and prevent pyorrhea. You will
find, Mr. Levy, that dentists differ as to the causes of
pyorrhea. I have talked with some who were supposed to
be specialists on it and they thoroughly disagree. If you
are able to get more than one to test it I will be glad to
furnish whatever amount of Ipsab you need. I am inclosing
some report blanks that will indicate the time necessary for
using the preparation. I will appreciate it very much if you
will advise me as to just what your dentist friend considered
wrong in the pamphlet.
The first thing to do is to convince yourself of the value
of the products, especially Ipsab. Then we can go into the
details of handling them.
Naturally, even if the products are good the advertising
is going to be the main issue. The readings have indicated
that intensive local advertising, if necessary in conjunction
with the house to house teams to start with (as this is
inexpensive) will gradually enable us to build up a real
business. It is my intention to push one product at a tim
while getting reports on others. We have several specifics.
I am handling the Appliances and Animated Ash under the
H.H.R. Co. This company need not remain the distributor
for any one remedy. It will remain the manufacturing
agent for them all. I intend to incorporate as quickly
as possible.
I will certainly appreciate anything you are able to do in
this matter. First the test to convince yourself. Then it
would be well for us to sit down and go over all the possible
ways of handling the proposition and select the best one.
As you have already observed and as I expect your friend has
confirmed - if we have what we think we have it is one of the
greatest discoveries of the century. Pyorrhea is a serious
disease. This Ipsab has caused a lot of trouble in the past.
I want to move slowly but steadily forward. Your advice and
help will be most welcome.
With love to Mrs. Levy, Sonny and yourself,
Sincerely, Hugh Lynn Cayce

Dear Mr. Levy:-
Was glad to have yours of the 20th, when I had finished
reading your letter gave it to Hugh Lynn and told him to
write you right away, and guess he has, after the last
time we had that flare about Ipsab with Preston [A. C.
Preston] when you were present, when we were supposed to
have a meeting, I turned the whole thing over to Hugh Lynn.
- and told him I was through with the whole thing but would
give any information that a reading might give about the
Formula. But the readings have insisted for about 15 years
there was a fortune to be made from the manufacturing and
selling the product, for it works, where ever it is used
properly but guess Hugh Lynn has told you all there is to
tell about it.
Have been hoping against hope that you would get a chance to
run down here this summer, we have been kept very close here,
have been fairly busy all summer and several people have been
in for readings, well from all over - most from N.Y. however.
There were six here last weekend,three from Washington, two
from N.Y. and one from Detroit. So was a busy weekend, and
someone has just wired for next weekend from Washington.
All have been fair as to health. Pa is not well but keeps
up and going, which is a wonder to me. The rest are as well
as might be expected I guess. Had wire from Sister about two
weeks ago - she fell and broke her right wrist, letter from
them today tho she is getting on very nicely, and has lost
little or no time from her work, she is back in millinery.
Glad to know Sonny is getting on nicely, sure would love to
see him as well as you and Mrs. Levy. Be sure and remember
me to Sonny when you see him and give our love to Mrs. Levy.
From the tests that have been made heretofore, don't think
anything but what your man will find Ipsab good. Have
letters about it everyday or so, so I hear I have one once
in a while asking about it. I would like to see something
done with it if it is OK and of course would not want
anything done unless it will show results to those that
use it.
Will be glad to know what you think, and to do anything to
help if it proves worth while to those the man tests the
stuff on. Let me hear again soon,
Love and best wishes... Edgar
