The communication stated that the persons addressed had reached the age limits for ordinary mor- tals as provided in certain sections of the state statutes, and advised that each drink a quart of pure olive oil before reporting to the crematory “so as to prevent the explosion which occurs when bodies of heavy consumers of alco- hol are burned.” The notices were sent chiefly to rather ingenuous persons who took them serfously and sought police protection.
