title: [Apparently supernatural healing forces from a prepared shoe].
abstract: Authors report on results of the examination of a specially prepared shoe, therapeutically used by a faith-healer. The patients felt unexpected sensations caused by an electrical circuit built in the shoe and released by the doctors big toe. The faith-healer justified his method to be a special kind of "electrophysiological therapy". The public prosecutor withdrew the impeachment on trickery.
