From the naturopathy book by Friedrich Eduard Bilz, various spectacularly unpleasant healing methods are presented with wit and irony, including: the "home arm bender", the " torso trainer", the "nose shower". The fact that "the trade nose helps to recognize the business partner" is a side blow to the racial ideology of the National Socialist era. Cutout animation and the use of illustrations are reminiscent of the work of the British artist group Monty Python.
