144: "Phenomena we consider psychic and part of the noncorporeal realm, were treated in [eighteenth-century] Eisenach in the same way as other ailments"
Duden 142: for Storch, "anger and fright, impressions, delusions, and imagined things were the prime causes of illness. With all these phenomena there occurred an exchange between outside and inside, and the inner body mediated what happened to it in the outside world"
"the skin as a sheath of the inside was also everywhere open to the outside [...] this boundary was also a very thin-skinned mediator of external occurrences"
143: "Anger was [a] heated, internal upwelling that caused a multitude of pains"
147: "Fright seems to have had an even more intimate relation to the women's two fluxes than anger. Fright 'instantly' caused the monthly bleeding to stagnate"
in general, "[e]motions affected the body in very immediate and direct ways. Something bad had to be expelled from the inside to keep it from getting stuck" (see "flux" and "stagnation") (144)
