Sufferings "stuck" in the body (in the past)
 

for Storch [in the eighteenth century], "[a]n error once made remained imprinted on the body and could not be remedied thereafter" (150)
 
"Nor did the stomach forget" (an example here of a woman who eats bad pork in 1726 and is considered to still be suffering ill effects in 1738)
 
"Sufferings remained stuck in the body. Even after they had disappeared, they were still present"
 
[examples of all the above on 150]
