It serves as a reminder of how adversity can test one's resilience. Meanwhile, victims of Saint Vitus Dance embark on a pilgrimage, seeking solace and healing from their torment.

Draining fluid from a Hydrocele of the Scrotum, depicted in an engraving from "Exercitationes Practicae circa Medendi Methodum, " showcases medical interventions aimed at alleviating physical afflictions. It highlights mankind's relentless pursuit to find relief from suffering. Drawing parallels with biblical references, Numbers 21:4-9 recounts poisonous snake bites afflicting rebellious Israelites. This cautionary tale reminds us that our actions have consequences and that even divine intervention cannot shield us from self-inflicted afflictions. An engraving titled "Pure Religion and Undefiled before God is this, to Visit the Fatherless and Widows in their Affliction, " emphasizes compassion towards those experiencing hardship. It underscores the importance of extending support to vulnerable individuals during times of distress. A relic depicting Robert Burns and Walter Scott signifies how even renowned figures are not immune to afflictions such as writer's block or creative struggles. It serves as a testament that greatness can emerge despite personal tribulations. Gout, leg ulcers or sores, tooth decay - these engravings depict various physical ailments that inflict pain upon humanity. They serve as reminders for us to prioritize our health and seek timely treatment when faced with such conditions. The depiction of scabies in another engraving sheds light on lesser-known afflictions plaguing society throughout history.
