Medical Xylography Description Block 100

Author: Possibly Rene Descartes (1596-1650).

Book: "Treatise on Man".  (ca. 1664).

Notes: This illustration is very similar to block 13. Descartes wrote on the way we react to pain (eg. touching fire). I have not been able to find this exact illustration as of yet but it is similar to others that were by Descartes.
