Ichabod Crane is in fact described using figurative language, but the figures of speech used are the metaphor and the simile, as can be seen in the excerpt below:
"hands that dangled a mile out of his sleeves... feet that might have served for shovels... his head... looked like a weathercock perched on his shoulders."
The metaphor is the figure of speech that presents an implicit and subjective comparison between two elements that have something in common, while the simile is the figure of language that presents an explicit comparison between two elements that do not have similarities, but that can develop a new meaning when compared.
Ichabod Crane is the main character of "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow," a story about a village that is haunted by a headless knight who decapitates those he encounters.

The message of the text is that <em>the adverse effects and the problems created by the use of acupuncture</em> are related to "<em>inadequate sterilization and improper delivery of treatments." </em>
