To me, the constitutional authority of the Congress to prohibit the migration and importation of slaves into any of the states, does not appear questionable. The first article of the Constitution specifics the legislative powers committed to Congress.
"Let any signor apply this box to his nostrils and he will find an honest odour of medicaments not indeed of pounded gems, or rare vegetables from the East, or stones found in the bodies of birds; for I practise on the diseases of the vulgar, for whom heaven has provided cheaper and less powerful remedies according to their degree: and there are even remedies known to our science which are entirely free of cost as the new tussis may be counteracted in the poor, who can pay for no specifics, by a resolute holding of the breath.
Thereafter would come scraps of nursing information, recipes against coughing, specifics against short breath, speculations about watchers, how soon she would need them, and long legends of other death-beds where the fear of death had been slain by the power of an endless life.
It would certainly be a great convenience to us, to deliver a portion of our specifics at Fredericktown, rather than in Carolina: but I leave it to you to judge, whether this would be consistent with the general good or safety.

By the advice of he Spanish boatman, we applied an embrocation of the leaves of the palma Christi, or castor oil nut, as hot as the lad could bear it, but we had neither oil nor hot milk to give internally, both of which they informed us often proved specifics.
Not that homoeopaths, while they depend upon specifics, believe that there is any such thing as a specific for a disease a disease being as various as the individuality of the human beings whom it may attack; but that an approximate specific may be found for every well-defined stage in every individual disease; a disease having its process of change, development, and decline, like a vegetable or animal life.
Cardinal Malipieri, whom we saw assisting at the sort of council held at the Princess de Saint-Dizier's, now on his way to Rodin's apartment, was dressed as a layman, but enveloped in an ample pelisse of puce-colored satin, which exhaled a strong odor of camphor, for the prelate had taken care to surround himself with all sorts of anti-cholera specifics.
