Nervous Cures is a Ethiopian skit probably created by Joe Brown and Wash Norton of the original Christy Minstrels.
According to an Australian website about Circus History Society, in its section covering the Barlow Minstrel Troupehttps://barlowtheinimitablebluetailedfly.weebly.com/uploads/2/8/3/6/28364443/troupes_with_connections_to_barlow.pdf], they had been shipwrecked on the coast of South Africa and then continued on to Australia, where they went on to perform.
There is a record Brown and Norton performing this particular skit at the School of Arts in Sydney Australia on 5 May, 1863 as part in their final season.
