The Nervous Cures! is a vaudeville sketch by the Christy Minstrels.

The original text

A song and dance act, as danced by the Christy's Minstrels, according to a version of the music "arranged for the pianoforte" by M. Younger and published in Sydney by W.J. Johnson &​ Co., somewhere between 1863-69. The publication "Dedicated to the Christy's Minstrels".

It is likely to have been a part of the repertoire of the Christy Minstrels when they toured the British colonies in 1862.

Translations and adaptations

Performance history in South Africa

1862: A local Dutch newspaper (Het Volksblad, 6 November, 1862) mentioned a piece called as De Zenuwen ("The Nerves") presented as part of the repertoire of "the original" the Christy Minstrels while in the Cape Colony (from September to November). This was probably an alternative title for The Nervous Cures!.
