==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.

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!]]''.
