Quack doctor seeks assistant. Duties will include the demonstration of the fantastical powers of medicinal remedies of my own devising at markets and fairs across the country. After you have swallowed one of my toads, which are supposedly deadly poisonous, you will miraculously come back to life following a dose of one of my medicaments. Then crowds eager for some relief from their aches and pains, infections and diseases will flock to purchase it.
Some experience in sleight-of-hand is advisable, unless you particularly relish the notion of suffering terrible stomach-ache and violent vomiting after gorging down a fat toad – in which case, incidentally, you may find that my own 'Potion for Curious Maladies', at three pence a bottle, provides some relief.
The man in the restroom of the Highline Ballroom, tonight.
