Default Medicine Show

Hey everyone. I'm leaving for my "big" gig tomorrow (big meaning for me pay over $100 and a motel room payed for!) and the show I'm in is "Professor Marmalade's Medicine Show".

I was wondering if any of you had ideas for possible medicine show tonics that would lend themselves well to clowning. Right now we have Mind Tonic (allows you to read minds) and Magic Tonic (allows you to do magic).

Also, we'd like to sell little handmade objects that fit the theme. Right now we're thinking garishly painted matchboxes for a flea circus and small fairy catching system with a mini net etc. Anyone have some other cool ideas on what we can sell?

Also, any skits, jokes or other related comedic bits would be welcome!
