His suffering from Sciatica was so
great, but thanks to Nerviline he was
cured. "I suffered for three years from
sciatica" writes E. S. Jenkins of Port-
land, "and no man ever suffered more.
I spent a small fortune on different
remedies but the only one with real
merit was Nerviline, I used a few
bottles of Nerviline and was perfectly
cured. I can recommend Nerviline as a
sure cure for sciatica; it's excellent for
rheumatism and neuralgia." Try Ner-

"A
FOREIGNER."
(Sergeant Brown (Montreal) of the Royal
65th Victoria Fusiliers—and of the First Con-
tingent—reads Sir Wilfrid's speech in the mess
after the evening parade, and speaks his
mind.)
"A foreigner," boys ! That beats me ; I can't
get over that.
It fares me entirely; I don't know where
I'm at.
The ''Union Jack is upon the wall ; it doesn't
look forlorn;
And I 'wonder if I'nm a "foreigner," too, in the
country where I was born.
Sir Wilfrid calls him"a foreigner," alien in
mind and in heart.
Then were wo a "foreign" legion, serving the
Queen for hire,
When we marched with Roberts actress the
veldt, trying to do our part,
By the
h Cron eon 'spitide, in
the long days' march,
or
I wonder if I'm a "foreigner?" Was I serving
a "foreign" Queen?
Have I lost my Canadian birthright in the
places mvhero I have been ?
X have never been under a different flag from
the one ou the wall -there now,
But neither has Lord Dtmdonald ; and yet he's
a "foreigner!" How?
Gordons, Shropshires and Cornwalls; Boys of
the Old Brigade,
Was it a stranger's welcome wo got from yon
comrades? No!
Right front the heart, my brothers; and bro-
thers' cheerful aid.
Yoh did not know wo were "foreigners" till
our Premier told you so.
I am sorry about Sir Wilfrid ; I thought him a
right geed kind ;
And I'm serf, I gave him a vote or two before
he showed us his mind ;
But I'll never give him another while the
Moddet grass growseen
O'er my comrades who died'noath a "foreign"
flag in the pay of a "foreign" Queen,
