Operation Brings Back SIGHT.
Dumbness Caused by Clot on the Brain. A remarkable operation on the brain, which had the effect of giving back the power of speech to a dumb man, has been performed at the Bellevue Hospital in New York. The man, Frank Deirloin, lost his power of speech last November. No valid cause could be assigned for the infirmity, and the doctors treated him for some time without success.
Doctors Madey and Stewart, two prominent surgeons on the Bellevue Hospital staff, then decided to perform an operation on daring and novel lines.
They bored into the fore part of his brain, and there, as they expected, found a clot. This was removed by the aid of an electric battery. As soon as the clot was taken away Deirlein found that he could talk. He has now recovered almost completely from the effect of the operation.
