RASBI'S LIFE SAVED A WONDERFUL OPERATION (Times Air Mai! ?erviee.l LONDON. April 2i. One of the ereatest miracles of surtery ever performed—revealed yesterday—no* only save the life* of Rabbi Ezekipl Born-stein, but enabled him to speak English. The Babbl was dying from a tumour an the brain, burgeons in the Hospital for Ecmw Dtirnet, Malda Vale, w.. removed the top half of his skull, boiled !t fn a special preparation; then rtgrafted it back so perfectly that only the faintest signs of the operation remained. “ I Was Amazed ” When I saw him at his home in St. Hilda's Boad N.. yesterday he said; “Look! You can hardly see the •care now,” he said, pointing to hts temple. He was right. I rouW not see them until I peered closely. “ t was verv 11! when I went to hos- * pttal." he added “ They performed a wonderful operation on me. They took off the top of my head. •• When I was well enough to get up I found I could speak English better than I ever could before I always speak Yiddish, never English. “ Yet I found T could pronounce the worde fairly easily. I was amazed.”
