CAPETOAVN, Jan. 2. Jack Kei^hley, a little Johannesburg boy, who was rushed to England for insulin treatment, and whose reported complete cure of diabetes caused a stir, has died. The father, on being interviewed, said the boy died of diabetic coma, not from th© effects of insulin. He was healthy and quite normal np to a fortnight before his death, and alarming symptoms developed on Monday. A blood test was taken, but the boy died in a few hours. The father emphasised that he was satisfied with the insulin treatment.—Sydney Sun Cables.
