Whilst perusing a copy of The Spectator, dated July 5, 1828, I observed with some distress the following announcement:-
"The king's giraffe is given over by physicians. The complaint seems to be general debility, with an especial weakness in the knee-joints."
Sad to say, I know perfectly well how the poor beast feels.
