What is said to be the largest stone ever cut by human hands lies in an abandoned quarry near the ruins of Hualbek, in Syria. This mammoth obelisk is about 75ft Jong, 18ft high, and 15ft wide. Its weight is estimated at 1500 tons. High up in the wall of an old castle at. Baalbek are other stones nearly as large. No one knows when the massive blocks were quarried, or how they were moved from place to place and hoisted into position, for the race that hewed them into shape carved no inscriptions or memorials upon them; For Influenza take Woods' Great Peppermint Cure. Never fails. 1/6, 2/6.
