Miracle Tribes of Africa

An Explorer's Adventure With Cannibals The Rey. John Roscoe, who recently returned from East Africa, has given an account of one of the most marvellous journeys ever undertaken by a man of science.

He has brought back curious knowledge and curious conerete things beyond even his own dreams. The things include 60 or so varieties of herbs—some of which seemed to effect miraculous cures for malaria and even the worse diseases—many native poisons, vast cases of fetishes, implements and instruments going back to 2,000 B.C., and photographs innumerable of strange and grim ceremonies—some cannibalistic—many quite unknown hitherto.

Text read from the printed page and cleaned; old type leaves the occasional error.
