Photos published by Underwood and Underwood while Teddy Roosevelt toured Africa following his presidency.

"HORRIBLE CUSTOM. Some of the natives of central Africa indulge in the horrible, and to us the almost unbelievable, custom of eating their own dead. This picture shows a cure being administered by the village witch and her assistant to a woman suffering from cramps, caused by excess in eating from the flesh of a dead relative. This horrible custom exists no doubt, because of the scarcity of meat, of which the natives are very fond."
