"Arigo: Surgeon of the Rusty Knife" by John G. Fuller

"Researching his 1974 biography Arigo: Surgeon of the Rusty Knife, John Fuller interviewed satisfied patients of Arigo, doctors and journalists who had encountered him and witnessed his work, and other interested parties, who included a former president of Brazil Juscelino Kubitschek, British consul HV Walter, researchers Andrija Puharich and Henry Belk, and a sympathetic judge. Brazilians provided him with relevant Portuguese-language documents, including Arigo’s diaries and correspondence, court records, research notes, news stories and books about the healer."
