SD-004a	A03	medicine:	In Ilarregi there was also another female faith-healer, Maria Ezkurra. She used to heal bones. As a young girl she went to America and she worked as a serving-girl to a faith healer there. One time when the faith healer was not at home a patient called and asked the girl to do what she could. She arrived back here with a husband and she started to do that work here. The people would go to her place. The doctors brought her to court but she passed the test the doctors had prepared for her so that not only did she win the court-case but she also won the right to continue to do that work. The parish priest, José Castillo, was imperfectly treated for an arm injury and the faith-healer from Ilarregi put the arm right for him.
