English 要約
Her father was also a famous natural healer, but he did not want his daughter to 充てる her life to this （手先の）技術; she could never be more than a bad quack, he （人命などを）奪う，主張するd, since she was a woman. But 内密に she learned all of her father's 技術s, by lurking in the background while he 扱う／治療するd his 患者s.
Kisamor received 患者s on a 正規の／正選手 basis at the Kisa inn. People （機の）カム from all the Nordic countries to the little village of Kisa in the Östergötland 郡, but mostly they （機の）カム from Stockholm and the 郡 of Värmland.
Pretty much has been written about Kisamor in Sweden, most of it is based upon oral tradition or earlier 第２位 sources. I would not 持続する that most of that is erroneous, but 最初の／主要な sources are 不十分な. 噂するs have it that Kisamor once cured King Karl XIV Johan and the 栄冠を与える Prince Oscar. After an 調査 by the 国家の Board of Health (the Sundhetskollegiet) she was supposed to have become a sort of 登録（する）d 内科医. This, however, has not been possible to 立証する. [See 公式文書，認める 2!]
Kisamor's real 指名する was Maria Jansson (いつかs spelt Jaensson) and she was born on July 30th 1788 at the Kvarntorp cottage in the parish of Hardemo, Örebro 郡, Sweden, as the fourth child of the 農業者 Johan Johansson and his wife Kerstin Nilsdotter. Kisamor practised natural 薬／医学, beginning at the age of 13.
Between 1807 and 1819 she was married to the 農業者 Anders Olsson. This marriage was 軍隊d upon her by her father, as a means to keep her from 成し遂げるing 医療の 義務s. Instead she was to 充てる herself to her husband and to housekeeping.
This marriage was of course unhappy. In the spring of 1810, soon after her first child had been born and soon thereafter died, Kisamor escaped from home, 結局 returning after much pursuasion. She hoped do 耐える the marriage until her father died. Another daughter was born in 1811. This child died too, only a few months old. This was probably part of her 推論する／理由 for definitely leaving the marriage. At this time Kisamor was also 逮捕（する）d for having 毒（薬）d a 農業者, who died because he took the wrong 投薬量 of the 定める／命ずるd 薬／医学. The 法廷，裁判所 decided that Kisamor "herafter was not to 関心 herself with the curing of illnesses".
But Kisamor did not 中止する to cure. In 1813 she was 招待するd to the Åby manor i the nearby parish of Horn to 扱う／治療する a former 採掘 superintendent, Nils Wibjörnsson, afflicted with 癌. Kisamor was considered a specialist on this 病気 同様に as on pulmonary 消費. She 掴むd this 適切な時期 and travelled 負かす／撃墜する to Åby and managed to cure her 患者. Then she met the two Hellwegh sisters, 親族s of the 回復するd Wibjörnsson, and they 招待するd Kisamor to settle 負かす／撃墜する at their farm Flytthem. Kisamor 受託するd. Her practice in Horn was successful. During the first years she travelled the countryside, making housecalls, and therefore she was at first called Åkar-Maja (appr. "Travelling Mary"). She also had scheduled visiting hours at the Kisa inn, and 結局 she got the 指名する Kisamor.
The 郡 of Östergötland, Sweden
In 1815 she did something really remarkable for her time. She had long tried to get a 離婚. Now she 告訴するd her husband for "bad 世帯ing and 不品行／姦通". A very difficult period followed, where 裁判，公判s were 延期するd and 再開するd. In 1818 Kisamor's husband 脅すd to shoot her or （警官の）巡回区域，受持ち区域 her to death. At last, after six 裁判，公判s she got her 離婚 in 1819.
Between the years 1820 to 1824 Kisamor had a 充てるd admirer in Amalia Rääf, who wrote large numbers of letters, one each day, filled with emotion and romantic infatuation. Amalia, who at this time was in her 早期に thirties, often wrote about the "peace of the 墓／厳粛／彫る／重大な" and her hopes to 会合，会う Kisamor one day on "the other 味方する". She called herself Kisamor's daughter and spoke frequently in her letters about the bliss to cry and be 慰安d in Kisamor's 武器. They met now and then in マグロ, where Kisamor 扱う／治療するd Amalia's sister Charlotte.
The number of 患者s that （機の）カム to see her 増加するd 刻々と. To get better ackommodation 施設s she also used the Stora Flarka inn, starting in 1829. Even today there is a room called "Kisamor's 議会" at Stora Flarka. She also 宿泊するd several 患者s at Katrineberg, a house belonging to the Åby manor. Kisamor rented this place in 1827, and she lived there for the 残り／休憩（する） of her life.

Betty Ehrenborg
The best and most 信頼できる 描写 of Kisamor is the diary of Betty Ehrenborg, a young authoress, who was 扱う／治療するd by Kisamor in 1839. The 21 year old Betty 記録，記録的な／記録するd her impressions of Kisamor in her diary (利用できる at the Origo section in Swedish) every day, but in French, to keep the notations 安全な from Kisamor, who, of course, didn't speak this language.
Kisamor was a sturdy, mannish, temperamental woman, of 普通の／平均（する） 高さ, with blue 侵入するing 注目する，もくろむs. As a young woman she was gentle and good-humoured, but success seemed to make her more arrogant and despotic. During the last １０年間 of her life she was （麻薬）常用者d to alcohol and became rather red-直面するd. All of her 患者s, rich people 同様に as poor, were 扱う／治療するd alike - によれば her 現在の mood, however.
