context: Kivi was still talkative when he was admitted to the hospital in June, but lost his ability to speak and exercise during the fall and eventually did not even identify his brother. The stone was removed in February 1872 after doctors found that the treatments had no beneficial effect on the patient's condition. Brother Alpertti then took him with him to Syvälahti in Tuusula, where he died at the age of 38 in December 1872. [14]
