It　is　useless　to　continue　this　confession．The　final　disasterhas　arrived，and　will　put　an　end　to　my　punishment．I　shallsoon　lose　my　own　face　and　character　for　ever．I　have　only　afew　doses　of　the　drug　left．I　sent　Poole　to　the　same　chemist　tofetch　some　more　chemicals．When　he　brought　them，I　mixed　adose　of　the　drug．The　liquid　smoked　and　changed　from　red　topurple，but　it　did　not　turn　green．I　drank　it，and　looked　in　themirror．But　there　was　no　effect．Edward　Hyde's　face　stillstared　back　at　me．

I　expect　Poole　has　told　you　that　I　have　searched　London　forthe　chemicals　I　need．It　is　no　good．I　have　decided　that　thefirst　chemicals　I　bought　were　not　absolutely　pure．By　accident，they　contained　something　unknown　to　myself　or　to　the　chemistthat　prepared　them．And　that　unknown　something　made　mydrug　effective．So　my　drug　was　an　accidental　discovery　thatcannot　be　repeated．

About　a　week　has　passed．I　have　used　the　last　of　the　oldchemicals，and　for　the　moment　I　am　Henry　Jekyll　again．But　Icannot　write　much　more…I　have　very　little　time．If　Hyde　re…turns　while　I　am　writing　this　confession，he　will　tear　it　topieces　to　annoy　me．If　I　finish　it，however，he　will　probablynot　notice　it．He　lives　only　for　the　moment，and　he　is　already　achanged　man．He　is　like　a　trapped　animal　now．He　sits　in　mychair　trembling　and　weeping　with　hate　and　fear．All　the　timehe　listens　for　the　policeman's　knock　at　the　door．Will　he　becaught　at　last，and　put　to　death？Or　will　he　be　brave　enough　totake　a　dose　of　poison　at　the　last　moment？

Well，that　is　not　my　business．This　is　the　true　hour　of　mydeath．When　you　read　this，the　Henry　Jekyll　you　know　will　bedead．The　rest　of　the　story　is　about　Edward　Hyde．Now，as　Iput　down　my　pen，I　bring　the　life　of　unhappy　Henry　Jekyll　toan　end．
