Jekyll's Involuntary Transformations

Jekyll describes how, after the murder, he resolved to give up Hyde, but the transformations began to occur involuntarily. He would wake up as Hyde, and the drug became less effective, requiring larger doses. He eventually lost control, transforming into Hyde even without the potion. His final supply of the special salt ran out, and he realized he could no longer return to his original form.
