Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde by Robert Louis Stevenson

    Dr. Jekyll prepares a potion which makes the person more younger and cruel for some time. That potion converts Dr. Jekyll to a brutal person namely Mr. Hyde who commit serious crimes.

    Mr. utterson finds all this fishy and investigates the case. By the time the potion was overpowering the doctor and slowly he started turning into a split personality. Sometimes he changes into Mr. Hyde without the use of potion. He gets annoyed with this change in himself and tries to find an antidote.
