A harmless-looking medicine becomes the source of an inexplicable corruption. When Miss Helen Leicester's scholarly lawyer brother begins taking an unidentified white powder, his behaviour and physical condition alter in ways that conventional diagnosis cannot contain. From her first-person viewpoint, the security of a family home in London gives way to isolation, uncertainty and the fear that something beyond ordinary illness has entered domestic life. Medicine offers no easy refuge from the unknown. Clinical observation and chemical inquiry bring the language of evidence to a case that steadily resists rational explanation, while documentary-style medical material sharpens the tension between scientific method and occult possibility. The powder remains both substance and enigma: an object of investigation whose effects expose the limits of professional knowledge without surrendering the mystery too soon. Bodily corruption is rendered through the intimate perspective of a sister trying to understand a transformation she can neither dismiss nor explain. Consulting rooms, an old-fashioned chemist's shop and nocturnal streets extend the unease beyond the household, yet the narrative's force lies in the collision between familiar surroundings and supernatural horror. Psychological dread, forbidden knowledge and medical mystery converge in a Gothic account of observation under pressure, where every attempt at certainty opens onto a more disturbing unknown. This book was out of print for decades and is now republished by Alpha Editions. It has been restored for today's and future generations. This edition is not just a reprint - it's a collector's item and a cultural treasure.
