[ IP ] He 's not himself .

`` Hello Mrs Jonas- and hello, you must be young Johnny, now, be a good boy and play with those toys over there. You can have a sweetie if you behave yourself... Thank you, Johnny. 
 
 Yes, Mrs Jonas- can I call you Caroline? Good, good. Thank you for bringing him to see me, I already have a lot to tell you. You see, I pored over my textbooks, and I did n't find a thing. However, I persevered, and I believe I have found answers. 
 
 Your description of these'fits' that Johnny is prone too... They are remarkably similar to a condition mentioned in this book I have with me today.'Possesions and Hauntings', Yes. It's a thick old book, I've written the page number on the inside of the cover, right here, see? Page... 612. Let me find it. 607... 610... 612, there. 
 
 It's an awfully long extract though, so I'll spare you the details. It entails symptoms identical to your son's: Levitation, Object Manipulation, Changes in Voice and Appearance. Yes, it's exactly what I thought: a simple case of possession. By whom, you ask? Why, a demon of course! 
 
 Now, now Mrs Jona -- Caroline. Do n't you fret, it's easily treated. I'll write you up a prescription now. I can recommend a pharmacy that will carry what you need- Pearl and Aqua Apocathery, in Stanton- so it's quite close. Hmm let's see... judging by the severity and frequency of Johnny's possessions, you'll be wanting three doses of Holy Water a day, and you'll be sure to want a surplus to throw on him in case of emergency. 
 
 Oh what's this? Johnny is having another episode? I'll sit back and watch, shall I? Observe the patient... Do n't mind me, Johnny, I wo n't get in your way. Just pretend I'm not here.''
