Summary

"The Improved Antidote, Supposed to Be More Active in Expelling Poison, Than A Late Invention" by Philodemus is a political pamphlet from the 1800s that tackles religious persecution and pushes for Catholic freedom in Ireland. It goes up against the Protestant system by calling out what the author sees as problems in religion and politics at the time. Philodemus argues for Catholic rights and points out the problems with claims that Protestants are better people. A big part of the pamphlet is about demanding full freedom for Catholics, so everyone has the same rights no matter their religion, and it pushes for fairness and change in society by looking closely at both Protestant and Catholic ways.
