Colonist, a hero, bringing remedy? (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

antacid

'remedy?' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'colonist a hero' is the wordplay.
'colonist' becomes 'ant' (I've seen this before).
'hero' becomes 'cid' (I've seen this in other clues).
'ant'+'a'+'cid'='ANTACID'

'bringing' is the link.

(Other definitions for antacid that I've seen before include "Indigestion cure" , "Medicine to settle the stomach" , "Substance used to treat stomach upsert" , "calming agent" , "Indigestion relief" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
