Seaside treatment for complaint (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

disease

'complaint' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'seaside treatment' is the wordplay.
'treatment' is an anagram indicator.
'seaside' anagrammed gives 'DISEASE'.

'for' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for disease that I've seen before include "Seaside (anag) -- ailment" , "scrapie for example" , "Contagion" , "scurvy?" , "blight" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
