Treats ill (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

doses

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'treats' is the definition.
(dosing is a kind of treating)

I don't understand the rest of the clue.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for doses that I've seen before include "Administers medicine to (someone)" , "Prescribed quantities of medicine" , "draughts" , "Medicates" , "Specific quantities" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
