Abstract

A dosing container comprising a floor; a sidewall extending from said floor; indicia disposed on said container, whereby said indicia indicates a desired volume of an additive fluid by which said container must be filled, as a function of a characteristic of a targeted item, at least one dimension of the container, and a desired effect at said target item when the additive fluid is applied to the target item.

1 . A dosing container comprising:
 a floor;   a sidewall extending from said floor;   indicia disposed on said container, whereby said indicia indicates a desired volume of an additive fluid by which said container must be filled, as a function of a characteristic of a target item, at least one dimension of the container, and a desired effect at said target item when the additive fluid is applied to the target item.   
     
     
         2 . The dosing container of  claim 1 , wherein said indicia comprises a first indicia indicative of a characteristic of the target item; and a second indicia indicative of an amount of additive fluid required to achieve the desired effect when used; the first indicia cooperating with said second indicia to indicate the desired volume of additive fluid necessary to achieve the desired effect as a function of the dimensions of the container. 
     
     
         3 . The dosing container of  claim 1 , wherein said indicia is disposed on said sidewall. 
     
     
         4 . The dosing container of  claim 1 , wherein said sidewall is transparent. 
     
     
         5 . The dosing container of  claim 1 , wherein said sidewall is translucent. 
     
     
         6 . The dosing container of  claim 4 , wherein said indicia is disposed on said sidewall. 
     
     
         7 . The dosing container of  claim 5 , wherein said indicia is disposed on said sidewall. 
     
     
         8 . The dosing container of  claim 2 , wherein said first indicia includes a plurality of lines, said second indicia includes a second plurality of lines, the second plurality of lines intersecting the first plurality of lines; each intersection indicating the desired volume of additive fluid. 
     
     
         9 . The dosing container of  claim 1 , further comprising a handle extending from said sidewall. 
     
     
         10 . The dosing container of  claim 1 , wherein said sidewall is tapered. 
     
     
         11 . The dosing container of  claim 1 , wherein the target item is a person. 
     
     
         12 . The dosing container of  claim 11 , wherein the fluid is a medicine.
