In a letter in the September issue,1 Walker raises the same issues that were discussed in his recent letter to The New England Journal of Medicine2; namely: (a) Fluids prescribed for ingestion during typical episodes of diarrhea in the United States should contain less than 17 mmoles of sodium per liter. (b) Oral rehydration solutions containing 80 to 90 mmoles of sodium per liter, similar to the solution recommended by the World Health Organization (WHO) should be administered under direct supervision (implying a hospital setting).
