In the CPI, Procter Gamble is considered to be a diversified company. It was incorporated in 1905, having been built from a business founded in 1837 by William Procter and James Gamble. Today, the company manufactures a broad range of products and markets them directly to the consumer in many countries throughout the world.

In 1928 James Gamble and Monroe Mclver of Harvard, then in the midst of their pioneer work that stimulated the study of electrolytes in pediatrics, found that the total chloride concentration of cat gastric juice obtained from the body of the stomach was constant and almost equal to the fixed base, that is, all the cations remaining after incineration of the sample of the animal s plasma. Hydrogen ion concentration plus fixed base in the juice varied reciprocally, but their sum was equal to that of chloride. In secretions from the antrum that contained no acid, the fixed base and the sum of chloride and bicarbonate were each nearly equal to the fixed base of plasma (Fig. 1-7). These data imply that gastric secretions are nearly...
