Oral Rehydration Solution(ORS) was first developed for infant diarrhea 

(acute gastroenteritis) in developing countries.  

  see → http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oral_rehydration_therapy#cite_note-14

The key point is  that absorption of water in intestine is associated 

with Na and glucose.

Oral Rehydration Solution( for example, OS-1 ) for children in developed 

countries contain lower concentration of Na & Cl than that of  ORS(WHO). 

               Na          K            Cl       citric acid----   glucose  (mmol/L)
