INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT

To The Procter & Gamble Master Savings Plan Committee:

We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits
of the Procter & Gamble Pharmaceuticals Savings Plan (the "Plan") as of December
31, 1999 and 1998, and the related statements of changes in net assets available
for benefits for the years then ended. These financial statements are the
responsibility of the Plan's management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted
in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and
perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial
statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a
test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a
reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, such financial statements present fairly, in all material
respects, the net assets available for benefits of the Plan as of December 31,
1999 and 1998, and the changes in net assets available for benefits for the
years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in
the United States of America.

PROCTER & GAMBLE PHARMACEUTICALS SAVINGS PLAN

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1999 AND 1998
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1.   DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN

     The following brief description of the Procter & Gamble Pharmaceuticals
     Savings Plan (the "Plan") is provided for general information only.
     Participants should refer to the Plan agreement for more complete
     information.

     GENERAL - The Norwich Eaton Employee Savings Plan, began on August 1, 1982
     and was modified effective July 1, 1985 to meet the requirements under
     Internal Revenue Code Section 401(k). Norwich Eaton is a wholly-owned
     subsidiary of The Procter & Gamble Company ("Company"). During 1986, the
     assets and liabilities of the Norwich Eaton Employee Savings Plan were
     transferred to create three plans, one for salaried employees, one for
     hourly employees and one for Norwich Eaton's Greenville location employees.
     Effective July 1, 1987, the Greenville Plan was terminated in connection
     with a corporate reorganization. Effective June 30, 1994, the hourly Plan
     was merged into the salary plan which created the Plan. The Plan is subject
     to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974
     (ERISA).

     CONTRIBUTIONS AND VESTING - In connection with the cessation of
     contributions to the Plan effective July 1, 1991, all participants became
     fully vested and no new participants were allowed in the Plan. Plan
     participants became eligible to participate in The Procter & Gamble Profit
     Sharing Trust and Employee Stock Ownership Plan effective July 1, 1991.

     DISTRIBUTIONS - The Plan provides for benefits to be paid upon retirement,
     disability, death, or separation other than retirement as defined by the
     Plan document. Plan benefits may be made in a lump sum of cash or shares of
     common stock or in installment payments over a period not to exceed 120
     months. Retired or terminated employees shall commence benefit payments
     upon attainment of age 70 1/2.

     WITHDRAWALS - A participant may withdraw any portion of after-tax
     contributions once in any six-month period. Participants who have attained
     age 59 1/2 or have demonstrated financial hardship may withdraw all or any
     portion of their before-tax contributions once in any six-month period.

     PLAN TERMINATION - Although the Company has not expressed any intent to do
     so, it has the right under the Plan to terminate the Plan subject to the
     provisions of ERISA.

     ADMINISTRATION - The Plan is administered by the Master Savings Plan
     Committee consisting of four members appointed by the Board of Directors of
     the Company, except for duties specifically vested in the trustee, PNC
     Bank, Ohio, N.A. ("PNC Bank"), who is also appointed by the Board of
     Directors of the Company.

     TRANSFER FROM UNAFFILIATED PLANS - Amounts represent account balances of
     Company employees transferred from unaffiliated Company plans.

     PARTICIPANT ACCOUNTS AND INVESTMENT OPTIONS - Each participant's account is
     credited with an allocation of the Plan's earnings. The benefit to which a
     participant is entitled is limited to the benefit that can be provided from
     the participant's account. Participants may allocate their account in one
     or all of the following investment options offered by the Plan (Note 4):

          ENHANCED CASH FUND (FORMERLY THE RESERVE FUND) - The prospectus
          indicates that this fund invests in short to medium length maturity,
          interest-bearing instruments.

          COMPANY STOCK FUND - A fund that invests in shares of The Procter &
          Gamble Company common stock.

          ACTIVE FIXED-INCOME CORE FUND (FORMERLY THE MANAGED BOND FUND) - The
          prospectus indicates that this fund invests in a diversified portfolio
          of publicly and privately traded corporate, government, international
          and mortgage backed bonds.

          DISCIPLINED EQUITY FUND (FORMERLY THE LARGE COMPANY FUND) - The
          prospectus indicates that this fund invests in equity securities of
          approximately 300 domestic, large company stocks.

          DIVERSIFIED FUND - The prospectus indicates that this fund invests in
          a balanced portfolio consisting of both equity and fixed securities.

          SMALL COMPANY EQUITY II FUND (FORMERLY THE SMALL COMPANY FUND) - The
          prospectus indicates that this fund invests in a portfolio of equity
          securities issued by small companies.

          INTERNATIONAL EQUITY FUND - The prospectus indicates that this fund
          invests in a diversified portfolio of equity securities of foreign
          corporations.

2.   SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES

     BASIS OF ACCOUNTING - The accompanying financial statements have been
     prepared on the accrual basis of accounting and the Plan's net assets and
     transactions are recorded at fair value. The Plan's investment in The
     Procter & Gamble Company common stock is valued at the closing price on an
     established security exchange. The Plan's investment funds (funds) are
     valued by the fund manager, J.P. Morgan Investment Management, Inc., based
     upon the fair value of the funds' underlying investments. Income from
     investments is recognized when earned and is allocated to each plan
     participating in The Procter & Gamble Master Savings Trust (Master Trust)
     by PNC Bank and to each participant's account by the Plan's recordkeeper.

     EXPENSES OF THE PLAN - Investment management expenses are paid by the Plan
     in 1999. All other expenses are paid by the Company. The Company paid all
     Plan expenses in 1998.

     USE OF ESTIMATES - The preparation of financial statements in conformity
     with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
     America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect
     the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes.
     Actual results could differ from those estimates.

     RECLASSIFICATIONS - The Plan has adopted Statement of Position 99-3
     "Accounting and Reporting of Certain Employee Benefit Plan Investments and
     Other Disclosure Matters." As a result, the financial statements have been
     revised to eliminate the by-fund disclosures.

3.   TAX STATUS

     The Internal Revenue Service has determined and informed the Company by
     letter dated August 22, 1996 that the Plan and related trust are designed
     in accordance with applicable sections of the Internal Revenue Code (IRC).
     The Plan has been amended since receiving the determination letter. The
     Plan Administrator believes that the Plan is designed and is currently
     being operated in compliance with the applicable provisions of the IRC as
     of December 31, 1999 and 1998. Therefore, the Plan Administrator believes
     that the Plan was qualified and tax-exempt as of December 31, 1999 and 1998
     and no provision for income taxes has been reflected in the accompanying
     financial statements.

4.   INTEREST IN MASTER TRUST

     Effective January 1, 1993, the Company formed the Master Trust in
     accordance with a master trust agreement with PNC Bank.

     Use of a master trust permits the commingling of investments that fund
     various Company-sponsored defined contribution plans for investment and
     administrative purposes. Although assets are commingled in the Master
     Trust, PNC Bank maintains records for the purpose of allocating
     contributions and changes in net assets of the Master Trust to
     participating Plans based upon each plan's proportionate interest in the
     Master Trust. The following represents the 1999 and 1998 audited financial
     information regarding the net assets and investment income of the Master
     Trust:
