               REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS


May 30, 1997

To the Participants and Administrator of
 the Warner-Lambert Savings and Stock Plan
 for Colleagues in Puerto Rico

In our opinion, the accompanying statements of net assets available 
for benefits and the related statements of changes in net assets 
available for benefits present fairly, in all material respects, the 
net assets available for benefits of the Warner-Lambert Savings and 
Stock Plan for Colleagues in Puerto Rico at December 31, 1996 and 
1995, and the changes in net assets available for benefits for the 
years then ended, in conformity with generally accepted accounting 
principles.  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 of these statements in accordance with generally accepted 
auditing standards which 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, assessing the accounting principles used and 
significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall 
financial statement presentation.  We believe that our audits provide 
a reasonable basis for the opinion expressed above.

Our audits were performed for the purpose of forming an opinion on 
the basic financial statements taken as a whole.  The additional 
information included in Schedules I and II of the Master Trust is 
presented for purposes of additional analysis and is not a required 
part of the basic financial statements but is additional information 
required by ERISA.  The Fund Information in the statement of net 
assets available for benefits and the statements of changes in net 
assets available for benefits is presented for purposes of additional 
analysis rather than to present the net assets available for plan 
benefits and changes in net assets available for benefits of each 
fund.  Schedules I and II of the Master Trust and the Fund 
Information have been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in 
the audits of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, are 
fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the basic 
financial statements taken as a whole

                          WARNER-LAMBERT
                      SAVINGS AND STOCK PLAN
                   FOR COLLEAGUES IN PUERTO RICO
                   NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

The financial statements of the Warner-Lambert Savings and Stock 
Plan for Colleagues in Puerto Rico (the "Plan") are prepared on the 
accrual basis of accounting.  

Master Trust Arrangement

The assets of the Plan have been commingled with the assets of the 
Warner-Lambert Savings and Stock Plan (collectively referred to as 
"the Plans"), for investment and administrative purposes in the 
Warner-Lambert Company Master Trust (the "Master Trust").  The 
Plans do not own specific Master Trust assets but rather maintain 
an undivided beneficial interest in such assets.  Each Plans' 
interest in the Trust is credited or charged for contributions, 
transfers and distributions. Realized gains and losses and changes 
in net unrealized appreciation or depreciation on investments were 
allocated to the Plans based upon each Plans' beneficial interest 
in the net assets of the Master Trust.

Expenses

All expenses incurred are borne by the Plan. 


NOTE 2 - DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN:

The Plan is a defined contribution profit-sharing savings plan 
covering employees of the Company in Puerto Rico who meet certain 
eligibility and participation requirements.  The following brief 
description of the Plan is provided for general information 
purposes only.  Participants should refer to the Plan agreement for 
more complete information.

Contributions

Participants may elect to contribute into the Plan from a minimum 
of 1% up to a maximum of 15% of their basic earnings each year.  
Participants have the option of contributing on a before-tax basis 
and/or an after-tax basis.  The Company contributes for each 
participant an amount equal to 35% and 25% of such participant's 
pre-tax and after-tax contributions, respectively, limited to those 
participant contributions less than or equal to 6% of the 
participant's basic earnings.  Based upon the vesting requirements 
of the Plan, additional lump-sum matching contributions are 
recorded each year of 25% to 65% of such participants' 
contributions, up to 6% of base earnings, based upon growth in the 
Company's earnings-per-share versus the prior year.  All Company 
contributions are invested in the Warner-Lambert Company Stock 
Fund.

Investment Options

Participants can elect to have their contributions invested in any 
of the funds noted below, with the exception of the Warner-Lambert 
Company Stock Fund.  At age fifty-five, participants can transfer 
assets out of the Company Stock Fund to other investment funds.  A 
description of all of these funds are as follows:

WARNER-LAMBERT COMPANY STOCK FUND - This fund invests employer 
contributions in Warner-Lambert Company common stock.

WARNER-LAMBERT COLLEAGUE STOCK FUND - This fund invests in Warner-
Lambert common stock, to provide an additional opportunity to 
participate in the performance of Warner-Lambert Company common 
stock.

S&P 500 FUND - This fund invests in substantially all common stocks 
that make up the S&P 500 to match, as closely as possible, the 
performance of the S&P 500 Composite Stock Index.

FIXED INCOME FUND - This fund invests in marketable fixed income 
securities, as well as a diversified mix of guaranteed investment 
contracts, bank investment contracts, structured investment 
contracts, and separate account contracts issued by high-quality 
companies, to provide stability of principal value, minimal credit 
risk and current income.

INTERNATIONAL STOCK FUND - This fund invests primarily in stocks of 
established growth companies outside the U.S., predominantly in 
Europe, the Far East, Australia, Canada, as well as other areas, to 
provide diversification of an international fund, as well as the 
opportunity for long-term capital growth.

BALANCED FUND - This fund invests in a balanced mix of 
approximately 60% stocks and 40% bonds, to provide long-term growth 
of capital from stocks and current income from bonds.

SMALL-CAP VALUE FUND - This funds invests in stocks of small 
companies believed to be undervalued at the time of purchase and 
have potential for capital growth, to provide long-term capital 
growth.

Changes in the participants' allocations relating to their 
contributions and the allocation of past contributions and earnings 
can be requested at any time.  A participant may also suspend 
contributions or withdraw from the Plan at any time, subject to 
certain restrictions and penalties.  

Vesting

Generally, participating employees become fully vested in Company 
contributions made on their behalf to the Plan after completing 
three years of Plan membership or five years of service.  
Forfeitures reduce contributions otherwise due from the Company. 
Forfeitures for the plan years 1996 and 1995 were $9,504 and 
$3,849, respectively.

Participant Loans

Loans may not exceed the lesser of (1) fifty thousand dollars or 
(2) 50% of the participant's before-tax account balance and the 
vested account balance in the Company Stock Fund.  Each loan must 
be for a minimum of five hundred dollars.  All loans will be repaid 
with interest at a rate that is equal to the prime rate effective 
at the close of business on the last business day of the month 
before the loan is taken.  Such rate remains in effect for the life 
of the loan.  The term of the loan shall not exceed 48 months.  A 
participant may take only one loan per calendar year and only two 
loans will be permitted to be outstanding at any time.

Plan Termination

In the event of termination of the Plan, or if there is a complete 
discontinuance of contributions under the Plan, all rights of 
participants in accumulated investments credited to them become 
fully vested.  If the Plan is terminated by resolution of the 
Warner-Lambert Company Board of Directors, the balance in 
accumulated investments credited to each participant shall be 
distributed to the participant.





NOTE 3 - PUERTO RICO AND TAX STATUS OF THE PLAN:

The Bureau of Income Tax of the Department of the Treasury of the 
Commonwealth of Puerto Rico has ruled that the Plan qualifies under 
section 165(a) of the Income Tax Act of 1954 ("The Act") and is, 
therefore, not subject to tax under present income tax law.  The 
Plan, being exempt under Section 165(a) of the Act is subject to 
the provision of Section 404, which requires the trust to file an 
annual return stating income, receipts, disbursements, and other 
pertinent information.  Further, the Plan has received a 
determination letter advising that the original plan and subsequent 
amendments through October 1, 1993 are qualified under Section 
165(a) of the Puerto Rico Income Tax Act of 1954, as amended, and 
will be treated for purposes of Section 501(a) of the Internal 
Revenue Code as an organization described in Section 401(a) of the 
Internal Revenue Code by reason of Section 1022(i)(1) of the 
Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 ("ERISA"), as 
amended. The Company believes that the Plan is designed and is 
currently being operated with the applicable requirements of the 
IRC.  Therefore no provision for income taxes has been taken.  


NOTE 4 - PLAN ADMINISTRATION:

The Retirement and Savings Plan Committee of the Warner-Lambert 
Company Board of Directors (the "Committee") monitors and reports 
on the selection and termination of trustees and investment 
managers and on the investment activity and performance.  The 
Committee also implements the overall asset allocation guidelines 
as established by the Board of Directors and decides on benefit 
appeals.  The Investment Committee, established by the Warner-
Lambert Company Board of Directors, is responsible for the daily 
administration of the Plan, including oversight of plan 
investments, plan trustees and investment managers.


NOTE 5 - MASTER TRUST FINANCIAL INFORMATION:

At December 31, 1996 and 1995, the Plan has a 1.5% and 1.4% 
interest, respectively, in the Master Trust.  The financial 
statements for the Master Trust are prepared on the modified cash 
basis.  The financial statements for the years ended October 31, 
1996 and 1995 follow.

The Plan's financial statements have been adjusted for November and 
December activity.  All adjustments necessary to reflect the Plan's 
financial statements on an accrual basis have been recorded

                     WARNER-LAMBERT COMPANY
                          MASTER TRUST
                NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

Basis of Financial Statement Presentation

The financial statements of the Warner-Lambert Company Master 
Trust (the "Master Trust") include the assets of the Warner-
Lambert Savings and Stock Plan and the Warner-Lambert Savings and 
Stock Plan for Colleagues in Puerto Rico (collectively the 
"Plans") and are prepared on a modified cash basis of accounting. 
 The Plans are defined contribution profit-sharing-savings plans, 
subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income 
Security Act of 1974 ("ERISA"), as amended.  

The assets of the Plans have been commingled for investment and 
administrative purposes in the Master Trust.  Accordingly, the 
Plans do not own specific Master Trust assets but rather maintain 
an undivided beneficial interest in such assets.  Each Plan's 
interest in the Trust is credited or charged for contributions, 
transfers and distributions.  Realized gains and losses and 
changes in net unrealized appreciation or depreciation on 
investments were allocated to the Plans based upon each Plan's 
beneficial interest in the net assets of the Master Trust.  

Valuation of Investments

Investments in securities traded on a national exchange are 
valued based upon the last published quotations for the last 
business day of the year. Shares of equity funds are valued at 
cost which is equal to market value.  Other government securities 
and short-term investments are valued at market value.  The fully 
benefit-responsive group annuity and investment contracts, the 
principal and interest of which are guaranteed, are valued at 
contract value representing contributions made under the 
contracts, plus interest at the contract rate, less funds 
withdrawn.  Contract value is equal to fair value.  The average 
annual yield and average annual crediting interest rate of these 
investments for the year ended 12/31/96 was 6.13% and 6.43%, 
respectively, and for the year ended 12/31/95 was 6.69%.

Investment Income

Dividend and interest income are recorded by the trustee as 
earned.  Realized gains and losses from the sale of securities 
are accounted for as of the trade date.  In calculating such 
amounts, the cost of investments sold is determined on a basis of 
the moving average acquisition cost.

Expenses

All expenses incurred are borne by the Plans. 


NOTE 2 - TAX STATUS OF THE MASTER TRUST:

The Plans in the Master Trust are intended to be qualified plans 
under Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code, and the Master 
Trust established thereunder is entitled to exemption from 
federal income tax under the provisions of Section 501(a) of the 
Code.  Accordingly, no provision for federal income tax has been 
made.
