               REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS

May 30, 1997

To the Participants and Administrator of
 the Warner-Lambert Savings and Stock Plan

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 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
                 NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

The financial statements of the Warner-Lambert Savings and Stock 
Plan (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 for Colleagues in 
Puerto Rico (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 and its domestic affiliates and 
subsidiary companies 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.  Prior to October 1, 1996, participants were able to 
invest in the following seven funds: Warner-Lambert Company Stock 
Fund, Warner-Lambert Colleague Stock Fund, S&P 500 Fund, Fixed 
Income Fund, Balanced Fund, Small-Cap Value Fund and 
International Stock Fund.  As of October 1, 1996, seventeen 
additional investment options were added.  For financial 
presentation purposes, some of the funds below have been 
combined, based on their investment objectives.  A description of 
all investment options 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.

companies believed to be undervalued at the time of purchase and 
have potential for capital growth, to provide long-term capital 
growth.

areas, to provide the diversification of an international fund,

operating histories, to provide long-term capital growth.

established European companies which seek to benefit from

and potential new markets in Eastern Europe, to provide the 
diversification of an international fund as well as the 
opportunity for long-term capital growth.

or undervalued companies traded in the over-the-counter market, 
to provide long-term capital growth using a combined growth and 
value approach.

companies in the developing markets of Latin America, the Far 
East, Europe and Africa, to provide a high level of long-term 
capital growth.

portfolio of stocks of 30 to 50 U.S. companies, with a flexible 
investment strategy that allows for both growth and value of 
small, medium-sized, and large companies, to provide a high level 
of long-term capital growth.

Health Sciences Fund - This fund invests primarily in the common 
stocks of companies engaged in the research, development, 
production, or distribution of health-related products and 
services, to provide long-term capital growth.

New America Growth Fund - This fund invests primarily in the 
common stocks of U.S. companies in service industries, such as 
health care, financial services and food services, to provide 
long-term capital growth.

New Horizons Fund - This fund invests in common stocks of small, 
rapidly growing companies in a broad range of industries, early 
in the corporate life cycle, to provide long-term capital growth.

Science & Technology Fund - This fund invests in common stocks of

Rowe Price funds, including five U.S. stock funds, an 
international stock fund and a money market fund, to provide 
long-term growth of capital and income from a managed mix of 
funds.

Personal Strategy Income Fund - This fund invests in a 
diversified mix of approximately 40% stocks, 40% bonds and 20% 
money market securities, to provide the highest total return over 
time consistent with a primary emphasis on income (bonds) and a 
secondary emphasis on capital appreciation(stocks).

Personal Strategy Growth Fund - This fund invests in a 
diversified mix of approximately 80% stocks and 20% bonds and 
money market securities, to provide the highest total return over 
time consistent with a primary emphasis on capital appreciation 
and a secondary emphasis on income.

COMBINED INCOME FUNDS

New Income Fund - This fund invests in U.S. Treasury securities, 
corporate bonds, and bank obligations with medium to long-term 
maturity dates, to provide a high level of income over the long 
term consistent with preservation of capital.

High Yield Fund - This fund invests primarily in longer-term, 
lower-quality corporate ("junk") bonds that have an average 
maturity of approximately 10 years, primarily to provide a high 
level of income and, secondarily, 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 $144,526 and 
$161,540, respectively.

Participant Loans

Loans may not exceed the lesser of (1) fifty thousand dollars or 
(2) 50% of the participant's before-tax balance.  Each loan must 
be for a minimum of one thousand 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 first business day of 
the quarter in which 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 year 
and only two loans will be permitted to be outstanding at any 
time.  Participants may borrow from both the before-tax account 
balance and the vested account balance in the Company Stock Fund.

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 - TAX STATUS OF THE PLAN:

The Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") issued a favorable 
determination letter to the Plan, dated September 20, 1995, 
indicating that the Plan documentation as reviewed by the IRS 
satisfied the requirements of Section 401(a) of the Internal 
Revenue Code. The Company believes that the Plan is designed and 
is currently being operated in compliance with the applicable 
requirements of the IRC.  Accordingly, no provision has been made 
for federal income taxes.  


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 98.5% and 98.6% 
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.
