PROXY STATEMENT
--------------------------
This Proxy Statement is furnished in connection with the solicitation
by the Board of Directors of Carter-Wallace, Inc. (the "Company") of proxies
for use at the Company's 1994 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the "Meeting") to
be held at the registered office of the Company, 1209 Orange Street,
Wilmington, Delaware 19801, on Tuesday, July 19, 1994 at 1:00 P.M., Eastern
Daylight Time and at any adjournment or adjournments thereof. The date of
mailing of this Proxy Statement and the accompanying proxy is on or about June
20, 1994.
At the Meeting, all shares represented by a properly executed proxy in
the accompanying form (which has not been revoked) will be voted, and, where
instructions are specified, will be voted in accordance with such
specifications. Where instructions are not specified, the shares represented
by such proxy will be voted (a) FOR the election of each of the nominees for
director named in this Proxy Statement, (b) FOR the ratification of the
appointment of KPMG Peat Marwick as independent auditors for the Company, (c)
FOR the amendment to the Company's 1977 Restricted Stock Award Plan and (d)
AGAINST the stockholder proposal to require the Company to furnish the
stockholders each year with a list of certain employees who served in any
governmental capacity in the previous five years and whether such employee was
engaged in any matter which had a direct bearing on the business of the
Company. If any nominee for election as a director should be unable to serve,
which is not presently anticipated, proxies will be voted for a nominee
designated by the Board of Directors. In addition, proxies will be voted in
the discretion of the proxy holders with respect to such other business as may
properly come before the Meeting.
Any proxy may be revoked by a stockholder by a written communication
to the Secretary of the Company delivered prior to or at the Meeting, to the
extent the proxy has not theretofore been voted. Sending in a signed proxy
will not affect a stockholder's right to attend the Meeting and to vote in
person.

The Employees' Retirement Plan of Carter-Wallace, Inc. (the "Retirement
Plan") is a noncontributory defined benefit plan. The Retirement Plan provides
for a pension payable upon retirement at age 65 in an amount calculated on the
basis of the number of years of credited service and the individual's average
salary during the five consecutive highest paid years in the ten year period
immediately preceding the individual's retirement date. Covered compensation
does not include deferred compensation, bonuses or other incentive
compensation. The Retirement Plan permits early retirement and deferred
retirement under specified conditions.
The above table shows the estimated annual benefits payable on retirement
to eligible employees, including officers and directors, under the Retirement
Plan as in effect on March 31, 1994. Amounts shown are based on the
assumptions that the Retirement Plan remains in effect without change, and that
the individual receives a straight life benefit with no reduction to allow for
payment to a surviving spouse, as is permitted by the Retirement Plan:
The above computation of benefits assumes continued employment to age 65
and covered compensation as described above. Amounts shown are before
applicable federal and state income taxes payable by the recipient and are net
of a portion of applicable Social Security benefits received. The portion of
the benefits accrued as of September 30, 1980 is subject to annual
cost-of-living adjustments.
-9-
<PAGE> 12
Current covered remuneration and credited years of service for purposes of the
Retirement Plan for each executive officer named in the Summary Compensation
Table are $889,100 and 31 years for Daniel J. Black, $889,100 and 40 years for
Henry H. Hoyt, Jr., $410,000 and 28 years for Ralph Levine, $410,000 and 17
years for Paul Veteri and $405,000 and 15 years for Herbert Sosman. Amounts
payable under the Retirement Plan may not exceed the limitation imposed by
Section 415 of the Code (currently $118,800, but subject to annual
cost-of-living adjustments, or the individual's average covered compensation
for his three highest paid years, whichever is less) and the amount of credited
compensation which may be taken into account in the computation of pension
benefits may not exceed the amount permitted under Section 401(a)(17) of the
Code (currently $150,000, subject to cost-of-living adjustments). Amounts
shown above include benefits in excess of such limitations that are payable
under the Executive Pension Benefits Plan (the "Executive Plan") described
below.
The Executive Plan is an unfunded plan which provides for the payment of
vested pension benefits, which would otherwise be payable under the Retirement
Plan but for the limitations of Sections 415 and 401(a)(17) of the Code, and
which mitigates the reduction in retirement benefits of corporate officers who
elect early retirement. Individuals whose pension benefits are limited under
Section 415(b) of the Code as of April 1, 1990 and who retire at or after age
65 or die while actively employed by the Company will receive supplemental
pension or spousal death benefits under the Executive Plan based on covered
compensation of up to $850,000, including bonus income, if the amount of such
benefits is greater than the amount which would otherwise be provided under the
preceding sentence. Covered compensation for purposes of the supplemental plan
for each of Henry H. Hoyt, Jr. and Daniel J. Black would, under the above
assumptions, be $850,000.
EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENTS
The Company has entered into employment agreements with Mr. Black, Mr.
Sosman, Mr. Levine and Mr. Veteri.
Mr. Black's employment agreement, as amended from time to time, provides
for his employment initially as President and Chief Operating Officer of the
Company at a salary of not less than $978,000 per year for a period commencing
April 24, 1992 and continuing for a period of five (5) years from December 31st
of any year in which the Board of Directors desires to terminate Mr. Black's
agreement, and requires the Company to pay the premium on a $500,000 insurance
policy on Mr. Black's life and certain federal, state and city income taxes on
such premium amount and taxes. The employment agreement provides for the
Company to use its best efforts to cause Mr. Black to be elected a director of
the Company.
Mr. Sosman's employment agreement provides for his employment as a Vice
President of the Company and President of the Company's Wallace Laboratories
Division at a salary of $347,200 per year and a bonus to be determined under
the Company's Profit Sharing Plan for a five-year period commencing October 31,
1987, which has been extended by the Company for an additional five year
period.
Mr. Levine's employment agreement provides for his employment as Vice
President, Secretary and General Counsel of the Company for a period commencing
April 10, 1992 and terminating July 2, 2001. Mr. Veteri's employment agreement
provides for his employment as Vice President, Finance of the Company for a
period commencing April 10, 1992 and continuing for a period of five years from
April 1st of any year in which the Board of Directors desires to terminate Mr.
Veteri's agreement. The cash compensation received by Mr. Levine and Mr.
Veteri pursuant to the employment agreements is included in the amounts
disclosed in the Summary Compensation Table.

COMPENSATION OF DIRECTORS
Directors, other than those who are salaried employees of the Company,
received an annual fee of $35,000 for serving on the Board of Directors and a
fee of $500 for each meeting of the Audit Committee that they attended, but did
not receive a fee for attendance at meetings of the Board of Directors or
meetings of any committee other than the Audit Committee. Directors who are
salaried employees of the Company received a fee of $250 for each meeting of
the Board of Directors that they attended.
COMPENSATION COMMITTEE INTERLOCKS AND INSIDER PARTICIPATION
During the fiscal year ended March 31, 1994, the Compensation Committee of
the Board of Directors of the Company consisted of Richard L. Cruess, M.D.,
Chairman, Herbert M. Rinaldi and David M. Baldwin. None of such persons was,
during such fiscal year or formerly, an officer of the Company or any of its
subsidiaries or had any relationship with the Company other than serving as a
director of the Company. In addition, during the fiscal year ended March 31,
1994, no executive officer of the Company served as a director or a member of
the compensation committee of another entity, one of whose executive officers
served as a Director or on the Compensation Committee of the Company.
REPORT ON EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION
General
The Company's Compensation Committee, consisting of Messrs. Baldwin, Cruess
and Rinaldi, non-employee Directors of the Company, approves of all policies
governing the compensation of, and the amounts of compensation for, the
company's Chief Executive Officer and its President and Chief Operating
Officer. The form and amount of compensation of the Company's Chief Executive
Officer and its President is then approved by the entire Board of Directors
upon the recommendation of the Compensation Committee. The specific
compensation of all other executive officers is recommended to the Board for
its determination by the Company's Executive Committee. To that extent, this
report of the Compensation Committee is also a report by the entire Board of
Directors.
The company's compensation program for its executive officers consists
of the following significant components: annually determined salary; annually
determined bonus payments pursuant to the Company's Profit Sharing Plan; and
periodic grants of restricted stock units. The elements of the Company's
compensation are designed with different purposes in mind. Salary and bonus
payments are primarily intended to compensate for current and past performance.
The restricted stock units are awarded in an effort to provide a strong
incentive for outstanding long term performance, and are forfeitable generally
if the executive holding the units leaves the Company prior to five years from
the date on which the restricted stock units were awarded or if such executive
is terminated for cause. The awards of restricted stock units are directly
tied to the interests of the Company's shareholders inasmuch as the value of
the awards will increase or decrease based upon the future price of the
Company's stock.
In determining the amount and the form of the executive compensation
package for 1993, the Compensation Committee and the Board (hereinafter
referred to as the "Committee") considered the Company's overall performance
over a number of years rather than considering any single year. The Committee
also considered the objectives the Company desires to achieve in the future as
well as the challenges with which the Company would be confronted. Given this
overall view, the Committee did consider several specific factors. They
included continued efforts to develop and market new drugs, continued efforts
to license the Company's products to others and continued efforts to upgrade
the Company's management of its inventory and thus improve the Company's
working capital and cash
-11-
<PAGE> 14
flow. In addition, the Committee also reviewed the results of surveys of
compensation information for major pharmaceutical and consumer products
companies which include information for all of the companies comprising the
peer group index appearing on the Performance Graph in this Proxy Statement.
These surveys indicate that the salary levels generally corresponded to the
upper quartile of such competitive data when compared to positions of
comparable scope and responsibility. However, in making the compensation
determination, no specific weight was given to any one factor. Therefore, the
compensation determination may be deemed to be subjective.
Chief Executive Officer Compensation
The compensation of Henry H. Hoyt, Jr., the Company's Chief Executive
Officer, in 1993 consisted of salary and bonus payments. In determining Mr.
Hoyt's 1993 compensation, the Committee continued its practice of prior years
of granting a merit increase in annual salary of 10% for members of the
Company's Executive Committee, which includes Mr. Hoyt. The merit increase
philosophy is to set consistent increases in compensation which will retain
superior executives over a period of years, rather than have fluctuating
increases varying with the annual performance of the Company.
The Company believes it has had and continues to have an appropriate
compensation program. Base salaries, adjusted in accordance with the Company's
merit increase philosophy, together with short-term bonus orientation and
emphasis on long-term equity-based incentives constitutes the crucial elements
of the Company's compensation policy.

TAX DEDUCTION CONSIDERATIONS
The Compensation Committee has reviewed the Company's compensation plans
with respect to the deduction limitation under the Omnibus Budget
Reconciliation Act of 1993. Since the particular requirements of the Act
applicable to elements of the Company's compensation plans have not yet been
definitively determined and since the Committee believes that the requirements
of the Act might effectively divest the Committee of the ability to exercise
its discretion to act in the best interests of the stockholders in establishing
compensation, the Compensation Committee has decided for the present not to
alter the Company's compensation plans to attempt to meet the deductibility
requirements. The Compensation Committee will revisit this issue and evaluate
whether the compensation plans should be altered in the future to meet the
deductibility requirements.

RATIFICATION OF APPOINTMENT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS
The Board of Directors will recommend at the Meeting that a resolution be
adopted approving and ratifying the appointment by the Board of Directors of
the firm of KPMG Peat Marwick to audit the financial statements of the Company
and its subsidiaries for the current fiscal year. If the stockholders do not
approve and ratify the appointment of KPMG Peat Marwick as independent
auditors, the Board of Directors will consider the selection of another
accounting firm. A representative of KPMG Peat Marwick is expected to be
present at the Meeting, to have an opportunity to make a statement if he
desires to do so and to be available to answer any questions relating to their
audit of the financial statements of the Company for the fiscal year ended
March 31, 1994. The fees paid by the Company and its subsidiaries for auditing
services to this firm were approximately $699,000 for the fiscal year ended
March 31, 1994. See "BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND COMMITTEES" for information
concerning the Company's Audit Committee.

AMENDMENT OF RESTRICTED STOCK AWARD PLAN
The Board of Directors recommends that stockholders vote in favor of the
proposal to amend the Company's 1977 Restricted Stock Award Plan (the "Plan")
to increase the number of shares of Common Stock of the Company covered by the
Plan by 2,000,000 additional shares.
If the holders of a majority of the shares of the Company entitled to
vote at the Meeting is not obtained, the proposed amendment will not be
adopted.
Information with respect to awards of shares of Common Stock of the
Company granted under the Plan is set forth above under "EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION
AND OTHER INFORMATION." Adoption of the proposed amendment will not alter the
number of shares of Common Stock previously awarded under the Plan.
As originally approved at the 1978 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, the
Plan authorized the grant of awards to key employees of the Company and its
subsidiaries with respect to 250,000 shares of Common Stock. An additional
500,000 shares were made available for awards under the Plan by amendments to
the Plan in 1980 and 1985. The maximum number of shares that may now be
awarded under the Plan is 750,000 shares of Common Stock of which 176,032
shares of Common Stock remain available for future awards. Award shares are
subject to adjustment to reflect any stock split, stock dividend,
recapitalization or other similar event. As of June 1, 1994, awards of an
aggregate of 135,819 shares of Common Stock and commitments to make awards of
an additional 661,688 shares have been made.
The Board of Directors deems it desirable to have additional shares of
Common Stock available to be used as awards under the Plan to individuals who
become key employees in the future, through promotions and acquisitions of
other companies as well as to persons who are now key employees and may have
already been granted awards under the Plan. The Company believes that the
grant of awards is necessary in order to retain and attract personnel for
positions of substantial responsibility and to provide additional incentive to
such personnel by offering them a greater interest in the Company's continued
success.
SUMMARY AND EFFECT OF THE PLAN
If the proposed amendment is adopted, the basic provisions and effect of
the Plan would be as described below.
The Plan provides for awards of shares of Common Stock of the Company to
key employees of the Company and its subsidiaries. Awards are made by a
committee of three directors of the Company (the "Committee"), none of whom may
receive awards. The present Committee consists of David M. Baldwin, Richard L.
Cruess, M.D. and Herbert Rinaldi, none of whom may receive awards. Only
authorized shares previously issued and reacquired by the Company may be
awarded under the Plan. Certificates representing shares of Common Stock
awarded under the Plan may be delivered either at a specified future date or
dates or immediately after the award.
Stock awarded may not be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged,
hypothecated or otherwise disposed of for a period of five years from the date
of the award. The recipient of an award must remain in the employ of the
Company for five years or forfeit all his rights in the stock comprising such
award, unless earlier termination of employment results from disability,
mandatory retirement, termination by the Company without cause, or death. In
the event of the retirement of a recipient at the age of at least 65 years, or
at such other age as the Committee, which administers the Plan, may from time
to time in any particular case or, generally, determine, and before the end of
a five-year period from the date of the award, (i) restrictions on resale and
disposition shall lapse and (ii) Award
-14-
<PAGE> 17
Stock which has not been delivered to such recipient shall be delivered, as to
such number of shares as shall be determined by multiplying the total number of
shares of Award Stock by a fraction, the numerator of which is equal to the
number of days from the date of the award to the date of retirement, and the
denominator of which is 1,825. The Company has the right to impose
limitations, in the event of retirement, with respect to post-retirement
employment of the recipient.
Any cash dividends on Common Stock awarded under the Plan is held by the
Company for the benefit of the recipient, subject to the same forfeiture
provisions as the award. Such dividends, without any interest thereon, is paid
to the recipient of the award upon the lapse of such restrictions.
Subject to the provisions of the Plan, the Committee determines
restrictions or conditions to be imposed upon the awards, specifies the time of
delivery of the Award Stock, and prescribes the form and substance of
agreements with respect to the awards to be entered into between the Company
and each recipient of an award.
The Company's Board of Directors may amend the Plan, provided that no
amendment which (i) increases the aggregate number of shares which may be
awarded under the Plan, or (ii) materially increases the benefits accruing
under the Plan, or (iii) materially modifies the requirements for participation
shall be effective without stockholder approval.
The Board of Directors may suspend or terminate the Plan at any time.
The Plan also terminates upon issuance of the maximum number of shares to be
issued under the Plan and the expiration of the restrictions of such shares.
Officers, currently 17 in number, which includes directors who are
full-time employees of the Company, of whom there are 4, and other key
employees of the Company and of its subsidiaries including Messrs. Henry H.
Hoyt, Jr., Daniel J. Black, Ralph Levine, Paul A. Veteri and Herbert Sosman,
are eligible for awards.
During the fiscal year ended March 31, 1994, as permitted by the Plan,
the Company did not repurchase any shares of Common Stock of the Company as to
which restrictions imposed under the Restricted Stock Award Plan had lapsed.
During the fiscal year ended March 31, 1994, shares were awarded to officers of
the Company under the Restricted Stock Award Plan. Pursuant to the 3 for 1
stock split that was effective as of April 27, 1992, each award granted under
the 1977 Restricted Stock Award Plan, as amended, prior to April 27, 1992, was
adjusted so that the holders of such awards became entitled to receive two
shares of Common Stock for each share of Award Stock held by them prior to
April 27, 1992.
The Board of Directors believes that the Proposal is in the best
interests of the Company and its stockholders.
MANAGEMENT RECOMMENDS A VOTE "FOR" THIS RESOLUTION. PROXIES SOLICITED
BY THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS WILL BE SO VOTED UNLESS STOCKHOLDERS SPECIFY A
CONTRARY VOTE.
STOCKHOLDER PROPOSAL
STOCKHOLDER PROPOSAL WITH RESPECT TO DISCLOSURES OF CERTAIN EMPLOYEES
PREVIOUSLY EMPLOYED IN GOVERNMENTAL CAPACITIES.
Mrs. Evelyn Y. Davis, Watergate Office Building, 2600 Virginia Avenue,
N.W., Suite 215, Washington, D.C. 20037, who is the owner of record of 300
shares of Common Stock, has given notice that she intends to present the
following resolution at the Meeting:
-15-
<PAGE> 18
RESOLVED: "That the stockholders of Carter-Wallace assembled in Annual
Meeting in person and by proxy hereby request the Board of Directors to
have the Company furnish the stockholders each year with a list of people
employed by the Corporation with the rank of Vice President or above, or as
a consultant, or as a lobbyist, or as legal counsel or investment banker or
director, who, in the previous five years have served in any governmental
capacity, whether Federal, City or State, or as a staff member of any
CONGRESSIONAL COMMITTEE or regulatory agency, and to disclose to the
stockholders whether such person was engaged in any matter which had a
direct bearing on the business of the Corporation and/or its subsidiaries,
provided that information directly affecting the competitive position of
the Corporation may be omitted."
REASONS: "Full disclosure on these matters is essential at
Carter-Wallace because of its many dealings with Federal and State
agencies, and because of pending issues forthcoming in Congress and/or
State and Regulatory Agencies."
"If you AGREE, please mark your proxy FOR this resolution."
The Board of Directors recommends a vote "AGAINST" the adoption of this
resolution for the following reasons:
From time to time the Company employs people who have been previously
employed in governmental capacities. Hiring decisions are made on the
basis of the professional competence of the prospective employee. The
Company is sensitive to the possibility of conflicts of interest in the
hiring of former government employees but does not believe that, absent
such conflicts, government employment alone should bar employment of the
individual by the Company.
The Company is equally sensitive to conflicts of interest in its selection
of law firms and outside consultants in the course of its business. The
Company engages such entities on the basis of their professional competence
and does not believe that the presence of a former government employee at
such a firm, absent conflicts of interest, should prevent the Company from
taking advantage of the benefits of engaging such a firm.
The compilation and distribution of the information requested by this
proposal would, in the opinion of the Board of Directors, involve an
unnecessary burden and expense and serve no useful purpose.
The affirmative vote of a majority of the votes present, in person or by
proxy, at the Meeting is required to approve the above-described proposal.
Abstentions and broker non-votes will have the same effect as a negative vote
with respect to this matter.
PROXIES SOLICITED BY THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS WILL BE VOTED AGAINST THE
RESOLUTION UNLESS STOCKHOLDERS SPECIFY A CONTRARY VOTE.
OTHER BUSINESS
It is not intended to present to the Meeting any business other than the
election of directors and the proposals referred to above. The Board of
Directors is not aware of any other matters which may be presented for action
at the Meeting. If any other matters should be presented, the persons named as
proxies will vote on such matters in accordance with their best judgment.
STOCKHOLDER PROPOSALS
