                    Notes to Unaudited Financial Statements


1.   The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements
     have been prepared in accordance with Rule 10-01 of SEC
     Regulation S-X.  Consequently, they do not include all the
     disclosures required under generally accepted accounting
     principles for complete financial statements.  However, in
     the opinion of the management of Chemed Corporation (the
     "Company"), the financial statements presented herein contain
     all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring
     adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial
     position, results of operations and cash flows of the Company
     and its consolidated subsidiaries ("Chemed").  For further
     information regarding Chemed's accounting policies, refer to
     the consolidated financial statements and notes included in
     Chemed's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
     December 31, 1994.

2.   Earnings per common share are computed using the weighted
     average number of shares of capital stock outstanding and
     exclude the dilutive effect of outstanding stock options as
     it is not material.

4.   During the second quarter of 1995, the Company's Veratex
     Group acquired the business and assets of the CSD Medical
     Division ("CSDM") of Central States Diversified Inc. for
     $7,650,000 in cash.  CSDM is a manufacturer and distributor
     of disposable paper products marketed under the ProTexMor
     brand. The results of operations of CSDM are immaterial to
     the consolidated results of the Company.

5.   In July 1995 the Company's Tidi Products Group (formerly
     Veratex Group) completed the sale of the business and assets
     of its Veratex Retail division to Henry Schein Inc. ("HSI")
     for $10 million in cash plus a $4.1 million note receivable
     due March 31, 1996.  An additional payment of up to $2
     million dollars, contingent upon the combined sales of
     Veratex Retail and HSI's retail group for the year ended
     July 7, 1996, may be due from HSI in 1996.

     This divestiture will permit the Tidi Products Group to focus
     its efforts on its wholesale manufacturing and distribution
     operation.  Additionally, the divestiture agreement
     stipulates that HSI will purchase annual minimum quantities
     of medical and dental supplies from Tidi for the next ten
     years.

     The sale of Veratex Retail and resultant modest gain are not
     expected to have a material impact on Chemed's results for
     the year.

6.   Nonrecurring expenses amounting to $538,000 pretax ($355,000
     aftertax; $208,000 after minority interest or $.02 per share)
     were incurred by Roto-Rooter in the third quarter of 1995 in
     evaluating Chemed's proposal to acquire the 42% minority
     interest in Roto-Rooter common stock.  The proposal was
     withdrawn in August 1995.  Also, during the third quarter of
     1994, the Company recorded $1,705,000 pretax expenses
     ($1,107,000 aftertax or $.11 per share) as the result of
     downsizing staffs at various locations and refocussing
     marketing efforts within its Tidi Product's Group.

                 Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis
               of Financial Condition and Results of Operations


Financial Condition
- -------------------

            The increase in cash and marketable securities from
$24,239,000 at  December 31, 1994 to $34,172,000 was attributable
to the reclassification of a U.S. Treasury Note maturing in
January 1996 ($9,618,000) to current assets (marketable
securities).  The increase in current portion of notes receivable
from $5,740,000 at December 31, 1994 to $9,773,000 at
September 30, 1995 is attributable to the note receivable from
Henry Shein, Inc. (due March 1996) received from the sale of the
Veratex Retail division in July 1995.

            Other investments increased from $85,073,000 at
December 31, 1994 to $92,578,000 primarily as a result of market
appreciation of the Company's investments during the first nine
months of 1995, partially offset by the above mentioned
reclassification of a U.S. Treasury note to current assets.

            The decline in the noncurrent note receivable from
$5,455,000 at December 31, 1994 to nil at September 30, 1995 is
due to the reclassification of the last installment of a five-
year note (due April 1, 1996) to current assets.

            At September 30, 1995 Chemed had approximately
$38,125,000 of unused lines of credit with various banks.  Based
on the Company's current financial position and its available
credit lines, management believes its sources of capital and
liquidity are satisfactory for the Company's needs in the
foreseeable future.

Third Quarter 1995 Versus Third Quarter 1994
- ----------------------------------------------

            Net sales of the National Sanitary Supply segment for
the third quarter of 1995 totaled $89,396,000, an increase of 10%
over sales recorded during the third quarter of 1994.  Most
locations throughout the United States experienced sales volume
increases resulting from enhanced sales and marketing efforts
such as a full-line product catalog and promotional programs. 
Price increases also helped fuel sales growth during the third
quarter.  The operating margin of this segment improved from 3.9%
during the third quarter of 1994 to 4.3% during the third quarter
of 1995.

            Sales and service revenues of the Roto-Rooter segment
for the third quarter of 1995 totaled $45,280,000, an increase of
5% over the $43,057,000 of revenues recorded for the third
quarter of 1994.  For the third quarter of 1995, plumbing
revenues, which account for approximately one-fourth of total
revenues, and sewer and drain cleaning revenues, which account
for approximately one-third, increased 20% and 9%,respectively,
over amounts recorded in the comparable quarter of 1994. 
Revenues of Roto-Rooter's service contract business (Service
America) for the third quarter of 1995, which account for
approximately one-third of this segment's total revenue, declined
8% as compared with revenues recorded in the third quarter of
1994.  Excluding the sales of the maintenance and management
subsidiary, which was sold effective March 31, 1995, Service
America's revenues for the third quarter of 1995 were 2% greater
than revenues of the third quarter of 1994.  The sale of this
marginal business permits management to focus its efforts on the
core appliance and air conditioning repair and maintenance
business.  The operating margin of the Roto-Rooter segment
declined from 9.8% during the third quarter of 1994 to 8.0%
during the third quarter of 1995 largely as a result of
nonrecurring costs ($538,000) incurred by Roto-Rooter in
evaluating Chemed's proposal to acquire the 42% minority interest
in Roto-Rooter (the proposal was withdrawn in August 1995).  In
addition, Roto-Rooter's operating margin was impacted by
declining margins of Service America, as a result of a higher-
than-expected number of service calls in the third quarter of
1995.

            Sales of the Tidi Products segment (formerly the
Veratex segment) declined from $24,068,000 during the third
quarter of 1994 to $19,501,000 during the third quarter of 1995,
primarily as a result of the sale of the retail division in July
1995.  Excluding the sales of the retail division, and of Central
States Diversified (acquired in May 1995), the sales of Tidi
Products for 1995's third quarter increased 14% over sales
recorded in the third quarter of 1994.  The operating margin of 

                                 Page 10 of 16<PAGE>
this segment increased from 3.0% in the third quarter of 1994 to
8.0% in the third quarter of 1995.  Excluding nonrecurring
marketing and severance costs incurred in 1994, the operating
margin during the third quarter of 1994 would have been 5.7%. 
The operating margin for 1995 was also favorably impacted by the
Central States acquisition and the higher profit margins of the
remaining wholesale and manufacturing business.

            Total revenues of the Patient Care segment increased
from $17,732,000 in the third quarter of 1994 to $23,377,000 in
the third quarter of 1995.  This 32% revenue increase is
attributable to the opening of several new branches in 1994 and
the first part of 1995.  As a result of the significant revenue
growth, Patient Care was able to leverage its fixed costs and
improve its operating margin from 4.1% during the third quarter
of 1994 to 5.6% during the third quarter of 1995.  

            Income from operations increased from $6,348,000 in the
third quarter of 1994 to $8,681,000 during the third quarter of
1995, primarily as a result of increases in operating profit
reported by National Sanitary Supply, Tidi Products and Patient
Care.  In addition, the increase in income from operations was
aided by a lower level of nonrecurring expenses in the third
quarter of 1995 ($538,000) as compared with such charges in the
third quarter of 1994 ($1,705,000 for costs of downsizing staffs
at various locations and refocusing marketing efforts within Tidi
Products).

            Other income for the third quarter of 1995 totalled
$4,775,000 as compared with $2,640,000 for the third quarter of
1994.  This increase was attributable to larger gains on sales of
investments in the 1995 quarter coupled with increased interest
income due to larger balances of cash, cash equivalents and
marketable securities during 1995.

            During the third quarter of 1995 the Company's
effective income tax rate was 38.6% as compared with 34.2% during
the comparable period of 1994.  The higher rate in 1995 was
attributable primarily to lower favorable tax adjustments and
E.S.O.P. dividend tax credits (as a percentage of pretax income)
in the 1995 period.

            Chemed's income from continuing operations increased
from $3,210,000 ($.33 per share) during the third quarter of 1994
to $5,708,000 ($.58 per share) during the third quarter of 1995. 
Earnings for the third quarter of 1995 include aftertax gains
aggregating $1,561,000 ($.16 per share) from the sale of various
investments and Chemed's share of Roto-Rooter's nonrecurring
expenses ($208,000 after income taxes and minority interest--$.02
per share).  During the third quarter of 1994 the Company
recorded aftertax gains of $735,000 ($.08 per share) from the 

                                 Page 11 of 16<PAGE>
sale of a portion of its investments and nonrecurring expenses of
$1,107,000 aftertax ($.11 per share).                      

            Net income for 1995's third quarter totalled $7,550,000
($.77 per share) as compared with $5,094,000 ($.52 per share) for
the third quarter of 1994.  Discontinued operations for the third
quarter of 1995 included a $1,842,000 ($.19 per share) adjustment
to the tax provision on the gain on the sale of operations
discontinued in 1991.  For the third quarter of 1994,
discontinued operations amounted to $1,884,000 aftertax ($.19 per
share) and included $1,471,000 from adjustments to accruals
related to operations discontinued in 1991 and $413,000 equity
earnings from Omnicare, Inc. ("Omnicare"), an equity investment
discontinued in November 1994.

Nine Months Ended September 30, 1995 Versus September 30, 1994
- --------------------------------------------------------------

            The National Sanitary Supply segment recorded sales of
$255,760,000 during the first nine months of 1995, an increase of
11% over amounts recorded in the comparable period of 1994. 
Sales increases were recorded in most areas of the country and
were the result of both sales price and sales volume increases in
1995.  National Sanitary's operating margin increased from 3.1%
during the first nine months of 1994 to 3.4% during the
comparable period of 1995.

            Sales and service revenues of the Roto-Rooter segment
for the first nine months of 1995 increased by 5% as compared
with amounts recorded during the first nine months of 1994.  This
modest sales growth was attributable to an 8% decline in the
revenues of Roto-Rooter's service contract business (Service
America) coupled with revenue increases of 11% and 16%,
respectively, in Roto-Rooter's sewer, drain cleaning and plumbing
repair business for the 1995 period.  The decline in Service
America's revenues during 1995 is primarily attributable to the
sale of the management and maintenance business during the first
quarter of 1995.  Roto-Rooter's operating margin declined from
8.9% during the first nine months of 1994 to 8.5% during the
first nine months of 1995.  Excluding $538,000 of nonrecurring
expenses, the operating margin for the first nine months of 1995
would have been 8.9%.

            Sales of the Tidi Products segment declined from
$72,965,000 in the first nine months of 1994 to $70,202,000 in
the first nine months of 1995.  Excluding the sales of the retail
division (sold in July 1995) and of Central States Diversified
(acquired in May 1995), this segment's sales for the first nine
months of 1995 increased 14% versus sales recorded during the 
comparable period of 1994.  The operating margin of this segment
improved from 5.6% in the first nine months to 6.4% in the first

                                 Page 12 of 16<PAGE>
nine months of 1995, largely as a result of nonrecurring
severance and marketing costs incurred in 1994.

            The Patient Care segment recorded sales of $66,516,000
during the first nine months of 1995, an increase of 32% over the
$50,417,000 recorded in the first nine months of 1994.  As a
result, the operating profit margin of this segment improved from
3.5% during the first nine months of 1994 to 5.0% during the
first nine months of 1995, primarily as a result of branch
openings during the latter part of 1994 and the first part of
1995.

            Income from operations increased from $18,597,000 in
the first nine months of 1994 to $23,228,000 during the
comparable period of 1995.  This increase was primarily
attributable to increases in the operating profit reported by
National Sanitary Supply and Patient Care during the 1995 nine-
month period.  Additionally, this increase was aided by a lower
level of nonrecurring expenses incurred in the 1995 period versus
those recorded in 1994.

            Other income for the first nine months of 1995 totalled
$15,151,000 as compared with $9,927,000 for the first nine months
of 1994.  The increase during the 1995 period was primarily
attributable to larger gains on the sales of investments during
the 1995 period, coupled with increased interest income in 1995. 

            The Company's effective income tax rate increased from
37.1% during the first nine months of 1994 to 38.1% during the
comparable period of 1995, primarily as a result of larger
favorable tax adjustments in the 1994 period.

            Chemed's income from continuing operations increased
from $10,875,000 ($1.10 per share) during the first nine months
of 1994 to $16,398,000 ($1.66 per share) during the first nine
months of 1995.  Earnings for the periods included aftertax gains
from sales of investments of $5,882,000, or $.59 per share, and
$3,298,000, or $.33 per share, in 1995 and 1994, respectively. 
In addition, nonrecurring charges of $208,000 after income taxes
and minority interest ($.02 per share) were recorded in 1995 and
nonrecurring charges of $1,107,000 ($.11 per share) were recorded
in 1994.

            Net income for the first nine months of 1995 totalled
$19,141,000 ($1.94 per share) as compared with $18,788,000 ($1.91
per share) for the first nine months of 1994.  Net income for the
first nine months of 1995 and 1994 include favorable adjustments
relative to discontinued operations amounting to $2,743,000 and 
$3,807,000, respectively.  In addition, income from discontinued
operations for the 1994 period included equity earnings from
Omnicare Inc. and gains on the sale of Omnicare stock.
