and related notes as contained in the Annual Report on Form 10-K
for the fiscal year ended January 1, 1995. The interim financial
statements include all adjustments (consisting only of normal
recurring adjustments) and accruals necessary in the judgment of
management for a fair presentation of such statements.  Earnings
per share were calculated on the basis of the average number of
shares of common stock outstanding during the applicable period.
     In March 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (SFAS) No. 121,
"Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and Long-Lived
Assets to be Disposed of."  The new statement will be adopted in
1996 and management is currently assessing its effect on the
Company's results of operations, cash flows and financial position.
     In October 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board
issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 123,
"Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation".  The new statement
requires companies to measure employee stock compensation plans
based on the fair value method of accounting.  However, the
statement allows the alternative of continued use of Accounting
Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued
to Employees".  If this alternative is used, then pro forma
disclosure of net income and earnings per share determined as if
the fair value based method had been applied in measuring
compensation cost must be disclosed.  The Company will continue to
apply the intrinsic value based method of accounting for stock
based compensation agreements as per APB Opinion No. 25, with pro
forma disclosures.

NOTE 2 - INCOME TAXES
The effective income tax rates for 1995 and 1994 are as follows:
                                     1995          1994
   First Quarter                     29.0%         26.1%
   First Half                        29.0          26.4
   Nine Months                       28.9          26.4

 The effective income tax rates for the nine months of 1995 and
1994 are 28.9% and 26.4%, respectively, as compared to the U.S. 
federal statutory rate of 35%.  The major reason for this
difference is the result of domestic subsidiaries operating in
Puerto Rico under a grant for tax relief expiring December 31, 2007
and subsidiaries manufacturing in Ireland under an incentive tax 
rate expiring on December 31, 2010.  The increase in the 1995
worldwide effective tax rate was primarily due to an increase in
income subject to tax in the U.S.  The Omnibus Budget
Reconciliation Act of 1993 includes a change in the tax code which
will reduce the benefit the Company receives from its operations in
Puerto Rico by 60% gradually over a five-year period.

The excess of the cost over the fair value of net assets of
purchased businesses is recorded as goodwill and is amortized on a
straight-line basis over periods of 40 years or less.  The cost of
other acquired intangibles is amortized on a straight-line basis
over their estimated useful lives.  The increase in intangible
assets is primarily due to the acquisitions referred to in Note 6.

NOTE 6 - ACQUISITIONS AND DIVESTITURES

  During the second quarter, Johnson & Johnson completed the
acquisitions of Mitek Surgical Products, Inc., Menlo Care, Inc.,
and Joint Medical Products, Inc.  Mitek Surgical Products, Inc. is
a developer and manufacturer of suture anchor products marketed for
soft tissue reattachment.  Menlo Care, Inc. manufactures and
markets a line of  vascular access products to hospital and home
health care professionals.  Joint Medical Products sells both hip
and knee joint reconstruction products in the U.S. and
international orthopaedic markets.  During the third quarter,
Johnson & Johnson completed the acquisition of Gyno-Pharma, Inc.,
which has exclusive licensing and marketing rights to the PARAGARD
T380A (intrauterine device, or IUD) in the United States.  The
aggregate purchase price for these acquisitions was $400 million. 
Pro forma results of the acquisitions, assuming that the
transactions were consummated at the beginning of each year
presented, would not be materially different from the results 
reported.


                                  - 11 -<PAGE>

     On March 31, 1995, the Company sold IOLAB's worldwide
ophthalmic surgical business to Chiron Vision, a division of Chiron
Corporation.  This transaction, together with the sale last year of
IOLAB's ophthalmic pharmaceutical business furthers the Company's
ability to focus resources on other business areas that provide
greater opportunities for continued  growth and profitability.
     On March 15, 1995, the Company divested Johnson & Johnson
Advanced Materials Company and Chicopee B.V., Netherlands,
worldwide developers and marketers of non-woven materials used in
a broad range of health care, consumer and industrial applications.
  These divestitures resulted in an after-tax capital gain of $103
million, which was offset by write-offs of certain assets in
connection with reengineering programs.   
NOTE 7 - SUBSEQUENT EVENT

     On November 13, 1995, Johnson & Johnson and Cordis Corporation
announced that they have signed a definitive merger agreement for
a $109 per share stock-for-stock merger of the two companies.  The
merger requires the approval of the holders of a majority of the
outstanding Cordis shares.  The parties said that they would expect 
that the shareholders meeting could be held in approximately 90
days.
     Cordis has approximately 17.6 million shares outstanding on a
fully diluted basis, giving the merger a total equity value, net of
cash, of approximately $1.8 billion.

Item 2 - MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
         FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

SALES AND EARNINGS

  Consolidated sales for the first nine months of 1995 of $13,996
million exceeded sales of $11,644 million for the first nine months
of 1994 by 20.2%.  The strength of foreign currencies relative to
the U.S. dollar increased sales for the first nine months of 1995
by 3.7%.  The sales increase of 16.5% due to operations included a
positive price change effect of .2%.    Consolidated net earnings
for the first nine months of 1995 were $1,938 million, compared
with net earnings of $1,628 million for the first nine months of
1994.  Earnings per share for the first nine months of 1995 were
$3.00 compared with $2.53 for the same period a year ago.  Net
earnings and earnings per share rose 19.0% and 18.6%, respectively.
  Consolidated sales for the third quarter of 1995 were $4,738
million, an increase of 17.3% over 1994 third quarter sales of
$4,038 million.  The effect of the weaker U.S. dollar relative to
foreign currencies increased third quarter sales by 2.2%. 
Consolidated net earnings for the third quarter of 1995 were $623
million, compared with $525 million for the same period a year ago,
an increase of 18.7%.  Earnings per share for the third quarter of
1995 rose 17.1% to $.96 compared with $.82 in the 1994 period.
  Domestic sales for the first nine months of 1995 were $6,741
million, an increase of 17.1% over 1994 domestic sales of $5,758
million for the same period a year ago.  Sales by international
subsidiaries were $7,255 million for the first nine months of 1995
compared with $5,886 million for the same period a year ago, an
increase of 23.3%.  Excluding the impact of the weaker value of the
dollar, international sales increased by 16.0%.

                                  - 13 -<PAGE>
   Worldwide consumer sales increased by 6.3%, during the third
quarter, which includes 0.4% in the U.S. and 12.7% internationally. 
Despite incremental sales generated by the acquisition of
Neutrogena and the launch of PEPCID AC Acid Controller, U.S. sales
were flat during the quarter due to softness in the TYLENOL
business as well as inventory contraction at some major retailers. 
Neutrogena is a line of high quality hair and skin care products,
which was acquired in the third quarter of 1994.  PEPCID AC Acid
Controller, which both prevents and treats heartburn, is marketed
by Johnson & Johnson-Merck Consumer Pharmaceuticals Co.  Since its
launch in May, sales of PEPCID AC have continued to progress
extremely well.  Our consumer business in Brazil contributed
significantly to the growth of international sales during the
quarter for this segment.
  Worldwide pharmaceutical sales increased 18.6% during the third
quarter, with U.S. and international sales up 26.7% and 13.0%,
respectively.  Sales growth was led by the strong performance of
RISPERDAL, a new anti-psychotic medication; PROCRIT, a treatment
for anemia; PROPULSID, a gastrointestinal product; SPORANOX, a
broad spectrum antifungal agent; and ULTRAM, a centrally acting
prescription analgesic for moderate to moderately severe pain. 
ULTRAM, which is less likely to cause gastrointestinal side effects
associated with many currently available  analgesics, has been well
received by patients and physicians since its April introduction in
the U.S.




                                  - 14 -<PAGE>
   In September 1995, Johnson & Johnson received Food and Drug
Administration ("FDA") approval to market PROPULSID in suspension
form.  Prior to this approval, PROPULSID was only available in
tablets.  During the month of September, the Company also received
approval from the FDA to market SPORANOX for the indication of
onychomycosis, a fungal nail disease. 
   The worldwide sales increase of 27.5% in the Professional
segment during the third quarter was composed of 24.8% in the U.S.
and 30.9% internationally.  Strong sales growth continued to be
fueled by the rapid market acceptance of the PALMAZ-SCHATZ Coronary
Stent for reducing restenosis, in which arteries become clogged
again after balloon angioplasty.  LifeScan's blood glucose
monitoring systems posted strong growth, reflecting the successful
launch of the ONE TOUCH PROFILE meter.  Ethicon's sutures, Ethicon
Endo-Surgery's minimally invasive surgical instruments and
Vistakon's disposable contact lenses continued to deliver solid
growth.  Vistakon's One-Day ACUVUE is now available in Japan,
Canada, U.K. and Denmark in addition to the U.S. Johnson & Johnson
Clinical Diagnostics, the diagnostic business acquired from Kodak
in November 1994, also contributed to the significant sales growth
in the professional business during the third quarter.
    In March 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (SFAS) No. 121,
"Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and Long-Lived
Assets to be Disposed of."  The new statement will be adopted in
1996 and management is currently assessing its effect on the
Company's results of operations, cash flows and financial position. 


                                  - 15 -<PAGE>

     In October 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board
issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 123,
"Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation".  The new statement
requires companies to measure employee stock compensation plans
based on the fair value method of accounting.  However, the
statement allows the alternative of continued use of Accounting
Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued
to Employees".  If this alternative is used, then pro forma
disclosure of net income and earnings per share determined as if
the fair value based method had been applied in measuring
compensation cost must be disclosed.  The Company will continue to
apply the intrinsic value based method of accounting for stock
based compensation agreements as per APB Opinion No. 25, with pro
forma disclosures.
    Average shares of common stock outstanding in the first nine
months  of 1995 were 645.5 million, compared with 643.2 million for
the same period a year ago.










    
                                  - 16 -<PAGE>
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
  Net debt (borrowings net of cash and current marketable
securities) as of October 1, 1995 was 11.7% of net capital
(stockholders' equity and net debt) compared with 25.2% at the end
of 1994.  Net debt decreased by $1,215 million during the first
nine months of 1995 to $1.18 billion at October 1, 1995.  Total
debt represented 22.0% of total capital (stockholders' equity and
total borrowings) at quarter end, compared with 30.3% at the end of
1994.
  Additions to property, plant and equipment were $780 million for
the first nine months of 1995, compared with $532 for the same
period in 1994.
  On October 16, 1995, the Board of Directors approved a regular
quarterly dividend of 33 cents per share payable on December 5,
1995 to shareholders of record as of November 14, 1995.
