Item 2.   Acquisition or Disposition of Assets




       On February 23, 1996, Johnson & Johnson ("J&J") and Cordis Corporation
("Cordis") announced that Cordis shareholders voted that day at a special
meeting to approve the previously announced merger agreement between the two
companies.  Shortly after the affirmative vote, the merger was completed.  J&J
common stock issued in the merger for each Cordis share is the result of
dividing $109 by the average of the closing prices per share of J&J common
stock for the 10 trading days prior to the completion of the merger on February
23, 1996.  This resulted in an exchange ratio of 1.1292 shares of J&J stock for
each share of Cordis stock.  Cordis had approximately 16.5 million shares
outstanding on February 23, 1996 and 18.0 million shares outstanding on a fully
diluted basis, giving the merger a total value, net of cash, of approximately
$1.8 billion.  The Pro Forma Combined Condensed Financial Information contained
in this Form 8-K reflects the actual 10 day average J&J closing price of
$96.525 per share and the issuance of approximately 18.7 million shares of J&J
common stock held in treasury.  The merger is assumed to be accounted for as a
pooling-of-interests, with the results of Cordis included in J&J's financial
statements.

             DESCRIPTION OF UNAUDITED PRO FORMA COMBINED CONDENSED
                             FINANCIAL INFORMATION 


The following Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Condensed Financial Information
should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements, including
the notes thereto, of Johnson & Johnson (J&J) as of January 1, 1995, January 2,
1994, and January 3, 1993 that are contained in J&J's Annual Reports and of
Cordis Corporation (Cordis) as of June 30, 1995, June 30, 1994 and June 30,
1993 that are contained in Cordis' Annual Reports and with the unaudited
financial statements, including the notes thereto, of J&J that are contained in
J&J's Report in Form 10-Q for the quarter ended October 1, 1995 and of Cordis
that are contained in Cordis' Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended
September 30, 1995, which reports are incorporated by reference in this Form
8-K.  Cordis acquired Webster Laboratories, Inc in April, 1994 and accounted
for the combination as a pooling of interests. The Unaudited Pro Forma Combined
Statements of Earnings for the twelve months ended January 2, 1994 and the
twelve months ended January 3, 1993 are based on the restated Quarterly
financial data contained in Cordis' annual report as of June 30, 1994.  Upon
consummation of the merger, the fiscal year end of Cordis will be changed to
the J&J fiscal year end.  The pro forma information is presented for
illustrative purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of the operating
results or financial position that would have occurred if the merger had been
consummated, nor is it necessarily indicative of future operating results or
financial position.

The accompanying Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Condensed Financial Information
reflect a $109 stock-for-stock merger in which all outstanding Cordis shares
will be exchanged for common stock of J&J held in treasury.  The amount of J&J
common stock exchanged is obtained by dividing $109 by the average of the
closing price per share of common stock of J&J for the ten trading days
immediately preceding consummation of the stock-for-stock merger.  The Pro
Forma Combined Condensed Financial Information reflects the actual 10 day
average J&J closing price of $96.525 per share.  The number of shares of common
stock of J&J exchanged for each outstanding share of Cordis, therefore, is
1.1292 (the "Exchange Ratio") or 18.7 million treasury shares issued.
