NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1 - The accompanying interim financial statements and related
notes should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial
Statements of Johnson & Johnson and Subsidiaries (the "Company")
and related notes as contained in the Annual Report on Form 10-K
for the fiscal year ended December 31, 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 weighted average
number of shares of common stock outstanding during the applicable
period.  Earnings per share figures and shares outstanding reflect
the two-for-one stock split effective during the second quarter of
1996.  Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform
with current year presentation.

NOTE 2 - INCOME TAXES
The effective income tax rates for 1996 and 1995 are as follows:
                                    1996            1995
    First Quarter                   29.7%           29.0%
    Second Quarter                  29.3            29.0
    First Half                      29.5            29.0


The effective income tax rates for the first half of 1996 and 1995
are 29.5% and 29.0%, respectively, as compared to the U.S. federal
statutory rate of 35%.  The difference from the statutory rate is
primarily the result of domestic subsidiaries operating in Puerto
Rico under a grant for tax relief expiring on December 31, 2007 and
the result of subsidiaries manufacturing in Ireland under an
incentive tax rate expiring on December 31, 2010.  The increase in
the 1996 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.

NOTE 6 - MERGER

  On February 23, 1996, Johnson & Johnson and Cordis Corporation
completed the previously announced merger between the two
companies.  The number of Johnson & Johnson shares issued in the
merger for each Cordis share is the result of dividing $109 by the
average of the closing prices per Johnson & Johnson share for the
10 trading days  prior to the closing of the merger.  This resulted
in an exchange ratio of 1.1292 shares of Johnson & Johnson stock
for each share of Cordis stock.  The merger has a total value, net
of cash, of approximately $1.8 billion.  Cordis had approximately
17.6 million shares outstanding on a fully diluted basis.  The
merger has been accounted for as a pooling of interests, however,
prior period financial statements have not been restated as the
effect of reflecting data relating to this merger would not
materially affect previously issued financial statements.
  Cordis is a leader in angiography and angioplasty (balloon
catheters).  The combination of Cordis and Johnson & Johnson's
interventional cardiology business is an important strategic step
for both companies to meet the challenge of providing for customer
needs in the fast changing healthcare industry.

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

SALES AND EARNINGS
  Consolidated sales for the first six months of 1996 of $10,716
million exceeded sales of $9,258 million for the first six months
of 1995 by 15.7%.  The strength of the U.S. dollar relative to the
foreign currencies decreased sales for the first six months of 1996
by 1.7%.  The  sales increase of 17.4% due to operations included
a positive price change effect of .4%. Consolidated net earnings
for the first six months of 1996 were $1,581 million, compared with
net earnings of $1,315 million for the first six months of 1995. 
Earnings per share for the first six months of 1996 were $1.19,
compared with $1.02 for the same period a year ago.  Net earnings
and earnings per share rose 20.2% and 16.7%, respectively.
  Consolidated sales for the second quarter of 1996 were $5,382
million, an increase of 13.0% over 1995 second quarter sales of
$4,762 million.  The effect of the stronger U.S. dollar relative to
foreign currencies decreased second quarter sales by 3.1%, while
price changes contributed .2%.  Consolidated net earnings for the
second quarter of 1996 were $791 million, compared with $661
million for the same period a year ago, an increase of 19.7%. 
Earnings per share for the second quarter of 1996 rose 17.6% to
$.60, compared with $.51 in the 1995 period.
  Domestic sales for the first six months of 1996 were $5,289
million, an increase of 20.0% over 1995 domestic sales of $4,406
million for the same period a year ago.  Sales by international
subsidiaries were $5,427 million for the first  six months of 1996
compared with $4,852 million for the same period a year ago, an
increase of 11.9%.  Excluding the impact of the stronger value of
the dollar, international sales increased by 15.1%.
- - 11 -<PAGE>
  Worldwide consumer sales of $1.5 billion for the second quarter
represented an increase of 5.1%.  Growth was led by the NEUTROGENA
line of adult skin and hair care products; PEPCID AC Acid  
Controller, a product of Johnson & Johnson o Merck Consumer
Pharmaceuticals Co.; and the TYLENOL line of acetaminophen-based
analgesic and cold products.
  On July 3, the Company received marketing clearance from the Food
and Drug Administration for NICOTROL, the first nicotine
transdermal patch to become available for sale directly to
consumers without a prescription.  The decision to make NICOTROL
patches available without a prescription follows the FDA's
marketing clearance in March of this year for  NICOTROL NS, a
unique prescription nicotine nasal spray designed to reduce
nicotine withdrawal symptoms and help smokers quit, when used as
part of a comprehensive smoking cessation program.
  Another new consumer product recently approved by the Food and
Drug Administration is MONISTAT 3.  This three-day miconazole
nitrate treatment, which cures most vaginal yeast infections, will
offer a shorter course of treatment.  MONISTAT continues to be the
number one doctor-recommended cure.  Currently, vaginal yeast
infections  affect more than 13 million women each year in the
United States.  Three quarters of women will experience at least
one vaginal yeast infection during their lifetime.
  Worldwide pharmaceutical sales of $1.8 billion for the quarter
increased 11.6%, with domestic sales growing 24.9%. Leading the
increase in pharmaceutical sales growth were RISPERDAL, an
antipsychotic medication; ULTRAM, a centrally acting prescription
pain reliever; PROCRIT, for the treatment of anemia; and  SPORANOX,
a broad spectrum antifungal medication.  SPORANOX, recently

                           - 12 -<PAGE>
  
approved for a new indication, onychomycosis, is the first advance
in treating fungal nail disease in three decades.  Since its launch
for that indication last fall, SPORANOX has generated excellent
positive feedback from primary care physicians, dermatologists and
podiatrists.

  Worldwide sales of $2.0 billion in the Professional segment
represented an increase of 21.3% over the second quarter in 1995. 
Strong sales growth benefited from the merger with Cordis as well
as the continuing, rapid professional acceptance of the PALMAZ-
SCHATZ Coronary Stent, due to its efficacy in reducing the
incidence of recurring blockage of coronary arteries following
balloon angioplasty.  LifeScan's blood glucose monitoring systems,
Vistakon's ACUVUE disposable contact lenses, Johnson & Johnson
Professional's orthopaedic implants, and Ethicon Endo-Surgery's
minimally invasive surgical instruments continued to deliver solid
performance.

  Average shares of common stock outstanding in the first half of
1996 were 1.3 billion, an increase of 43.8 million over the prior
year, due  to the 37.2 million shares issued for the Cordis merger
in 1996 and the balance for various acquisitions using common stock
during 1995.  Earnings per share figures and shares outstanding
reflect the two-for-one stock split  effective during the  second
quarter of 1996.




                                   -13-<PAGE>
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES                  
  Net  debt (borrowings net of  cash and current marketable 
securities) as of June 30, 1996 was 3.8% of net capital
(stockholders' equity and net debt) compared with 10.5% at the end
of 1995.  Net debt decreased by $661 million during the first six
months of  1996 to $403 million at June 30, 1996.  Total debt
represented 18.7% of total capital (stockholders'  equity and total
borrowings) at quarter end, compared with 21.2% at the end of 1995.

  Additions to property, plant and equipment were $495 million for
the first six months of 1996, compared with $472 million for the
same period in 1995.

  On July 15, 1996, the Board of Directors approved a regular 
quarterly dividend of 19 cents per share payable on September 10,
1996 to shareholders of record as of August 20, 1996.

terms of this Article FOURTH, be set forth in an amendment of the
Certificate of Incorporation of the Corporation which the Board of

Corporation or both, into shares of any other class or classes of
capital stock of the Corporation or of any series of the same or
any other class or classes;

     (e) redeemable, the whole or in part, at the option of the

prices, within such period or periods, and under such conditions as

the creation of a sinking fund for the redemption thereof; and

shares in, any series as to which no shares have theretofore been
issued.

the time that this Restated Certificate of Incorporation shall

     No holder of any stock of the Corporation of any class now or
hereafter authorized shall have any right as such holder (other
than such right, if any, as the Board of Directors in its
discretion may determine) to purchase, subscribe for or otherwise
acquire any shares of stock of the Corporation of any class now or
hereafter authorized, or any part-paid receipts or allotment
certificates in respect of any such shares, or any securities
convertible into or exchangeable for any such shares, or any
warrants or other instruments evidencing rights or options to
subscribe for, purchase or otherwise acquire any such shares,
whether such shares, receipts, certificates, securities, warrants
or other instruments be unissued or issued and thereafter acquired
by the Corporation.

     Subject to the foregoing provisions of this Article FOURTH,
the Board of Directors shall have the power in its discretion to
declare and pay dividends upon the shares of stock of the
Corporation of any class out of any assets of the Corporation
lawfully available for the payment of dividends.  Anything in this
Certificate of Incorporation to the contrary notwithstanding, no
holder of any share of stock of the Corporation of any class shall
have any right to any dividend thereon unless such dividend shall
have been declared by the Board of Directors as aforesaid.

     determined under clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) below:


               (i) (if applicable) the highest per share price
          (including any brokerage commissions, transfer taxes and
          soliciting dealers' fees) offered or paid by or on behalf
          of the Interested Stockholder for any share of such class

          acquisition by the Interested Stockholder of beneficial
          ownership of shares of such class or series of Capital
          Stock within the two-year period immediately prior to or

          dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the
          Corporation regardless of whether the Business
          Combination to be consummated constitutes such an event.

     required to be met with respect to every class or series of

     series of Capital Stock.

          (c) The consideration to be received by holders of a
     particular class or series of outstanding Capital Stock shall
     be in cash or in the same form as previously had been paid by
     or on behalf of the Interested Stockholder in connection with
     its direct or indirect acquisition of beneficial ownership of
     shares of such class or series of Capital Stock.  If the
     consideration so paid for shares of any class or series of
     Capital Stock varied as to form, the form of consideration for
     such class or series of Capital Stock shall be either cash or
     the form used to acquire beneficial ownership of the largest
     number of shares of such class or series of Capital Stock
     previously acquired by the Interested Stockholder.

          (d) After such Interested Stockholder has become an
     Interested Stockholder and prior to the consummation of such
     Business Combination:

               (i) except as approved by a majority of the
          Continuing Directors, there shall have been no failure to

          dividends (whether or not cumulative) payable in
          accordance with the terms of any outstanding Capital
          Stock;

               (ii) there shall have been no reduction in the
          annual rate of dividends paid on the Common Stock (except
          as necessary to reflect any stock split, stock dividend
          or subdivision of the Common Stock), except as approved
          by a majority of the Continuing Directors;

               (iii) there shall have been an increase in the
          annual rate of dividends paid on the Common Stock as
          necessary to reflect any reclassification (including any
          reverse stock split), recapitalization, reorganization or
          any similar transaction that has the effect of reducing
          the number of shares of Common Stock, unless the failure
          so to increase such annual rate is approved by a majority
          of the Continuing Directors; and

               (iv) such Interested Stockholder shall not have
          become the beneficial owner of any additional shares of
          Capital Stock except as part of the transaction that
          results in such Interested Stockholder becoming an
          Interested Stockholder and except in a transaction that,
          after giving effect thereto, would not result in any

     effect, directly or indirectly, of increasing the
     proportionate share of any class or series of Capital Stock,
     or any securities convertible into Capital Stock or into
     equity securities of any Subsidiary, that is beneficially
     owned by any Interested stockholder or any Affiliate or

          (e) any agreement, contract or other arrangement

     (5) A person shall be a "beneficial owner" of any Capital
Stock (a) which such person or any of its Affiliates or Associates

United States securities exchange registered under the Act on which
such stock is listed, or, if such stock is not listed on any such
exchange, the highest closing bid quotation with respect to a share
of such stock during the 30-day period ending on the date in
question on the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. 
Automated Quotations System or any similar system then in use, or
if no such quotations are available, the Fair Market Value on the

                                                  Exhibit 3


     D. The Board of Directors shall have the power and duty to
determine for the purposes of this Article EIGHTH, on the basis of
information known to them after reasonable inquiry, (a) whether a
person is an Interested Stockholder, (b) the number of shares of
Capital Stock or other securities beneficially owned by any person,
(c) whether a person is an Affiliate or Associate of another, and
(d) whether the assets that are the subject of any Business
Combination have, or the consideration to be received for the
issuance or transfer of securities by the Corporation or any
Subsidiary in any Business Combination has, an aggregate Fair
Market Value of more than 5% of the total assets of the Corporation
and its Subsidiaries as reflected on the consolidated balance sheet
of the Corporation and its Subsidiaries as of the end of the
Corporation's most recent fiscal year.  Any such determination made
in good faith shall be binding and conclusive on all parties.

     E. Nothing contained in this Article EIGHTH shall be construed
to relieve any Interested Stockholder from any fiduciary obligation
imposed by law.

     F. The fact that any Business Combination complies with the
provisions of Section B of this Article EIGHTH shall not be
construed to impose any fiduciary duty, obligation or
responsibility on the Board, or any member thereof, to approve such
Business Combination or recommend its adoption or approval to the
stockholders of the Corporation, nor shall such compliance limit,
prohibit or otherwise restrict in any manner the Board, or any
member thereof, with respect to evaluations of or actions and
responses taken with respect to such Business Combination.

     G. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Restated
Certificate of Incorporate or the By-Laws of the Corporation (and
notwithstanding the fact that a lesser percentage or separate class
vote may be specified by law, this Restated Certificate of
Incorporation or the By-Laws of the Corporation), the affirmative
vote of the holders of not less than eighty percent (80%) of the
votes entitled to be cast by the holders of all then outstanding
shares of Voting Stock, voting together as a single class, and the
affirmative vote of a majority of the combined votes entitled to be
cast by Disinterested Stockholders voting together as a single
class shall be required to amend or repeal, or adopt any provisions
inconsistent with, this Article

                                                  Exhibit 3


     EIGHTH : provided, however, that this Section G shall not
apply to, and such eighty percent (80%) vote shall not be required
for, any amendment, repeal or adoption unanimously recommended by
the Board if all of such directors are persons who would be
eligible to serve as Continuing Directors within the meaning of
Paragraph (8) of Section C of this Article EIGHTH.

     NINTH : To the full extent that the laws of the State of New
Jersey, as they exist on the date hereof or as they may hereafter
be amended, permit the limitation or elimination of the liability
of Directors or officers, no Director or officer of the Corporation
shall be personally liable to the Corporation or its stockholders
for damages for breach of any duty owed to the Corporation or its
stockholders.  Neither the amendment or repeal of this Article nor
the adoption of any provision of this Restated Certificate of
Incorporation which is inconsistent with this Article shall apply
to or have any effect on the liability or alleged liability of any
Director or officer of the Corporation for or with respect to any
act or omission of such Director or officer occurring prior to such
amendment, repeal or adoption.

     TENTH : The Board of Directors of the Corporation shall
consist of not less than nine nor more than eighteen members, the
actual number to be determined by the Board of Directors from time
to time.  No Director of the Corporation may be removed by a vote
of the stockholders, except for cause.

     IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Johnson & Johnson has caused this Restated
Certificate of Incorporation to be duly executed this 26th day of
April, 1990.
