          This statement amends and supplements the combined Tender Offer
Statement on Schedule 14D-1, as amended by Amendment No. 1 thereto, and
Statement on Schedule 13D, as amended by Amendment Nos. 1 and 2 thereto,
originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on July 27,
1998 (collectively and as amended, the "Schedule 14D-1 & Schedule 13D"), by
Johnson & Johnson, a New Jersey corporation ("Parent"), and LIB Acquisition
Corp., a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (the
"Purchaser"), in connection with the offer to purchase all the outstanding
shares of Common Stock, par value $.01 per share (the "Shares"), of DePuy,
Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), at $35 per Share, net to the
seller in cash, without interest, upon the terms and subject to the
conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase dated July 27, 1998 (the
"Offer to Purchase"), and in the related Letter of Transmittal (which,
together with any amendments or supplements thereto, collectively
constitute the "Offer"). Capitalized terms used and not defined herein
shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Offer to Purchase and
the Schedule 14D-1 & Schedule 13D.

Item 3.   Past Contracts, Transactions or Negotiations with the Subject
          Company.

          Items 3(a) and 3(b) of the Schedule 14D-1 & Schedule 13D are
hereby amended and supplemented by adding the following language thereto:

          At the meeting attended by Messrs. Dearstyne, Grilli, Jung,
          Doyle, Lent and Dormer on July 16, 1998, the representatives of
          Parent and the Company familiarized themselves with each other's
          product lines, domestic sales forces and international
          distribution methods, discussed potential efficiencies that might
          be realized from the transaction and discussed human resources
          and administrative issues in connection with the integration of
          the Company and Johnson & Johnson Professional, Inc., including
          integration of senior management, in the event that the
          transaction was consummated.

Item 4.   Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.

          Item 4(b) of the Schedule 14D-1 & Schedule 13D is hereby amended
and supplemented by adding the following language thereto:

          Parent currently does not intend to use its available lines of
          credit to finance the Offer and

                                     2

          the Merger. Instead, Parent intends to provide to the Purchaser
          the funds required to consummate the Offer and the Merger from
          available cash and the proceeds of short-term commercial paper
          issued on terms determined as market conditions warrant. Parent
          expects to repay such commercial paper out of cash flow generated
          from operations and through the issuance of debt securities when
          advantageous opportunities arise. Parent has not entered into any
          arrangement requiring the Purchaser to repay Parent for its
          capital contribution.

Item 7.   Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with
          Respect to the Subject Company's Securities.

          Item 7 of the Schedule 14D-1 & Schedule 13D and Section 12 of the
Offer to Purchase are hereby amended and supplemented by adding the
following language thereto:

          The indirect wholly owned subsidiaries of Roche that are parties
          to the Stockholder Agreement are Corange Limited, Corange
          International Limited, Corange International Holding B.V. and
          Pharminvest S.A.

Item 10.  Additional Information.

          Item 10(f) of the Schedule 14D-1 & Schedule 13D is hereby amended
and supplemented by adding the following language thereto:

          The determination concerning the satisfaction of the conditions
          to the Offer (including, if the Offer is extended or amended, the
          terms and conditions of any such extension or amendment) will be
          within the reasonable discretion of the Purchaser, and such
          determination will be final and binding on all tendering
          Stockholders.
