NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


1. In the fourth quarter of 1993 Mallinckrodt adopted Statements of Financial 
   Accounting Standards No. 106, "Employer's Accounting for Postretirement 
   Benefits Other Than Pensions"; No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes"; 
   and No. 112, "Employer's Accounting for Postemployment Benefits," all 
   retroactive to July 1, 1992.  Results for 1993 have been
   restated to reflect the effects of adoption of these standards.

2. Corporate expense for the nine months of 1993 included $5.5 million, $3.4 
   million after taxes, or $.04 a share, from executive resignations.

3. The income tax provision for the nine months of 1994 included favorable 
   tax adjustments of $3.0 million, or $.04 a share, ($1.6 million, or $.02 
   a share, in the third quarter) from recently enacted U.S. and foreign tax 
   law changes.  Excluding these favorable adjustments, the effective tax 
   rate would have been 39.0 percent compared to 35.5 percent last year.

4. Earnings per common and common equivalent share were based on the 
   weighted average number of common and common equivalent shares 
   (77,614,829 and 77,385,130 for the nine months ended March 31, 1994 and 
   1993, and 77,890,468 and 77,206,409 for the quarters ended March 31,
   1994 and 1993, respectively).

ITEM  2.     MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND 
             RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

General
       

Earnings from continuing operations for the third quarter ended March 31 
were $42.9 million, or 55 cents per share, a 41 percent increase in 
per-share earnings compared with $30.5 million, or 39 cents per share, a 
year ago.  Excluding a favorable tax adjustment in this year's third
quarter of $1.6 million, or 2 cents per share from recently enacted foreign 
tax law changes, per-share earnings improved 36 percent.  Operating earnings 
increased 46 percent, while net sales were up 11 percent.

For the nine months, earnings from continuing operations were $114.9 million, 
or $1.48 per share, a 33 percent improvement in per-share earnings compared 
with $86.1 million, or $1.11  per share, last year.  Per-share earnings 
increased 25 percent after adjustment for a nonrecurring corporate
expense charge of $3.4 million after taxes, or 4 cents per share, in last 
year's second quarter and excluding favorable adjustments in this year's 
first and third quarters totaling $3.0 million, or 4 cents per share, from 
recently enacted U.S. and foreign tax law changes.  Operating earnings 
increased 30 percent and net sales improved 8 percent.

Net earnings for the nine months were $112.8 million, or $1.45 per share, 
compared with $2.6 million, or 3 cents per share, last year.  Results for 
1993 included an after-tax charge of $80.6 million, or $1.04 per share, 
from the adoption of certain accounting standards that involved employee 
benefit plans and income taxes.

</TABLE>
Mallinckrodt Chemical, including its equity-investment share of earnings 
from its flavors joint venture, achieved earnings of $22.4 million for the 
third quarter and $48.8 million for the nine months ended March 31, 1994.  
This represented increases of 68 percent and 48 percent, respectively, 
over the prior year.  Net sales increased 9 percent and 10 percent compared 
to the corresponding prior year quarter and nine months, respectively.  
Pharmaceutical specialties sales improved 1 percent for the quarter and 
10 percent for the nine months compared to last year.  Improved plant 
operations and higher worldwide sales volume for medicinal narcotics 
benefited both periods.  The increased nine month results also benefited 
from higher worldwide acetaminophen sales volume, partially offset by 
lower domestic and European acetaminophen sales volume in the third quarter. 
 Catalysts, performance and lab chemicals sales increased 21 percent 
and 10 percent for the quarter and nine months, respectively.  Higher 
worldwide catalysts sales volume along with higher sales and improved plant 
performance in inorganic chemicals during both periods contributed to the 
increases.  Results also benefited from the restructuring program  
recorded at the end of 1993.  The flavors joint venture earnings were 
significantly above the prior year for both periods from strong worldwide 
growth.

</TABLE>
Mallinckrodt Medical's operating earnings increased 10 percent and 13 
percent for the third quarter and nine months, respectively.  Net sales 
improved 17 percent and 16 percent for the same periods.  Currency effects 
impacted comparative results for both periods.  Excluding these effects, 
earnings increased at about the same rate as sales.  Radiology and
cardiology sales for the quarter and nine months increased 15 percent 
and 12 percent, respectively.  For both periods, higher sales volume of 
the x-ray contrast medium Optiray  in the U.S. and overseas more than 
offset the effects of price competition.  Nuclear medicine sales increased 
4 percent for the quarter and improved 1 percent for the nine months 
compared to the same periods last year.  For both periods, higher sales in 
the U.S. associated with thallium products and TechneScan and market share 
gains in Europe were partially offset by unfavorable foreign exchange rates 
and price competition.  Anesthesiology and critical care sales were up 31 
percent for the quarter and 38 percent for the nine months primarily from 
acquisitions.

</TABLE>
Mallinckrodt Veterinary's third quarter operating earnings more than 
doubled last year's results and operating earnings for the nine months 
improved 48 percent, principally from the company's restructuring program 
begun in late 1993.  Net sales increased 3 percent for the third quarter
and declined 4 percent for the nine months.  Pharmaceuticals sales for 
the quarter improved 8 percent from timing of North American marketing 
and selling programs in last year's second quarter.  For the nine months, 
pharmaceuticals sales were down 4 percent from global product 
rationalization designed to eliminate low margin products and from foreign
exchange rates.  Biologicals sales decreased 3 percent for the quarter 
from the above-mentioned product rationalization programs and supply and 
production problems.  Foreign exchange rates adversely impacted the nine 
month sales, in addition to the factors affecting the third quarter, as
sales decreased 10 percent compared to last year.  Feed ingredients sales 
were down 2 percent and 4 percent for the quarter and nine months, 
respectively, from lower sales volumes and price competition.  Veterinary 
specialties sales were up 7 percent for the quarter and 2 percent for  
the nine months primarily from higher sales in Brazil.



Corporate Matters
                 

Mallinckrodt corporate expense decreased $1.9 million for the quarter and 
$6.5 million for the nine months compared to the previous year.  The 
improved nine month comparison reflects pretax charges of $5.5 million 
included last year from executive resignations.  The Company' effective 
tax rate was 39.0 percent, excluding the favorable adjustment discussed 
above, compared to 35.5 percent last year.  This increase reflects the 
higher U.S. Federal statutory rate.  Also, the prior year rate included 
certain favorable tax reserve adjustments and foreign tax credit
effects.



FINANCIAL CONDITION

The Company's financial resources are expected to continue to be adequate to 
support existing businesses and fund new opportunities.  Since June 30, 
1993, cash and short-term investments increased $31.6 million.  Operations 
provided $115.7 million of cash, while capital spending totaled $122.0 
million.  Acquisition spending (including acquisition accrual spending) 
totaled $94.6 million, of which $61.0 million relates to the acquisition of 
Catalyst Resources, Inc. and $28.8 million relates to the acquisition of 
DAR S.p.A.  In July 1993, the Company received $51.9 million in cash for 
its IMC Fertilizer Group, Inc. (IFL) dividend receivable.  The Company's   
current ratio at March 31, 1994, was 1.4.  Debt as a percentage of invested 
capital was 42.4 percent.

In August 1987 and October 1988, the Company's Board of Directors authorized 
repurchase of a total of 42.0 million shares of its common stock.  Since 
then 28.9 million shares have been purchased under this authorization, 
none during 1994.
                                     8<PAGE>

On April 8, 1992, a shelf registration statement was filed with the SEC 
for $250 million of debt securities.  In 1994, the Company offered 
$100.0 million of 6% Notes due October 15, 2003 and $100.0 million of 
7% Debentures due December 15, 2013, from this shelf registration.  Net 
proceeds from these offerings totaled $197.2 million, of which $90.0 
million was used to replace short-term notes related to 1993 acquisitions.  
Such notes had been classified as long-term debt at June 30, 1993.

The Company has a $350 million private-placement commercial paper program.  
This program is backed by $450 million of U.S. lines of credit, of which 
$350 million is available until August 1996 and $100 million is available 
until August 1994.  At March 31, 1994, commercial paper borrowings and 
borrowings under the U.S. credit line amounted to $216.4 million and $20.0
million, respectively.  At March 31, 1994, non-U.S. lines of credit totaling
$205.5 million were also available and borrowings under these lines amounted
to $41.0 million.  The non-U.S. lines are cancelable at any time.

Estimated capital spending for the year ending June 30, 1994, is 
approximately $200 million.



OTHER MATTERS

In the fourth quarter of 1993, Mallinckrodt adopted Statements of Financial 
Accounting Standards No. 106, "Employer's Accounting for Postretirement 
Benefits Other Than Pensions"; No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes"; and 
No. 112, "Employer's Accounting for Postemployment Benefits," 
all retroactive to July 1, 1992.  Results for 1993 have been restated to 
reflect the effects of adoption of these standards.



PART II.  OTHER INFORMATION
