             NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS



Note 1.   The Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting
          Standards No. 115 - "Accounting for Certain Investments
          in Debt and Equity Securities" (SFAS No. 115) effective
          January 1, 1994.  The Company's portfolio of debt securities
          consists of cash equivalents classified as held-to-maturity
          (recorded at cost) and marketable securities, consisting
          entirely of debt securities which are classified as
          available-for-sale (recorded at fair value).  The cumulative
          effect of implementing SFAS No. 115 and the first quarter
          impact of the changes in fair value of the Company's
          marketable securities on shareholders' equity, were not
          material.  The portfolio of debt securities consists
          principally of U.S. government and agency obligations with
          an average maturity of 3.3 years, and corporate obligations
          with an average maturity of 3.0 years.  The fair value of
          cash equivalents approximated cost at March 31, 1994.  For
          periods prior to 1994, marketable securities were recorded
          at cost which approximated market.

Note 2.   The Company also was required to adopt Statement of
          Financial Accounting Standards No. 112 - "Employers'
          Accounting for Postemployment Benefits," effective
          January 1, 1994.  The effect on the financial statements  
          of this standard was not significant.           

Note 3.   On February 19, 1993, the Company issued $250 million of
          30 year debentures due March 1, 2023, under a shelf
          registration statement previously filed with the Securities
          and Exchange Commission.  The debentures bear interest at
          the rate of 7 1/4% payable semiannually on March 1 and
          September 1.

Note 4.   On February 18, 1994, the Company acquired all the
          outstanding common stock and certain international
          trademarks of Siegfried Pharma GmbH for $23.2 million.  On
          March 19, 1993, the Company acquired all the outstanding
          common stock of M. Polaner, Inc. ("Polaner") for $67.5
          million.

Results of Operations

Net sales for the 1994 first quarter of $2.1 billion increased 2% from
prior year levels.  Health care product segment sales were 1% above
1993 levels and food product sales increased 7% over prior year
amounts.  The negative impact of foreign exchange rates on
consolidated worldwide net sales was approximately 1% in the first
quarter of 1994.

Consolidated Net Sales          $2,144.0      $2,111.0       +2% 

Worldwide pharmaceutical sales increased 1% from the corresponding
1993 period.  U.S. pharmaceutical sales, which include infant
nutritionals, increased 3%, due to higher prices and volume growth
from the roll-out of the Company's new antidepressant product Effexor
and increases in the cardiovascular and oral contraceptive product
lines.  Also contributing to this volume increase were sales of
Genetics Institute, Inc.'s recombinant antihemophilic factor (rAHF). 
Partly offsetting these increases were volume declines in the Norplant
System, anti-inflammatory products, infant nutritionals and Premarin. 
Premarin's decline was due, for the most part, to the December 1993
buy-in in anticipation of a January 1994 price increase.  Foreign
pharmaceutical sales decreased 1% for the 1994 first quarter as
unfavorable exchange rates and lower unit sales of infant nutritionals
more than offset price increases and unit volume growth in the female
health care product line.  Excluding the effects of exchange rate
fluctuations, foreign pharmaceutical sales would have increased 3% for
the first quarter.

Worldwide consumer health care sales decreased 1% for the 1994 first
quarter.  U.S. consumer health care sales decreased 5% in the first
quarter, due largely to unit shortfalls in the cough/cold category
resulting from a mild cold and flu season.  Foreign consumer health
care sales increased 7% for the 1994 first quarter, due principally to
inflationary price increases in Brazil and volume growth in the oral
health care product line in certain Latin American markets.  Partially
offsetting these increases were unfavorable exchange rate
fluctuations.  Excluding the effects of exchange rate fluctuations,
foreign consumer health care sales would have increased 9% in the
first quarter.

Worldwide medical supplies and diagnostics products sales increased 4%
in the 1994 first quarter.  U.S. sales increased 3% in the 1994 first
quarter, principally as a result of unit volume growth in needles and
syringes.  Foreign sales in this sector increased 8% in the 1994 first
quarter, principally due to unit volume growth in tubes and catheters,
particularly in Japan, as well as favorable foreign exchange rates. 

Food products sales increased 7% for the 1994 first quarter,
principally due to increased unit volume resulting from the 
acquisition of M. Polaner, Inc. in March 1993.

The table below presents comparative first quarter net sales by
geographic segments.  Canada and Latin America sales increases were
primarily related to Brazil.  Results in Europe and Africa were
adversely impacted by a stronger U.S. dollar versus year ago levels.

Selling, administrative and general expenses, as a percentage of net
sales decreased to 34.2% in the first quarter of 1994 compared to
35.2% in the first quarter of 1993.  Contributing to this decrease was
the reduction of legal reserves relating to certain Ativan claims in
the United Kingdom due to favorable developments that occurred in the
first quarter of 1994.

Research and development expenses increased $22 million in the 1994
first quarter to $173 million.  Included in this amount are
expenditures by Genetics Institute, Inc., net of related collaborative
revenues, of $26.2 million versus $18.6 million in the first quarter
of 1993.

Net income and net income per share, increased 4% for the 1994 first
quarter.


Health Care Reform and Competition

The uncertainty about health care reform in the United States
continued during the first quarter of 1994.  The proposals by the
Clinton Administration have been presented to Congress.  The Company
cannot predict with certainty the impact these reforms might have and
the extent Congress will modify the Administration's proposals, except
that it is the Company's belief that the pharmaceutical industry will
continue to play a very positive role in helping to contain health
care costs.  In international markets, health care spending is subject
to increasing governmental scrutiny, much of which is focused on
pharmaceutical prices.  In the United States, pricing pressures are
being exercised increasingly by managed care providers. It is expected
that these market forces will continue to constrain price growth in
1994 regardless of the outcome of health care reform.  In 1993, the
Company's weighted average U.S. prescription pharmaceutical price
increase was approximately 2.6%.  

As to competition, the Company is not dependent on any patent-
protected product or line of products for a substantial portion of its
revenues or profits.  However, PREMARIN, the Company's conjugated
estrogens product, does contribute significantly to sales and profits. 
For further discussion on PREMARIN see Item 1, Competition of the
Company's 1993 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Liquidity, Financial Condition and Capital Resources


Cash and cash equivalents decreased $176.7 million in the first
quarter of 1994 to $1.8 billion.  Cash flow from operating activities
of $322.0 million as well as available cash reserves, were used
principally for dividend payments of $226.5 million, common share
repurchases of $178.4 million and capital expenditures of $87.1
million. 

The Company repurchased 2,954,600 common shares during the 1994 first
quarter.  Capital expenditures included the continuation of the
Company's investment to expand and upgrade its research and
development facilities in Radnor and Marietta, Pennsylvania,
Princeton, New Jersey and Andover, Massachusetts and certain strategic
manufacturing/distribution facilities worldwide.

The Company continues to generate positive cash flow from operating
activities and foresees no difficulty in maintaining its financial
position and liquidity while financing its research and development,
common share repurchase and capital expenditure programs.

Item 1.   Legal Proceedings

          The Company is involved in various legal proceedings of a
          nature considered normal to its business.  The most
          significant of these are described in the Company's Annual
          Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1993.

          In addition, on March 7, 1994, the Company was served in an
          action seeking at least $160 million in damages alleged to
          have arisen from a purportedly improper preliminary
          injunction.  Johnson & Johnson ("J&J") and Ortho
          Pharmaceutical Corporation ("Ortho") v. American Home
          Products Corporation (E.D.Pa. 1994).  The preliminary
          injunction, which was granted in a patent infringement
          lawsuit brought by the Company, had prevented J&J and Ortho
          from marketing an oral contraceptive containing 
          norgestimate for approximately 10 months until it was
          overturned by the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit
          in a two-to-one decision.  In the district court in the
          underlying action, American Home Products Corporation et al.
          v. Ortho et al., the jury found against the Company on its
          claim of infringement and the Company has commenced an
          appeal. The jury also rejected J&J's unfair competition
          claim for damages relating to the purportedly improper
          preliminary injunction.   

          In the opinion of the Company, although the outcome of any
          litigation cannot be predicted with certainty, the ultimate
          liability of the Company in connection with pending
          litigation and other matters described above will not have a
          material adverse effect on the Company's financial position
          or results of operations. 

          Regulation

          In the ordinary course of business, the Company's health
          care and food products facilities are inspected periodically
          by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration ("FDA").  (See page
          I-6 of the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year
          ended December 31, 1993 for a general discussion of FDA and
          other regulatory matters).  Following a series of
          inspections at a consumer health care products manufacturing
          facility in Hammonton, New Jersey, the Company recently
          received an unusually lengthy FDA observation report
          containing what the FDA believes are violations of good
          manufacturing practice requirements.  Although the Company
          believes that it will be successful in its efforts to work
          with the FDA in resolving these issues and to avert
          regulatory action, there is no assurance that supply of some
          of the products produced at this facility will not be
          disrupted.  However, the Company believes that such
          disruption or other consequences, if any, would not have a
          material effect on its financial position or results of operations.
