Worldwide pharmaceutical sales increased 5% for the 1994 second
quarter and were 3% higher for the first six months of 1994. 
Excluding the effects of foreign exchange rate fluctuations, 1994
worldwide pharmaceutical sales would have increased 6% for the
second quarter and 4% for the first six months.  U.S.
pharmaceutical sales increased 4% for the 1994 second quarter due
primarily to unit volume growth.  This volume growth was led by
Premarin, anti-inflammatory products and the veterinary product
line and was offset, in part, by lower unit sales of infant
nutritionals, Norplant, oral contraceptives and cardiovascular
products. 
<PAGE>
First half sales increased 3% with unit volume growth generating
the majority of the increase.  These unit increases were mainly
due to the initial sell-in of Effexor, increased sales of
Premarin and anti-inflammatory products, and to a lesser extent,
increases in cardiovascular and veterinary products and Factor
VIII.  These increases were offset, in part, by lower unit sales
of Norplant, infant nutritional products and oral contraceptives. 
Foreign pharmaceutical sales increased 6% for the 1994 second
quarter and 2% for the first six months due primarily to unit
volume growth in nutritional products and Premarin.  Excluding
the effects of foreign exchange rate fluctuations, foreign
pharmaceutical sales would have increased 9% in the second
quarter and 6% for the first six months.  

Worldwide consumer health care sales decreased 3% for the 1994
second quarter and 2% for the first half.  U.S. sales of consumer
health care products decreased 2% for the second quarter and 4%
for the first half due primarily to lower unit sales of 
cough/cold and family planning products offset, in part, by
increases in sales of lip care, hemorrhoidal relief and analgesic
products.  Foreign consumer health care sales decreased 4% for
the second quarter due primarily to lower sales of oral health
care products in Brazil and lower unit sales of sleep-aid and
analgesic products in Germany and increased 1% for the first half
of 1994 due primarily to unit volume increases in cough/cold
products in certain Latin American markets.  Excluding the
effects of foreign exchange, international consumer health care
sales would have decreased 2% for the second quarter and
increased 3% for the first half of 1994.

Worldwide medical supplies and diagnostic products sales
decreased 1% for the second quarter and increased 1% for the
first six months of 1994.  U.S. sales decreased 3% for the 1994
second quarter as volume increases in needles and syringes,
tympanic thermometry and surgical devices were more than offset
by lower sales from Corometrics Medical System, Inc. which was
sold in May 1994.  First half U.S. sales were approximately equal
to year ago levels as volume increases in needles and syringes,
surgical devices and tympanic thermometry products, were offset
by lower sales from Corometrics.  Excluding the results of
Corometrics, sales increases for this segment would have been 5%
for the second quarter and first half of 1994.
<PAGE>
Foreign sales increased 6% for the second quarter and 7% for the
first half due primarily to volume increases in the tube and
catheter product lines in Germany and Japan.

Food products sales increased 13% for the 1994 second quarter and
10% for the first half due primarily to increases in unit sales
of canned pasta products, Polaner and Pam.  The successful
introduction of the Sesame Street line of nutritional pasta for
children contributed to these sales increases.

The tables below present comparative net sales for the second
quarter and first six months of 1994 by geographic segment.  The
second quarter and first half results for the Canada and Latin
America and Europe and Africa segments were adversely impacted by
unfavorable foreign exchange rate fluctuations.  Excluding the
effects of the rate fluctuations, sales in Canada and Latin
America would have approximated 1993 levels for the 1994 second
quarter and would have increased 5% for the first half and sales
in Europe and Africa would have increased 9% for the second
quarter and 6% for the first six months.  The Asia and Australia
segment was favorably impacted by foreign exchange rates which
contributed $2.9 million and $4.9 million to sales in the 1994
second quarter and first half, respectively.

Cost of goods sold, as a percentage of net sales, decreased 2.4%
from 1993 levels for the second quarter and 1.4% for the first
six months due primarily to lower royalty expenses, certain non-
recurring product recall expenses incurred in 1993 and a more
favorable product mix.

Selling, administrative and general expenses, as a percentage of
net sales, increased 0.6% from 1993 levels in the second quarter
and decreased 0.2% for the first half.  The increase in the
second quarter was due primarily to higher marketing and selling
expenses.   First half increases in marketing and selling
expenses were offset by the reduction in the first quarter of
certain legal reserves.

Research and development expenses increased $19 million for the
second quarter or 12% over prior year levels to $180 million, and
increased $41 million or 13% over prior year levels to $353
million for the first six months of 1994.  Included in this
research and development were Genetics Institute, Inc.
expenditures of approximately $28 million for the second quarter
and $54 million for the first six months of 1994, net of
collaborative revenues.


Unusual Items:


     Restructuring Charge

In the second quarter of 1994, the Company recorded a $174
million charge for the cost of implementing two restructuring
programs related primarily to the U.S. pharmaceutical and
consumer health care businesses.  The first program, announced in
April 1994, involved the consolidation of the manufacturing,
distribution and quality control functions for the U.S.
pharmaceutical and consumer health care businesses and will
result in the elimination of excess production capacity and
associated workforce, primarily through the closure of the
Company's manufacturing facility in Hammonton, New Jersey.  The
second program addressed the organizational effectiveness of the
Company's U.S. pharmaceutical division and will result in further
workforce reductions.  In total, approximately 2,000 jobs in the
domestic pharmaceutical and consumer health care businesses will
<PAGE>
be eliminated as a result of these programs.  These
restructurings are intended to lower costs in response to
pressure to reduce health care costs, and to enable the Company
to continue to expand its pharmaceutical and biotechnology
research and development.

     Asset Sales

In May 1994, the Company sold Corometrics Medical Systems, Inc.,
a manufacturer of perinatal monitoring systems, to Marquette
Electronics, Inc. for $74 million, exclusive of certain lease
receivables of approximately $37 million.  Also in May, the
Company sold Agri-Bio Corporation, a manufacturer of a medicated
feed additive for the poultry industry, for $40 million to
Hoffmann-La Roche Inc.  In addition, the Company sold its former
corporate headquarters facility in New York City for $50 million. 

Other (income) expense, net, for the second quarter and first
half of 1994 includes the aggregate gain of approximately $76
million from these sales.

     Income Taxes

The Company's effective tax rate was 5.9% for the second quarter
and 20.1% for the first six months of 1994 compared to 26.5% for
the 1993 second quarter and 26.8% for the six month period.  The
lower rates in 1994 are due to the reduction of certain tax
accruals which were no longer deemed necessary in the quarter. 
The effective tax rate is expected to be approximately 28% for
the balance of the year.

     The restructuring charge, the gain on asset sales and the tax
     adjustment, in the aggregate, had no effect on the Company's 1994
     earnings per share.

Health Care Reform and Competition

The debate regarding U.S. health care reform and its uncertainty
continued during the first half of 1994.  While the Company
cannot predict with certainty the nature of these reforms and the
impact they might have on its domestic business, market
competition has put pressures on pricing and operating results. 
These trends are expected to continue throughout the remainder of
1994.
<PAGE>

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 estrogen replacement
therapy, 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

The Company continues to generate positive cash flow from
operating activities.  Cash and cash equivalents decreased $291
million in the first half of 1994 to $1.65 billion.  Cash flow
from operating activities of approximately $409 million, proceeds
of approximately $171 million from sales of assets as well as
available cash reserves were used principally for dividend
payments of $451 million, common share repurchases of $246
million and capital expenditures of $191 million.

The Company repurchased 4,119,000 shares of common stock during
the first half of 1994.  On July 28, 1994, the Board of Directors
authorized the repurchase of an additional 10 million shares of
the Company's common stock, subject to price and market
conditions.  A program to repurchase 10 million shares originally
announced on June 25, 1992 is nearing completion.

Capital expenditures included the expansion of the Company's
Wyeth-Ayerst R&D facilities in New Jersey and Pennsylvania,
facilities expansion projects at Genetics Institute, the
construction of the Quinton Instrument Company's new headquarters
building in Washington and continued strategic investments in
manufacturing/distribution facilities worldwide.

On August 10, 1994, the Company commenced a tender offer for all
of the outstanding shares of common stock of American Cyanamid
Company ("ACC") for $95 per share in cash, subject to certain
conditions (the "Offer").  The amount of funds required to
acquire all of the ACC shares at the Offer price and to pay
related fees and expenses is approximately $9.2 billion, which is
intended to be financed with a combination of bank borrowings and
the Company's general corporate funds.  On August 9, 1994, the
Company entered into a commitment letter with Chemical Securities
Inc. and Chemical Bank under which, subject to certain
<PAGE>
conditions, Chemical Securities Inc. agreed to use its "best
efforts" to form a syndicate of financial institutions to provide
a $9.0 billion bank credit facility.  Further, Chemical Bank has
agreed to provide up to $1.2 billion of such facility.  The
facility would be used to finance the acquisition of ACC, to
replace the Company's existing $1.0 billion bank credit facility
(under which there are no amounts outstanding) and for general
corporate purposes, including commercial paper back-up.  Further
information concerning the Offer and the proposed financing is
set forth in a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission
on Schedule 14D-1.  

The Company has been notified by one rating agency that its
current commercial paper rating, and by two rating agencies that
its current long-term debt rating may be lowered if the Company
is successful in this acquisition.  Management is confident that
the cash flows from the combined businesses will be adequate to
repay both the principal and interest on the acquisition
financing and, further, to allow the Company to continue to fund
its operations, pay dividends and maintain its ongoing programs
of capital expenditures, without restricting its ability to make
further acquisitions as may be appropriate.

                        Part II - Other Information


Item 1.   Legal Proceedings

          The Company is involved in various legal proceedings of
          a nature considered normal to its business. 

          There are approximately 1,700 cases pending,
          predominantly in the United Kingdom, based primarily on
          alleged dependence on the tranquilizer ATIVAN.
          Substantially all of the cases in the United Kingdom
          have been supported by governmental legal aid funding.
          The Legal Aid Board in England, where more than 1,100
          cases are pending, had determined to discontinue
          funding of these cases, although the Board has recently
          indicated that it will reconsider that decision in
          light of procedural arguments raised by plaintiffs. If
          this decision is confirmed upon reconsideration and
          upheld on appeal, these cases will be dismissed and the
          other legally-aided cases in Scotland and Northern
          Ireland (approximately 340 cases) may be discontinued
          as well.

          A class of women who have suffered injuries allegedly
          as a result of the removal of Norplant, the Company's
          implantable contraceptive product, has been certified
          in Doe v. Wyeth-Ayerst Laboratories, a class action
          pending in the Circuit Court of Illinois for Cook
          County.  The Company is seeking reconsideration of the
          certification order on the grounds that the
          individualized issues raised by claims arising out of
          Norplant insertions preclude class treatment.  Another
          class action seeking recovery for the same injuries,
          Johnson v. Wyeth-Ayerst Laboratories, has been filed in
          the 160th Judicial District Court for Dallas County,
          Texas, although a class has not been certified to date. 
          The Company understands that similar actions have been
          filed in other jurisdictions but have not yet been
          served upon the Company.  The Company also is a
          defendant in approximately 25 other individual lawsuits
          seeking damages for injuries allegedly caused by
          Norplant.

          As described in the Company's Annual Report on Form 
          10-K for the year ended December 31, 1993, the Company
          has been involved in the Brand Name Prescription Drug
          Antitrust Litigation which has been consolidated for
          pretrial purposes in the U.S. District Court for the
          Northern District of Illinois (MDL 997).  Additional
          complaints with similar allegations, which have been
<PAGE>
          filed against the Company, other manufacturers of
          pharmaceutical products and wholesalers, have also been
          consolidated in this action.  Among these cases is an
          Alabama case brought on behalf of a purported class of
          consumers who purchased prescription drugs in the State
          of Alabama.  Additionally, complaints were filed in
          Alabama state courts under Alabama law on behalf of an
          alleged class of retail pharmacies.  A complaint was
          also filed under state law in California state court on
          behalf of a purported class of consumers who purchased
          prescription drugs in California.  In Wisconsin, a
          complaint was filed against the Company and other
          pharmaceutical companies alleging violations of a
          Wisconsin state uniform pricing statute.

          Following an appeal by the Company from a judgment
          affirming a penalty imposed by the New York Department
          of Environmental Conservation in 1992, the Appellate
          Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Third
          Department, has issued an order reducing the amount of
          the penalty from $750,000 to $97,000.

          On August 9, 1994, the Company commenced an action in
          the U.S. District Court for the District of Maine
          against American Cyanamid Company ("ACC") and certain
          members of its Board of Directors in connection with
          the tender offer commenced by the Company.  The action
          seeks declaratory and injunctive relief against
          enforcement of certain anti-takeover provisions of the
          Maine Business Corporation Act, ACC's articles of
          incorporation and its by-laws.  Further information
          concerning this litigation is set forth in the
          Company's Statement on Schedule 14D-1 relating to the
          Offer, which Statement is incorporated in this Form 
          10-Q by reference.

          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.

Re:  Credit Agreement among American Home Products Corporation,
     the Lenders Parties thereto, and Chemical Bank, as Agent,
     Dated as of April 29, 1993 ("Credit Agreement").

All of the lenders except for Westpac Banking Corporation
responded affirmative to the extension request dated March 28,
1994.  Chemical Bank has acquired Westpac Banking Corporation's
$25,000,000 commitment pursuant to section 8.7 (d), effective
April 27, 1994.  All of the other lenders' commitments remain
unchanged.  Therefore, pursuant to Section 2.18 under the above-
referenced Credit Agreement, the Termination Date has been
extended to April 11, 1995.  The effective date of this extension
is April 12, 1994.

It has been a pleasure working with you on this extension. 
Please feel free to call me if you have any further questions.


                              Yours truly,     

                              /S/ Julie A. Soper
