     Exhibit 15

                                     AMENDMENT
               AMENDMENT, dated as of August 8, 1994 (the "Amendment"), by
     and among McKesson Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the "Company"),
     Eli Lilly and Company, an Indiana corporation ("Parent"), and ECO
     Acquisition Corporation, a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned
     subsidiary of Parent (the "Purchaser").

               WHEREAS, the Company, Parent and the Purchaser entered into an
     Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of July 10, 1994 (the "Merger
     Agreement"); and

               WHEREAS, each of the parties hereto have deemed it advisable
     to amend the Merger Agreement in the manner set forth herein.

               NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing, the parties
     hereto hereby agree as follows:

               1.  Section 2.10(a)(i) of the Merger Agreement is hereby
     amended by adding to the end of such Section the following proviso:

               "; provided that each such employee, former employee, director
               or former director shall have the right to elect to defer (the
               "Deferral Election") the receipt of all or any portion of such
               cash amount (any such deferred amount, the "Deferred Option
               Amount"), on such terms and conditions as may be provided
               prior to the Effective Time by the Company and Spinco (with
               respect to Spinco Employees (as defined in the Distribution
               Agreement) and non-employee directors of the Company) or by
               Parent (with respect to Retained Employees (as defined in
               Section 6.9 hereof)).  In the event of any Deferral Election
               which is agreed upon by the Company and Spinco, Spinco shall
               be solely liable for the payment of the Deferred Option Amount
               with respect thereto and the Company shall not be obligated to
               make any payments at the Effective Time or at any other time
               with respect to such Deferred Option Amount."

               2.  Section 2.13(b)(ii) of the Merger Agreement is hereby
     amended to read, in its entirety, as follows:

               "(ii) the amount paid or payable with respect to Section
               2.10(a)(i) hereof (excluding the aggregate amount of all
               Deferred Option Amounts with respect to which Spinco has
               become liable pursuant to such Section 2.10(a)(i)) and"

               3.  In the event of a conflict between the terms and
     conditions of this Amendment and the terms and conditions of the Merger
     Agreement, the terms and conditions of this Amendment shall prevail and
     govern.  Except as otherwise expressly set forth herein, the Merger
     Agreement shall remain unaffected and in full force and effect in
     accordance with the terms and conditions thereof.

               4.  This Amendment may be executed in two or more
     counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of
     which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

               5.  This Amendment shall be governed by and construed in
     accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, regardless of the
     laws that might otherwise govern under applicable principles of
     conflicts of law.

               IN WITNESS WHEREOF, each of the parties set forth below has
     caused this Amendment to be executed on its behalf by a duly authorized
     officer as of the date first set forth above.
