           NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The Company believes that it has included all adjustments,
consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, which are
necessary to present fairly the results of operations for these
periods.  The results of operations for the interim periods are not
necessarily indicative of results of operations for a full year. 
These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the
Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes to Consolidated
Financial Statements, as filed by the Company in the 1993 Annual
Report on Form 10-K.

The Company provides postretirement health care benefits and life
insurance coverage to a limited number of employees at a
subsidiary.  Effective January 1, 1993, the Company adopted the
provisions of a new accounting standard related to postretirement
health care benefits resulting in the Company recording an after
tax charge of $6,100,000.
  
   MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
                    AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Consolidated net sales for the second quarter of $256,300,000
increased 5 percent over the second quarter 1993 net sales of
$243,900,000.  Sales for the first six months of 1994 of
$503,700,000 increased 5 percent over the $480,300,000 for the same
period last year.  Sales in the U.S. for the second quarter of 1994
were $180,100,000, up 7 percent from 1993, while international
sales of $76,200,000 were level with last year.  The currency
translation effect reduced sales outside the U.S. in the second
quarter of 1994 by 2 percent.  For the first six months of 1994,
U.S. sales totaled $359,500,000, up 6 percent, while international
sales increased 1 percent to $144,200,000.  Currency translation
for the first half of 1994 lowered worldwide sales by approximately
1 percent, and the sale of Bard MedSystems division, reported in
February 1993, had the impact of lowering sales an additional 1
percent.

In the second quarter of 1994 the urological and surgical product
groups continued to lead the Company's revenue and earnings growth. 
Contigen, the new stress urinary incontinence product was the
Company's most important contributor with first-half revenue in
excess of $15 million.  Cardiovascular sales remain soft, primarily
due to a lack of new product approvals in the United States at the
USCI division.  The Company continues to develop and launch new
balloon angioplasty products in international markets.

The gross profit margins of 51 percent remain the same for the six
months ended June 30, 1994 and 1993.

Other income(expense), net, totaled $2,200,000 in expenses for the
first half of 1994 and $11,400,000 in revenues for the same period
last year.  Included in the 1993 amount is approximately
$15,900,000 gain from the sale of the MedSystems division to Baxter
International and several nonrecurring charges of over $5,000,000.

Effective January 1, 1993 the Company adopted Statements of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 106, "Accounting for Post
Retirement Benefits Other Than Pensions" and No. 109, "Accounting
for Income Taxes".  The adoption of Statement No. 106 is further
discussed in the accompanying footnotes.

Second quarter consolidated net income of $23,300,000 increased 15%
from the $20,300,000 second quarter results of last year.  Net
income for the six months of 1994 of $46,100,000 reflects an
increase of 12% from $41,100,000 for the same period last year.

For  the first  six months  of  1994, the  Company has  increased
its short-term borrowings by approximately $40,000,000.  These
additional borrowings were used for general working capital and a
portion was used for the payment of the Department of Justice
settlement.

Accrued expenses declined by $26,500,000 and other long-term
liabilities declined by $15,300,000.  These reductions were mainly
a result of the Company paying $30,500,000 to the federal
government and the reclassification of $15,300,000 from long-term
to short-term for its obligations under the Department of Justice
settlement agreement.

Other shareholders' investment has increased by $10,800,000 in the
first six months of 1994 mainly as a result of translation
adjustments.

During the first six months of 1993 the Company invested over
$19,000,000 acquiring the assets of several companies or product
lines.  The largest of these companies acquired were the assets of
Solco Hospital Products Group, Inc., whose principal products are
autotransfusion devices.

During the first six months of 1994 and 1993, the Company acquired
300,000 and 978,600 respectively, of its common shares which were
retired.

On April 5, 1994 the U.S. District Court in Boston approved the
plea agreement signed by the Company and the federal government on
October 14, 1993.  The agreement is in connection with charges
stemming from violations, primarily during the 1980's by the
Company's USCI division, of the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act
and other statutes.  Under the agreement, the Company agreed to pay
a fine and civil damages totaling $61 million which had been
charged against the 1993 third quarter's earnings.  In May 1994,
the Company paid $30.5 million to the government in accordance with
this agreement.

By letter dated May 20, 1993, EPA notified Bard Urological
Division's Glens Falls facility that it may be a Potentially
Responsible Party ("PRP") relative to clean-up of the Frontier
Chemical site, which is located in Niagara Falls, New York.  In
September 1993,  the Company entered into a consent order
concerning the first phase of the cleanup, which was a drum removal
action.  The Company's liability for the first phase is currently
estimated at $119,000.

As previously disclosed, the Appellate Division of New Jersey
Superior Court dismissed the appeal of a single shareholder seeking
to challenge as inadequate the 1991 settlements of all shareholder
litigation arising out of the withdrawal of certain angioplasty
catheters from the United States market.  On June 7, 1994, the New
Jersey Supreme Court denied that shareholder's petition to appeal
the dismissal.
