NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1 - The accompanying interim financial statements and related
notes should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial
Statements of Johnson & Johnson and Subsidiaries and related notes
as contained in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year
ended January 2, 1994. The interim financial statements include all
adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) and
accruals necessary in the judgment of management for a fair
presentation of such statements.  Earnings per share were
calculated on the basis of the average number of shares of common
stock outstanding during the applicable period.
  
NOTE 2 - ADOPTION OF SFAS NO. 115 - Effective January 3, 1994, the
Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS)
No. 115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity
Securities".  Investments subject to this standard are required to
be carried at fair value, unless they are held to maturity.  There
was no effect on income as a result of adopting SFAS No. 115.
     The fair value of investment securities subject to the
provisions of SFAS No. 115, totaled $203 million at July 3, 1994,
which exceeded the carrying amount by $20 million.
     This unrealized gain was credited to Stockholders' Equity at
July 3, 1994 net of deferred income taxes of $7 million.  These
investment securities are included in Marketable Securities Current
and Other Assets on the balance sheet.

      First Half                     26.4          27.2


The effective income tax rates for the first half of 1994 and 1993
are 26.4% and 27.2%, respectively, as compared to the U.S. federal
statutory rate of 35%.  The major reason for this difference is the
result of domestic subsidiaries operating in Puerto Rico under a
grant providing for tax relief.

Item 2 - MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
         FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


SALES AND EARNINGS


  Consolidated sales for the first six months of 1994 of $7,606
million exceeded sales of $7,101 million for the first six months
of 1993 by 7.1%.  The strength of the U.S. dollar relative to
foreign currencies decreased sales for the first six months of 1994
by 1.6%.  Excluding currency, sales increased 8.7% on an
operational basis for the first six months of 1994.  Consolidated
net earnings for the first six months of 1994 were $1,103 million,
compared with net earnings of $998 million for the first six months
of 1993.  Earnings per share for the first six months of 1994 were
$1.71 compared with $1.52 for the same period a year ago.  Net
earnings and earnings per share rose 10.5% and 12.5%, respectively.

  Consolidated sales for the second quarter of 1994 were $3,916
million, an increase of 10.6% over 1993 second quarter sales of
$3,541 million.  The effect of the stronger U.S. dollar relative to
foreign currencies decreased second quarter sales by 1.1%. 
Excluding the effect of currency exchange rates, sales would have
increased 11.7%.  Consolidated net earnings for the second quarter
of 1994 were $559 million, compared with $495 million for the same
period a year ago, an increase of 12.9%.  Earnings per share for
the second quarter of 1994 rose 14.7% to $.86 compared with $.75 in
the 1993 period.





                           - 12 -
  Domestic sales for the first six months of 1994 were $3,756
million, an increase of 5.9% over 1993 domestic sales of $3,548
million for the same period a year ago.  Sales by international
subsidiaries were $3,850 million for the first six months of 1994
compared with $3,553 million for the same period a year ago, an
increase of 8.4%.  Excluding the impact of the stronger value of
the dollar, international sales increased by 11.6%.
  Consumer sales increased 7.3% worldwide for the quarter versus
the same period a year ago.  Domestic sales growth was led by
higher sales posted by McNeil Consumer Products Company,
manufacturer of TYLENOL, IMODIUM A-D, and other over-the-counter
drugs.  The increase was partially offset by a decline in MONISTAT
sales by Advanced Care Products due to the intense competition in
the over-the-counter market for vaginal yeast infection remedies. 
The increase in international sales was attributed to the strong
performance in the Asia-Pacific and Latin America regions, as well
as the addition of RoC, the French-based adult skin care business
acquired in December, 1993.
  Worldwide pharmaceutical sales for the quarter increased 16.9%,
with domestic sales growing 26.4%.  Leading the increase in
domestic pharmaceutical sales gains were RISPERDAL, a new anti-
psychotic medication for schizophrenia; PROPULSID, a
gastrointestinal product introduced during the third quarter of
1993; FLOXIN, an anti-bacterial; PROCRIT, an anti-anemia drug and
SPORANOX, an anti-fungal drug.  RISPERDAL, since its launch last
February, has met with considerable support from the medical
community and is gaining market share due to its efficacy in
treating the symptoms of schizophrenia.  International
pharmaceutical sales were up 11%, led by strong sales increases
registered by EPREX, an anti-anemia drug SPORANOX and PREPULSID, a
gastrointestinal drug.
                                  - 13 -
                                    
  Worldwide sales for the professional segment increased 8.1%.  The
domestic sales increase was 4.5%, or 7.8% if adjusted for the
divestiture of Sterile Design in 1993, a business that packaged
custom supplies for surgical procedures.  Worldwide growth
continued to be led by the excellent performance of Ethicon Endo-
Surgery, which markets instruments used in less-invasive surgery,
Vistakon, which markets disposable contact lenses, and LifeScan,
which markets blood glucose monitoring systems.  Ethicon Endo-
Surgery continued to gain market share in both the endoscopic and
mechanical wound closure markets at an impressive pace.
  Average shares of common stock outstanding in the first half of
1994 were 643.2 million, compared with 655.4 million for the same
period a year ago, as a result of a $500 million share repurchase
program in 1993.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
  Net debt (borrowings net of cash and current marketable
securities) was 17.5% of net capital compared with 25.8% at the end
of 1993.  Net debt decreased by $524 million during the first six
months of 1994 to $1.41 billion at July 3, 1994.  Total debt
represented 24.0% of total capital (stockholders' equity and total
borrowings) at quarter end, compared with 30.2% at the end of 1993.
  Additions to property, plant and equipment were $327 million for
the first six months of 1994, compared with $375 for the same
period in 1993.
  On July 18, 1994, the Board of Directors approved a regular
quarterly dividend of 29 cents per share payable on September 6,
1994 to shareholders of record as of August 16, 1994.
