<HTML><BODY><PRE>                          POWER OF ATTORNEY



       Know  all  persons  by  these  presents,  that  the

undersigned  hereby  constitutes  and  appoints  each   of

Russell  C. Deyo, Linda E. King, John A. Papa and  Michael

lawful attorney-in-fact to:



 (1)  execute for and on behalf of the undersigned, in  the

     the undersigned's capacity as an officer and/or  director

     of  Johnson & Johnson (the "Company"), Forms 3, 4 and

     5  in accordance with Section 16(a) of the Securities

     Exchange  Act  of 1934 and the rules thereunder  (the

     "Exchange Act") and Forms 144 in accordance with Rule

     144  of  the  Securities Act of 1933 (the "Securities

     Act");



           (2)  do and perform any and all acts for and on

     behalf  of the undersigned which may be necessary  or

     desirable to complete and execute any such Form 3, 4,

     5  and  144 and timely file such form with the United

     States  Securities  and Exchange Commission  and  any

     stock exchange or similar authority; and



          (3)  take any other action of any type whatsoever in

     connection  with the foregoing which, in the opinion

     of  such attorney-in-fact, may be of benefit  to,  in

     the  best  interest of, or legally required  by,  the

     undersigned,  it being understood that the  documents

     executed  by such attorney-in-fact on behalf  of  the

     This Power of Attorney shall remain in full force and

effect until the undersigned is no longer required to file

respect  to the undersigned's holdings of and transactions

in  securities  issued  by  the  Company,  unless  earlier

revoked  by the undersigned in a signed writing  delivered

      IN  WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned has caused this

Power  of Attorney to be executed as of the date set forth

below.
