August 14, 1996, as amended by Amendment No. 1, with respect to its
offer to purchase any and all outstanding shares of Common Stock, par
value $1.00 per share, of Roto-Rooter, Inc., a Delaware corporation,
at a price of $41.00 net in cash per share (the "Offer Price"), as set

(a)(1) and (a)(2), respectively, is incorporated herein by reference.
In addition, the information set forth in the Offer to Purchase under
"The Tender Offer--Certain Information Concerning the Company" shall
be amended so that footnote (a) to the table on page 28 of the Offer
to Purchase entitled "Roto- Rooter, Inc. Selected Consolidated
