Excerpted text	WOULD YOU LIKE TO HAVE YOUR APPENDIX' PORTRAIT painted in all its intimate details, as a permanent record of your appendectomy? W. Branks Stewart, artist for L.S. U. College of Medicine, New Orleans, is the man who could do it. For 13 years Mr. Stewart has been recording in picture form the details of surgical operations, disease processes and bone fractures for the local medical school. These illustrative art works are used for museum demonstrations, in textbooks, in medical journals and as teaching aids for class work of medical students. Mi'. Stewart not only paints but also draws and makes plaster molds. He takes photographs through microscopes and down such complicated devices as the bronchoscope-which is used to see inside a person's windpipe, bronchial tubes and lungs. When a surgeon suddenly finds something at an operation which he wishes to record or publish, a rush call is made for drawings or photographs. Sometimes a patient presents a rare condition at one of the clinics and Mr, Stewart is called over immediately. Some weeks he attends as many as five operations. Requests for him are frequently made by surgeons with new techniques that they want recorded. At the medical school, 1542 Tu.la.ne avenue, Mr. Stewart has four rooms full of mysterious gadgets which, to the uninitiated eye of the layman, appear like a series of Rube Goldberg contraptions. But they are singularly effective in recording med-ical science. One of his cameras takes a stereoscopic picture of the human eye. A photo-micrography instrument, which looks like a camera four feet long, takes photographs through a microscope's lens, for illustrations in medical books.
