Dr. James Barry, who died in the English army in 1865, was an army surgeon for fifty years, an inveterate smoker, and of so testy a temperament that he was always in trouble, and once fought a duel. He was an unusually skillful and bold surgeon. Dr. Barry was a woman; a fact discovered and officially announced the day after her death.
