Excerpt from Diphtheria and Other Membranous Affections of the Throat The noteworthy points in this case are, first, the effect of the local treatment by strong hydrogen peroxide solutions on the patient's general condition second, the disappearance of the membrane under the use of this application; its reappearance when carbolic acid and lime-water were substituted, and its final disappearance when the strong hydrogen peroxide was resumed.

Francis Henry Williams was born on April 15, 1852 in Uxbridge, Massachussets, the second of two sons of Henry Willard Williams by his first wife, Elizabeth Dewé of London; by his second wife he had seven additional children. The elder Williams was a distinguished ophthalmologist, and three of his sons followed him into medicine, Francis among them.
After graduating (B. S. ) from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1873 and taking a trip around the world, during which he served as assistant member of the United States Transit of Venus Expedition to Japan, young Williams entered the Harvard Medical School. He received the M. D. degree in 1877 and devoted the next two years to medical studies in Europe.
In 1879 he began a long and distinguished career as a practising physician in Boston. From 1884 to 1891 Williams was a member of the faculty of the Harvard Medical School, first as instructor, then as assistant professor, teaching materia medica and general therapeutics.
He was one of the first physicians in Boston to give bedside instruction in the wards to small groups of students.
In 1896 he became visiting physician to the Boston City Hospital and in 1913 senior physician, a post he held until 1930. As early as 1892 he initiated bacteriological examination in cases of suspected diphtheria at the Boston City Hospital, and in 1894 he was the first in his community to use antitoxin in the treatment of that disease. Only a few weeks after the discovery of X - rays by Wilhelm Konrad Roentgen in December 1895, Williams began using them to study cases of pulmonary tuberculosis and other thoracic lesions. As early as April 1896 he delivered a paper, "Notes on X Rays in Medicine, " illustrating it with X ray photographs. He early developed, in collaboration with his brother, Charles Herbert, an ophthalmologist, a method of localizing foreign bodies in the eye by means of X - rays.
In 1901 he issued a volume embodying the results of his technical and clinical studies, The Roentgen Rays in Medicine and Surgery, as an Aid in Diagnosis and as a Therapeutic Agent. Three editions were printed within the short span of three years, and the book became a classic in Roentgen literature. Since the Boston City Hospital lacked proper facilities, Williams had to set up his first fluoroscope at the Rogers Laboratory of Physics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and take his patients there for examination.
The technical training he had acquired as an undergraduate at M. I. T. proved of great value to him in the construction of better X-ray apparatus and instrumentation. Moreover, he was fortunate in finding a kindred soul in the physicist William Rollins, also trained at M. I. T. Together, over the years, they invented and built many devices that greatly aided the practical application of X rays and radium, among them the "see-hear, " a fluorescent screen combined with a stethoscope for simultaneously observing and listening to intrathoracic activity.
As early as 1904 Williams had also begun experiments with the therapeutic use of beta rays from radium. The results of this work he collected and published the year before his death in a small volume entitled Radium Treatment of Skin Diseases, New Growths, Diseases of the Eyes, and Tonsils.
He died in Boston and his body was cremated at Mt. Auburn Cemetery, Cambridge.

Williams was president (1917 - 18) of the Association of American Physicians and a fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. In 1882 he became a life member of the corporation of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
On September 25, 1891, he married Anna Dunn Phillips of Boston. They had no children.
