The Incredible Shrinking Man. Theres bags of fun for jolly David Cox
The Incredible Shrinking Man. Theres bags of fun for jolly David Coxs kids these days measuring up to the man-mountain dad used to be. For hospital treatment has made those circus-size slacks far too vast for his diminishing assets. Father-of-three David, 42, used to be a 420lbs Goliath. Then doctors ordered a clampdown on his giant over-eating. A clamp was wired to his mouth at a Manchester hospital. A tiny hole allows in only liquids and the smallest particles of food. And in six months the man they used to call Hampty Dumpty has shed an astonishing 140lbs. That isn t all hes lost, either. Doctors unlocked his jaws for a while the other day and he found that he d triumphed over his mighty appetite for his wife Wilhelminas cooking. Now David is wired up again. For he aims to carry on shrinking. Young David, 11, and Graham, nine, show dad how big he used to be. June 1976 P013703

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "The Incredible Shrinking Man" we witness the remarkable transformation of David Cox, a once towering figure who has now become a shadow of his former self. His children, young David and Graham, playfully measure themselves against their father's old circus-size slacks, highlighting the stark contrast between his past and present. At 420lbs, David was a Goliath consumed by overeating until doctors intervened with a drastic solution. A clamp wired to his mouth at a Manchester hospital restricted him to liquids and minuscule food particles only. In just six months, he shed an astonishing 140lbs, leaving behind not only excess weight but also conquering his insatiable appetite for his wife Wilhelmina's cooking. Although briefly liberated from the constraints of the clamp when doctors unlocked his jaws recently, David willingly returned to being wired up again. Determined to continue shrinking further in size and reclaiming control over his health. This photograph captures both humor and inspiration as it showcases the bags of fun that jolly David Cox's kids are having while witnessing their father's incredible journey towards better well-being. It serves as a reminder that with determination and medical intervention, even seemingly insurmountable challenges can be overcome.
