What is a Diuretic? One Can’t Feel Well When Kidneys Act Sluggishly. THE part played by the kidneys and their importance to bodily health should be clearly understood. Sluggish kidneys do not thoroughly cleanse the blood of poisonous wastes. Such impurities are apt to make one dull, tired and achy with often a nagging backache, drowsy headaches and dizziness. A common warning of imperfect kidney action is scanty or burning excretions. Doan’s Pills aid the kidneys in their eliminative work. 50,000 users have publicly recommended Doan's. Ask vour neighbor!
