it's a mercury one...is a fix possible or will it no longer end accurately?
 
When you say divided, you have two bits on top of each other? This happened a few times to me. I stuck the thermometre in really hot water, forcing the mercury up to the top. Then let it settle back down. Always seemed to work.

I would first shake it down, then heat and finally cool. Repeating the last two if necessary.
