The liquid in a Mercury thermometer is ... Mercury.
Mercury is an element which is liquid from -38.83 °C to 356.73 °C, making it useful for measuring temperatures for most of the environments we encounter in person. Below that range, mercury solidifies and we would have to find another liquid to use in a thermometer or find another way to measure temperature (such as a thermocouple). Above that temperature range, mercury starts to boil (unless kept under pressure) so it's not suitable for measuring high temperatures. In theory we could still use a liquid thermometer with something that is liquid at high temperatures, but it gets rather complicated and there are easier and safer ways to measure high temperatures.
