 remember correctly mercury will leach at a lower potential than silver
 and this is the reaction which would proceed at the greatest rate.
 
 Silver and mercury will act independently and while mercury depresses
 the immune system and silver augments it, silver will not counteract the
 toxicity of mercury as far as I know.

Ivan: Whatever the reduction potential is, it's far less than that 
corresponding to pure mercury or silver since silver and mercury react to for 
an intermetallic compound that reduces the activity of each to a tiny 
fraction of its standard state which in this case is the pure metal. Roger
