The $\mathrm{Ce}{\mathrm{Pd}}_{1\ensuremath{-}x}{\mathrm{Rh}}_{x}$ alloy exhibits a continuous evolution from ferromagnetism $({T}_{C}=6.5\phantom{\rule{0.3em}{0ex}}\mathrm{K})$ at $x=0$ to a mixed-valence (MV) state at $x=1$. We have performed a detailed investigation on the suppression of the ferromagnetic (F) phase in this alloy using dc $({\ensuremath{\chi}}_{\mathrm{dc}})$ and ac $({\ensuremath{\chi}}_{\mathrm{ac}})$ susceptibility, specific heat $({C}_{m})$, resistivity $(\ensuremath{\rho})$, and thermal โ€ฆ
